Rene Jordan El Nuevo Herald (Miami) A well-told little tale. [Full review in Spanish] Aug 16, 2023 Full Review Mike Massie Gone With The Twins The acting largely detracts from the swashbuckling premise, taking viewers out of the fantasy when clunky lines are prattled unenthusiastically. Rated: 3/10 Aug 31, 2020 Full Review Donald McLean Bay Area Reporter It's lightweight entertainment but enjoyable.

David W An inexplicably, unjustly and personally irritatingly maligned classic. The third installment of what I consider to be the true Sinbad trilogy (Seventh. Golden and this) and a very worthy, in my eyes, movie in its own right. In Wayne, the new Sinbad actor was again very well cast and Patrick Troughton as Melanthius was very memorable. There were wonderful and imaginative Harryhausen special effects and a stirring musical score. Despite the elapsed time gap the script was beautifully in sync with the feel of the previous movies and their lore. If I absolutely had to rank them in preference then it's probably my third favourite of the true Sinbad movies, that said its still a hugely worthy addition to what I consider to be the greatest trilogy of classic adventure fantasy movies ever made. I absolutely adore the classic Sinbad trilogy and consider them, along with Jason and the Argonauts and latterly their spiritual successor in Clash of the Titans (1981), to be the pinnacle of classic fantasy adventure movies. They were largely responsible for instilling my lifelong interest in and love of the fantasy genre and for that I am forever grateful to them. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/07/23 Full Review matthew r Before "The Lord of Rings" or other great fantasy films, there were the Sinbad films made with the magic of Ray Harryhausen. "Sinbad and the Eye of Tiger" is an epic voyage filled with thrills and adventure that take place in amazing settings. The acting, the animated creatures and the direction is more emotional and direct than previous Charles H Schneer productions. The movie probably is the most magical for 10 to 14 year-olds but is an amazing adventure that can be appreciated by all ages. It's right up there with "Jason and the Argonauts" in my book. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Liam D Despite a few changes it still keeps the same swashbuckling feel that the other Ray Harryhausen movies have Rated 3 out of 5 stars 12/03/22 Full Review jordan m I actually thought the leading man in this one was better than in either of the prior two, mostly because he looked much more like a pirate with his tan and the beard. Apparently real critics thought he wasn't very charismatic, but that played second fiddle to him looking the part for me. They seemed to change their format a little bit here in that there was stop-motion in the majority of the scenes without as much time wasted in between, but (perhaps as a result, or perhaps because of diminishing returns) the stop-motion and other effects were a lot less impressive this time around. They still weren't bad though, and I enjoyed watching this overall. P.S. there is a whole titty in this G-rated movie? Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member ♦️ This is a 'great' film. The amazing Jane Seymour! Ray Harryhausen inspired effects. ♦️ Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review serge e Cliched plot, lame special effects, and forgettable characters: not one I would recommend to fantasy lovers....
