Watch Ali Baba and the 40 thieves For Free

Powerful

It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

It's surprising for me but i honestly must give "10" to this french production.For 3 hours, i get stuck to my TV, gone a long time ago, in a far, far away ... land and having fun with all those characters! This Ali Baba gets us back into Irak around 9th century, greatly done with bright colors, beautiful houses and locations! The story is unspeakable but this is the proof of great storytelling: like the classic soap, there's a lot of back-stories which are all tangled altogether! You don't have the time to catch your breath! Regarding the cast, I admit a bias for Leila but the others are excellent.Some could argue the entire cast wasn't Arabic! Having Gugnot who is the symbolic native Frenchman as the lead actor would seem shocking! It's like having a white man playing MLK.In the same way, you don't hear or see Muslim beliefs but rather Christian faith! But i prefer to enjoy this fairy comedy as a great first steps to raise interest and understanding towards this civilization, so don't be a fool: DVD player, Open !
