Sinbad is light, silly fun, and kids will probably appreciate both the skillful technique of the fantasy and the fact that the film makers have had the good sense not to include a single -- yecchh! -- kissing scene.

[Its] main raison d'etre is some first-rate "Dynamation" special effects from Ray Harryhausen.

The magnitude of the creatures and combat are unfortunately unable to match the first film, though this indirect sequel is still a highly entertaining production.

One of my all time favourite adventure fantasy movies. The cast are great. Caroline Monro is in full effect as possibly one of the most beautiful woman to have ever walked the earth and is perfect in the role. Tom Baker is as magnetically entertaining as always and John Phillip Law makes for a fantastic Sinbad. Ray Harryhausens special effects always bring a massive smile of happiness to my heart and remind me of my childhood. There's simply nothing that I don't love about this. Like wrapping myself in a wonderful theatrical blanket and sailing off to the seas of my youth. One of the truly great classic adventure fantasy films.

This one was less impressive than 7th Voyage had been, mostly because there weren't any apparent advances in Harryhausen's technique despite the 16 year difference in release date. The story was less compelling this time but still served its purpose of stringing the stop motion together without being boring about it. I remain thoroughly surprised that they got away with so revealing a costume on the girl with this being G-rated and all that. The ship siren was the highlight of the movie for me and was perhaps better than any of the stop-motion sequences in 7th Voyage.

A fairy tale full with charm, adventure and the power of passionate filmmaking. Not flawless, but full of imagination and my favourite movie of all time. Ray Harryhausen was a master of his craft and though you see that his creations are puppets, they feel alive, which I cannot say about a lot of CGI-animated creatures that dominate the big screen today.

In some ways this was more enjoyable than The 7th Voyage of Sinbad. Harryhausen' work is the centerpiece, of course. Hall delivers a fairly charismatic performance as our hero and Munro makes for a stunning love interest.
