 slant // magazine.com: Film Review - Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas
Sinbad learns a host of lessons from his quest (such as the importance of loyalty, teamwork, selflessness, and responsibility) while Marina shows her man that anything he can do, she can do better.
The filmmakers' only unique brush strokes involve a certain immature crassness—a naked butt shot of Sinbad is employed to garner chuckles; a dog puke joke is inserted as a nod to pre-teens' obsession with bodily functions.
Kids with a hankering for high seas escapades would be better served skipping this twaddle and checking out Ray Harryhausen's infinitely more exiting and imaginative The 7th Voyage of Sinbad.
