This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.

a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

I liked the cute, charming 1st season, but if the show had been canceled after that season, then I wouldn't have given the Adventures of Sinbad another thought. It was the slightly darker, more adult 2nd season and the addition of Bryn that made this a show that I still miss more than 10 years after it was prematurely ended due to internal politics. Season 3 was set to go until the new production company pulled the plug at the last minute.I enjoyed Season 2 more because Sinbad was more mature and therefore more believable as the captain of the Nomad that season. Although I thought he was adorable in Season 1, he was too much like a little boy playing dress up that season.Bryn was a better fit in Season 2 because the actress playing Bryn was a better, more believable fighter, which fit in better with the darker tone of that Season. Also, the actress did a good job in peaking my curiosity about her character's background. I was really looking forward to seeing how her storyline played out over the years.I just recently read Ed Naha's plans for Season 3 and believe that it would have been even better than Season 2 because he and Zen Gesner (Sinbad) had discussed how they were going to take the best of Season 1 and combine it with the best of Season 2. This in included bringing back Rumina, her father, Turok and Dim Dim.

I for one love the first season. Maeve and Sinbad were so adorable.Too bad their romantic scenes together were very few. Well, I guess thats what kept me watching just to see their love slowly grow. Their romance wasn't too mushy or draggy. It could have used at least two more kissing scenes and much more hugging ones. Not so much that they are always all over each other. I was just extremely disappointed about not being able to see Maeve and Sinbad together in the 2nd season. I was expecting more development in their character as well as their romance. :(Yes the special effects and fighting were very cheesy, but the story and cast did a great job. I watched a bit of the 2nd series and it was a dramatic change to Sinbad, and then they added Bryn. Bryn was alright, but just couldn't compare to Maeve. I just couldn't ever finish the 2nd season. I was still too hooked on Sinbad x Maeve as a couple. Yes, I'm hopeless romantic and darn proud of it.I agreed with some of the comment about there being several other seasons (least 5). They had so much they could have done to the series. They could have made it great. Some quote from the series: Sinbad: "The way I look at it, this world is growing a little too civilized for me. It's growing up. Growing serious. Growing dull. But out there who knows what worlds await." Maeve: What do you want me to do? You can't just point your finger at the thing and yell 'stop' and it stops! giant freezes Sinbad: Nice work. Maeve: Oh, well maybe you can.

This is one of those shows that you love, but the only people you tell are your best friends. It was funny, adventurous, exciting, and had terrific cast. It was sad when Maeve left the show, because everything went downhill from there. One thing I loved was the way the special effects resembled the old Sinbad movies. This was a highly underated TV program. If it ever comes on in syndication, I suggest everyone watch at least one episode (preferably from season one).

The Adventures of Sinbad aired for two seasons. Both were excellent. The first season was unique and family friendly, the second season was less so.The darker changes came about, partially due to trying to un-Disney-fy it, mostly due to the change of producing companies who wanted something "sexier", more like Xena and Hercules. The problem was fans didn't want another Xena or Hercules type show. Some liked the new changes, others didn't, many of those others left. However, AoS still got hyped (word of mouth) as being a friendly family show, because that's (mostly) what it was first season and that's what people expected it to be during the second season, which it really wasn't, though it did keep most of its audience.Last thoughts: It was well casted and well acted. The chemistry of the cast on-screen was *great* and their easy nature carried across to the audience. The good guys were good, the bad guys were also good. The special effects only got better as the series went on.I found the show to be a rare and unique treasure among all the shows out there, but more importantly it was even more so within its own genre.
