So much average
Just perfect...
I wanted to but couldn't!
I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.
So the film would lead you to believe. Mr. Poe's actual story bears little to no similarities to this tale, but the fact that it opens with the claim that it is based on his story is just part of the inane fun that is SINBAD OF THE SEVEN SEAS! This is a film so poorly written, acted, directed, and conceived, with horrible dubbing that it takes on an air of the absurd. If you are not laughing at the film at some point, you must not have a good sense of humor. Fun fact, the short story Edgar Allen Poe actually wrote, "The Thousand and Second Tale of Scheherazade," is an amusing story(far better than this movie) in which Scheherazade tells of Sinbad's last adventure in which real things from an outsiders perspective are described, but not believed by the King.The Story: Sinbad returns home to find that the evil Jaffar has rested control of the kingdom with his sorcery and brought an age of darkness. Sinbad and his intrepid crew must find the four magic gems that will return peace to the land and save the princess.Three out of ten stars for the film(I've sadly seen worse) and nine out of ten for unintentional humor.
Sinbad must recover five magical stones to free the city of Basra from the evil spell cast by a wizard. His journey takes him to the isle of the Amazons where the queen tries to capture him, to a battle with ghost warriors on the isle of the dead, and ultimately to a battle with his own double.....You know your in good company when the Cannon group logo appears for a film, and much like every film released by them, good or bad, you know what you are going to get, thanks to the title, and knowing that the only actor in this film you have heard of is Ferrigno.Yes, the film is all kinds if bad, from the script, to the choreography, the awful acting and overacting of the cast, its a poor film.But it's never boring, not for one minute.When Sinbad escapes from a dungeon using deadly snakes as a rope, you give up all hope of watching a movie in the vein of the Harryhausen classics, and settle for men in very bad costumes.Ferrigno, buff as he is, has no screen presence whatsoever. His lines are delivered flatly, and he has the same look on his face throughout the whole movie. His little speech to the animatronic, or finger puppet reptiles, is the single most funniest part of the film.And I've not even mentioned the rock monster who tries to kill our hero by hugging him.So, now we know, and probably the studio also knew that Ferrigno is the cheap Schwarzeneggar, who's great idea was it to have him fight himself at the end? Even though I hadn't eaten all day, I felt stuffed at the end of this epic battle because of all the ham on screen.Jafar has to be seen to be believed, he is brilliant because he is so over the top, but its impossible to describe his part.All in all its a terrible film, but any aspiring filmmaker needs to see it, so you never make the same mistake..
When you insert Sinbad of the Seven Seas in your VCR its like stepping into a world of swash-buckling, sword fighting, man-boob bouncing action. Lou Ferrigno doesn't just recite lines, he executes them with precision and emotion...just like he executes the skeleton pirates...and rock monsters...and amazon women...and goopy jello ogres. I don't want to ruin the M.Night Shamalalala-esqe conclusion, but there is some hot Sinbad on Sinbad action. Especially when he falls in the lava. The princess is really hot...I'd do her.About a dozen rubber snakes and a midget named Poochie were injured during the making of this movie.
Just like The Archer: Fugitive from the Empire, the last time I saw this film is like 7 or 8 years ago. I didn't even remember seeing it, but when I spoke to my brother about The Archer last time, he said: Yes that was a great B movie, just as Sinbad of the Seven Seas with Lou Ferrigno.' I was like: WHAT FILM?' Then he told me all about the zombies and the scene when Sinbad squished one of the zombies hearts with his bare hands and I was like: Was that the movie when he rips off an arm off one of the zombies?' He said YEP' and I remembered. That film was really good. I mean I do not remember many films for such a long time without having seen them, after that. The only 4 films I can recollect pretty good are this one, The Archer, The Temple of Doom and Tarantula. The latter two because well, The Temple of Doom gave me nightmares and Tarantula scared the living crap out of me. Anyway I'm wandering off here. Great trash flick this one.8 out of 10
