    [**Potential Spoilers**] All I can say is--wow. What a bad movie. I've loved the "Arabian Nights" stories and adored the legend of Sinbad. This animated version wasn't at all close to it. Sinbad litterally looks like he's Italian in this movie and Brad Pitt didn't make him any better with his non-piratelike voice. It was simply unbearable. Plus the plot which could';ve been nice and complex was filled with a predictable plot, cliches, and some obvious things (if that evil goddess is oh-so-powerful, can't she just kill Sinbad and co. in a second? Oh no...she has to set monsters on them. Great...) Including one of the most overused cliches all time: a spunky woman who joins the hero on his journey and what do they do--fall in love! Wow, never saw that coming... The action wasn't the least bit suspenseful and there wasn't a single character that was my "favorite" .Do me a favor, and avoid it at all costs. Moms and dads, you do the same for your kids. Why not go see Nemo instead? Now THAT'S a real legend of the seven seas compared to this piece o' crap.… Expand

    (***) I have to 1st admit Michelle Pfeiffer, along with Meg Ryan are my top 2 fav. ladies in cinema today. Thats main reason for me reviewing this 1. & Ironically it was Meg & DW back in '97 with "Anastasia" also good-***) That also were among 1st to challenge "MT. DISNEY!" Though this is a nice lil' animated-feature anyway & will certainly be up against the Pixar masterpice "F. Nemo," come OSCAR time!? But has NO-CHANCE of winning over that wondrous beauty. Speaking of beauty, I think the filmmakers of this 1, shoulda' left Pfeiffer's long flowing hair blonde, as opposed to black as it is in the flick. Although she did look hot in "Married to the Mob" with black-hair? She has a voice thats perfectly-pitched, though no singing this time 4-her. & cast to perfection as "A Goddess!" B. Pitt & new OSCAR winner: *Catherine Zeta-Jones also do-well here. This is currently being squashed by summer B.O. competition. But it's still a nice family-film & early on, "Sinbad," even has some "Matrix," type of fighting skills thrown-in. It's just not great like the other forementioned & Instant "classic" from Pixar! Ironically the 2 best flix of this summer to date & for me anyway, are both virtually just cartoons?… Expand

    Energetic and fast paced family film, very well animated and entertaining. Enjoyable for both children and adults. Fine story, colorful and well made.

    The animation is far superior than Disney! Its the best animation on the human form,they actually care about acting and motion and the drawings, none of that Disney, shoot them out quick to make a buck!

    It makes not just the "Thief of Baghdad" and the junky Ray Harryhausen movies of the '60s and '70s but even Disney's recent "Aladdin" seem positively multicultural by comparison.

    The voices were chosen more for their big name appeal than for their ability to bring life to the drawings. The storyline is flat, linear, and shallow.

    Neither sinful nor particularly bad, the movie nonetheless diverts us when it should transport us. Its heroes' hearts may lie out at sea, but its soul never leaves dry land.
