Review(s)


Great, Old-Time, Comical Fun (Rating: 4.00)
Review : This movie is a great flick, with the clean comedy of some older movies. Almost all the actors are great! Sinbad and his first mate are funny, and the "heroine" (which she is in the end) is well-acted. Worthwhile for anyone who likes clean fun, sword fights, and a bit of mystery and romance.

A REAL BLAST FROM THE PAST (Rating: 3.00)
Review : THIS IS WHAT ALL THE NEW GUYS TRY TO DO AND JUST CAN'T QUITE MEASUREUP TO. THIS IS WHY WE CALL THESE MOVIES "CLASSIC". THIS IS WHY THERE ARE NO MORE GREAT ACTORS AND ACTORS IN HOLLYWOOD TODAY. HOW CAN YOU EXPECT SOMEONE LIKE SEAN PENN OR BRAD PITT TO DO A MOVIE LIKE THIS AND DO ALL HIS OWN STUNTS? FACE IT, FOLKS, WHAT WE CALL ACTORS TODAY JUST DON'T COMPARE TO THE REAL THING FROME A FEW YEARS BACK. WHY DO YOU THINK THEY CALL IT "THOSE THRILLING DAYS OF YESTERYEAR?"

Colorful Escapism (Rating: 4.00)
Review : One of Douglas Fairbanks Jr.'s best films, "Sinbad the Sailor" (1947) is a lavish Technicolor adventure that resurrects the exuberance of his father's swashbuckling classics. The action sequences are worth the price of admission -- particularly Doug Jr.'s acrobatic escape from villain Anthony Quinn (who meets a rather fiery end). Fairbanks is perfect in the title role, with Quinn, Maureen O'Hara and Walter Slezak rounding out an excellent cast. Terrific fun for viewers of all ages!

Unintentionally amusing (Rating: 3.00)
Review : Leonard Maltin says that this is a tongue in cheek adventure flick. I think you could enjoy it today if you were, say twelve years old or younger. For more mature viewers, the film can be an unintentional howl. The overacting by Fairbanks is a hoot. Maureen O'Hara as a smouldering Moslem woman is hilarious. George Tobias, as the comic sidekick, is simply pathetic. Anthony Quinn as a heinous Arab villain and Walter Slezak as an Asian are ludicrous. In short, a lot of fun for juveniles and the sophisticated film goer.
