Scanialara You won't be disappointed!

Protraph Lack of good storyline.

Taraparain Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

BelSports This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

Kirpianuscus nice. and this is the basic virtue of any animation. because the story could be surprising only for the details and the voices are the only clue for define interesting characters and the adventures are crumbs from same type many another films. short, the noble friend, the thief who becomes hero, the love as the necessary spice, a bad girl who seems be the most important motif to see the film. and, sure, perfect actors to give soul to the characters. it is not easy to define Sinbad as a great animation. but it represents pure entertainment. and this is the only thing who could be considered important. because , maybe, it is a good opportunity to remind the old stories about the legendary travels of the lead hero.

Dr Jacques COULARDEAU Apart from the animation, hence the special visual effects of this animation, the film is rather banal though it has little to do with the original Sindbad the Sailor. It adds a supernatural evil world dominated by a woman that goes far beyond the story as we know it and even as we can dream it. The main story here is about the existence of a book of peace that establishes peace in the world. The supernatural evil being wants to steal it to create chaos and havoc. She manages at first and then Sinbad has to recuperate it.Yet the story adds three elements that give it some interesting dimension. The first one is a dog. Sinbad has a big and extremely faithful and frightening dog that can fight just like any other sailor. Sinbad is not a merchant he is a captain and he has the whole crew of his ship under his own command, including the dog who is also a perfect autonomous attacker.. The second real change or addition is the fact that Sinbad has an extremely old and close friend and it looks and sounds like more than just a best friend. This best-er friend is ready to exchange his own life for that of Sinbad after the evil woman has stolen the book and Sinbad is accused of being the mastermind of the theft. But this best friend is about to get married to the daughter of the local ruler. So she does not exactly like the deal. She knows Sinbad has not stolen the book his best friend had brought in the first place, but she does not trust Sinbad who is supposed to go and recuperate it. So she goes along, incognito at first but very fast known of all and public.That's the really funny part because she falls in love of course with that poor Sinbad who did not exactly fell for her at first sight, even if his dog did. But after the confrontation with the evil female supernatural being with whom Sinbad had a "truth or dare" game of some sort that this evil woman declared he had lost, Sinbad and his best friend's fiancée have to go back. But unluckily for the evil woman he had told her if he did not get the book he would go back to save his friend. She did not believe it: "You lied!" But he does go back and he takes the place of his friend on the execution chopping block, which gives the lie to the evil woman who had called him a liar. Strangely enough this evil woman has honor and she comes and delivers the book since Sinbad had said the truth and thus had won the game. I let you discover the last twist that gives a perfect good ending in romantic colors and music to the film. It should be a good film for primary school kids, but beyond twelve you'd better abstain.Dr Jacques COULARDEAU

meganphipps THIS IS HAS TO BE A UNIQUE AND AN AMAZING FILM EVER DONE BY DREAMWORKS. This was one of my favourite films when I was growing up and I would always watch when I could, still own it to this very day. This film makes you want to sail the seven seas and makes you think of adventure (I know I did when I saw it). Dreamworks always makes amazing animated films and to be honest this is one of their better ones (in my opinion anyway). One of my favourite from this movie has to be when Sinbad goes to save Marina from a huge snow owl and they keep making noises. This is a good film for any one who looks sea movies or just like dreamworks. Favourite quote 'Put a shirt on before you poke someone's eyes out!'

SnoopyStyle Bandit of the seas Sinbad (Brad Pitt) is tricked by Greek goddess of chaos Eris (Michelle Pfeiffer). She steals the magical Book of Peace and he's framed for the thief. Sinbad is sentenced to death. His childhood friend Prince Proteus (Joseph Fiennes) of Syracuse is a straight arrow, and he takes the place of Sinbad for his punishment. Sinbad is given 10 days to return the book or else Prince Proteus will be put to death. Proteus' fiancée Marina (Catherine Zeta-Jones) stowaway on Sinbad's ship while he debates whether to runaway to Fiji.This is a DreamWorks animation. It has the looks of a 2-D animation along with CG. It looks like a cheaper straight to video animation. This money loser signals a change over to the CG world. The story lacks suspense or magic, but it seems just good enough. The big name voices doesn't help anything. The high seas adventure is reasonable but rambling. The lack of moral backbone is very trying.
