Good start, but then it gets ruined
It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.
View MoreOne of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
View MoreIt is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film
View MoreI really liked the fact, Brad Pitt was involved in this movie along with Catherine Zeta-Jones and of course, the beautiful Michelle Pfeiffer. You just have to laugh at this film even if some parts were more frightening then others. I never got around watching this movie until I saw this last night and was blown away!It was interesting to hear that there really was a man named Sinbad but I suppose, he wasn't as sleazy as the character in this movie. I say, he would've been a rather hard working pirate who had no time for nonsense and got on with his work as a boss of the ship. It's too bad Dreamworks aren't making any more 2-D films because the 3-D films aren't really that great and not easy enough to enjoy!
View Morea real, real good film. for the beautiful animation. for the smart manner for remind an old hero. for the science to be perfect choice for the kids but, in same measure, for the adults. for the large circle of nuances and emotions and drops of fairy tale, romance and fascinating fights, myth and moral values. for a credible Sinbad. and for the powerful flavor of childhood in right tone, with precise force. a film who explores all in a lovely manner. the result - it seduces in a special form . and that fact is its secret ingredient - to be a splendid breathtaking travel . one of animations who has a high level. for the original story. for the credible characters. and, sure, for the actors
View MoreBandit 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.
View MoreWhen I first saw Sinbad years ago, I thought this would be an animated ripoff of the Pirates of the Caribbean movie that came out. It turned out to be more decent than I thought this would be. They should have made a sequel to this movie because I would have enjoyed it.This is about some pirate who is blamed for stealing the Book of Life even though he didn't do it. His mission is to claim the book back from the Goddess Eris in Tartarus and save the life of the prince.The voice acting is quite pleasant. I was able to recognize the voices of Brad Pitt and Catherine Zeta-Jones.The animation is pretty good. It's not as breathtaking like some of today's animated films. But it's good enough.Overall, this is a decent, swashbuckling film. I would like to see a sequel but too bad. I rate this film 8/10.
