Really cheesy but lots of fun, 7 February 1999
Author: Marta from United States

This is one of my guilty pleasures; everyone makes fun of me because I love this movie. Harry Hausen has been panned over this film, but I think he did a fantastic job. It's inventive and eye-catching.

Patrick Wayne is strong-jawed and stalwart as Sinbad, but Jane Seymour, as the princess, obviously hadn't paid for any acting lessons yet when she made this film. She's really bad in it, but great-looking. She beat Bo Derek by 4 years in starting the cornrow hairstyle. The biggest hoot in the movie is Margaret Whiting as the evil Queen. She's got an accent that won't quit; and she's a really good actress, which surprised me. Even when she turns herself into a seagull.

Don't expect rocket science when you watch this; just expect to be entertained.
