KnotMissPriceless Why so much hype?
CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
henry balfour There simply are not enough films that can qualify over this length of time with the family as we have grown up. My daughters were five and seven when it came out, and we have enjoyed the film repeatedly as they grew to now 22 and 24. This is excellent value for money !! The production strengths are there in spades ... acting A+++, cinematography A+++ Scripting A+++ locations A+++. I won't go one, but wanted to review this quite lovely film now in 2017, after all these years. This one is a winner.
gandalf_a_1999 This movie with its many popular tales told throughout was incredible. Don't let the length put you off as it almost did me. In the end I felt it could have been longer it was that enjoyable. The popular tales of Ali Baba and Aladdin, along with a few other I didn't recognize were fantastic. Each story was able to flow into the next using characters from the previous story, until the last 2 tales after Aladdin.(The only small miscast was that of Aladdin, Lee, while his acting was believable, did not seem to strike me as an Aladdin.)Each tale has a point, coming together in the end.Spellbinding entertainment.
miksko Normally I put TV productions into a category of their own; very few of them stand a comparison with productions made for the big screen. There are however a notable few exceptions; most of them Brittish, like "Prime Suspect", "Walking with Dinosaurs" and "Queer as Folks"."Arabian Nights", a Jim Henson Production, is yet another one. I won't try to fool you; there are tracks left from the TV format and its commercial breaks. But the casting is good, the acting is excellent and the story is told in a quick but relaxed pace, with some interesting quirks.In short: It has all the sence of wonder you expect from a good story book.
monsterltd I saw ARABIAN NIGHTS and enjoyed it . the movie was greatly produced and the cast was perfect. but there is a point which annoys me and that`s the role of persia in this story. the real book is named "Hezar O Yek Shab"(1001 nights) Which was written by an iranian author "Abdollatif e Tasooji" and the stories related to persia. you know that persia consisted of a lot of countries like Iran , Afghanestan , Pakistan, part of Iraq , Greece , India ,etc. it means that all the stories should happen in persia but i saw the movie without a word about persia. Shahrzad is an iranian (Persian) name like a lot of other names which used in this film. there was another parts in this film like Aladdin , who was living in Samarghand , but why should he , his mother and his princess live in china!!although the movie has such mistakes but i think it is a very enjoyable movie.
