Odelecol Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

ChanFamous I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

Rexanne It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

Caryl It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

mafletcher-09546 I am a fantasy fan and have seen the original movies of Sindbad. They were set in his later years and this show sets him in his outset as a pirate and adventurer, so I was open minded and intrigued to watch.However, by episode four of series one, I lost interest in the characters. In episode three one of the crew, who by now should have bonded as crew and seem to previously, robs the crew and runs for it, only later to be taken back on board. It is apparent as this series only ran for one season that what I am reviewing was on the minds of many watchers. Oh and its a BBC production, one of their worst, sadly I am a Brit.If you have no concept of Sinbad, have never watched a movie or read a book I imagine you could watch the whole series.

elfinspace23 Every now and again you find a gem.I sat down with my wife to watch this show not really knowing what to expect and immediately thought this could be good. The character build up was excellent leaving you knowing there was a bigger plot in amongst the smaller ongoing adventures.At first I thought the cast was a bit weak but once they developed you liked each and every one of them, along with the excellent plots the show takes you along on a riveting adventure.The CGI on the show throughout is of a top notch production and one wonders how they afforded it, all I can say is if you manage to come across this gem, sit down and let yourself be taken into a distant magical land, and enjoy. Oh and don't look to hard for the flaws or you will just ruin it for yourself like it seems previous reviewers have.

hAdi KhAbbAz indeed really a low level and cheap TV-series, I watched whole of it but episode after episode i was really disappointed !! :|Very very poor storyline and plot, poor acting, . . . Director !?!? Writer !??? Cast !?? Seriously !!! AWEFULLbut the graphic techniques & computer animations were OK !!original idea of this TV-seris was quite interesting and having lots of adventures . . . would attract lots of attention but with this directing and casting and playing !! that's a petty !!! ;\in my opinion, even a TV Channel wants to fill the air time shouldn't make things like that which really let viewers down and change their judgment about that channel for choosing it and watching it futureas the very last sequence of last episode, it made a spark and hope and kinda sound like it's gonna be continued and there will be another seasons but I strongly suggest to the this channel to NOT continue AT ALL this TV-seristhank

Thomas Blalock Scroll down if you just want to see a one line summary.I came to watch Sinbad with no idea what to expect, as I couldn't find a single proper review of it online. After having watched the first two episodes, I can say now, right of the bat, that I was both impressed and disappointed with the series. The cast chosen for the series intrigues me, and is one of the strongest features of the show, in my opinion. The ensemble cast is diverse, and quirky, from the tough and strong Norseman, to the gruff yet seemingly caring Cook, they all have something to bring to the show. The age old premise of Sinbad the Sailor, tried and true, brings much to the table as well. I loved seeing an adventure show with a good cast, and believable computer graphics brought to the table. The choreography and fight scenes, while a bit rough, are also quite impressive, bringing back the memory of "Hercules the Legendary Journey" without many of the cheesy and hackneyed fighting moves. The problems become apparent after that, however. The actors themselves are a bit rough; some of their actions and reactions just don't seem to fit the part. An example would be in the end of the second episode, where a giant Wyvern, carrying Sinbad, flies to the ship and drops him into the water. Personally, even in that world, a giant flying beast is some cause for concern or alarm. Not in Sinbad! "Oh look, a giant winged beast. It's carrying Sinbad? Oh, nothing to be alarmed about here, let's just cheer and celebrate, and dismiss the GIANT FLYING MONSTER altogether." This really makes the suspension of disbelief difficult to achieve. There is this disconnect between how I feel someone should react, and how the actors portray their characters in the series. The plot's themselves are also, thus far, nothing out of the ordinary. Episode one: Street urchin angers powerful prince, prince seeks revenge. See "Farscape, episode 1" for more information. Episode two: Crew encounters savages on island, who want to eat them for sustenance. There was a bit of a side plot going on their with the leader of the cannibals, but their actions and reactions also felt like they were railroaded into the plot, and forced into a nice neat box that they didn't quite fit in.TL;DRShow has major potential, decent graphics and choreography, but with hackneyed plots, and major shortfalls in acting, causing many of the scenes to seem forced and awkward. The cast was well chosen, but seems very inexperienced, having difficulty convincing me that the characters in the show are truly reacting properly to situations presented to them.
