Critics Consensus

Competent, but not magical.

If the animation under the direction of Tim Johnson and Patrick Gilmore wasn't so compelling, you could just close your eyes and listen.

Despite the cool monsters, the cute slobbering dog and Catherine Zeta-Jones's swashbuckling Marina, "Sinbad" comes off as surprisingly unmagical, with characters you only half care about.

It's certainly not the worst of DreamWorks, but I can see why it has been basically forgotten.

Rated: 3/10

The Spectator

The quaintly hand-painted cityscapes of Syracuse are pretty. It would be nice if there was something going on in the foreground.

Cinema Crazed

Despite its flaws, this is a fun well-acted piece of escapist fare with action, romance, adventure, and monsters galore.

A Hidden Gem Dreamworks Classic. It's pretty solid all around. This moves at a very fast pace, easy to follow, and pretty easy to get into. What trips this up from standing with the best is the adventure can feel like stuff just happens (some cooler than others) just for the sake of creative unique things at the start and middle of the adventure. And Sinbad & Marina can be a bit hit or miss together. Especially when they start out together just fighting like a old married couple isn very annoying and it's hard to like either of them for quite a while. So it does buckle quite a bit in the middle. While the hand drawn aspects look great, the CGI is kind of hit or miss. Also, some of the weird jokes about woman can't drive and aren't as good feel so weird and out of place and kind of bad taste that doesn't fit with the world. another issue outside of those 2 the supporting cast of crew mates are very forgettable. The villian is solid and probably the best thing about this with the solid sountrack. Her design is awesome and I wish there was more of her in this. It's nothing that you haven't seen before overall done better but it does recover in the 2nd half quite a bit getting more focused, more of the villian, and they stop being annoying and with the out of place lines. It reminds me a bit of Treasure Planet actually now that I think about it. Anyone who is a fan of any actors in this, Dreamworks, Sinbad, or animated adventures should give this a try.
