The 7 Adventures of Sinbad (2010)

The Worst Film Ever

Strong and Moving!

People are voting emotionally.

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

This movies is hilarious - I was laughing most of the time. It's really good in being bad - pretty much like Tarantino's spoofs of B-rated horror movies, only in adventure genre. And I'm quit sure it's a spoof, these people can't be serious. My favorite part was Sindbad about to go inside volcano for stones and Loa asks him "Do you need anything else?" He doesn't say a word, just reaches out and kisses her, so perfectly cheesy - it's unbelievable. There are zombies, long-lost father, rogue sailors, giant octopuses and even Somali pirates! And everything is done with serious faces and emotions worthy of Twilight Zone (and yes, special effects are just as cheap). Well done!

I really think the voting system ought to allow negative scores, just to counter some of the positives given by people clearly connected with the film - either on the production side or acting side.I guess I'm referring to Mr. "joemorph from United States" who wrote a ridiculously long and praising review that was clearly aimed at him getting some of his investment back.Hard luck Mr. joemorph from USA. This film is appalling.Even worse than the film was the acting of the lead actor. Apart from the ridiculous "crab" scene where he had a little tantrum, his face rarely broke into a smile, a frown, or gave any other indication of what he was feeling other than a look that said "I don't believe I'm in such a pathetic film".

Here's a Sinbad clearly modeled after Robert Downey Jr.'s Tony Stark; a wealthy corporate honcho, sans super armor suit, who finds himself lost on an island filled with giant creatures that really don't do much of anything.Then, later, it turns into a kind of military rebel movie, with some unexciting pit fighting overseen by a Dan Haggerty-looking dude who appears to have been pulled out of a crack house and given a few lines to read. He dies, but you won't care, because you really won't understand why he was in this thing in the first place.The creatures really don't do much more than Harryhausen's did 50 years ago, which is to blink their eyes and growl a lot. But they are occasionally impressive, especially the flying dragon-type things that eat one guy but are apparently frightened away by sharpened sticks and thrown pebbles. However, the devilish monster protecting some mystical volcano stones looks like a heavy metal LP cover come to badly animated life.Oh, and the stones: They hold the secret to escaping the island; which is to say, they can get really hot, for no apparent reason. So, Sinbad uses them to create steam and power a hot-air balloon and fly away. Why, I don't know, FIRE would have worked just as well demands a suspension of my disbelief this movie didn't work hard enough to accomplish.The last third of the movie is so incomprehensible, it's quite likely it was written and directed by someone who speaks no English at all, and who was sniffing glue. It has something to do with a giant squid, Sinbad in a submarine, a bad guy clearly inspired by Jeff Bridges' villain in "Iron Man," poorly rendered tornadoes, an earthquake scene the producers lifted from one of Asylum's dopey disaster movies, and, just for kicks and giggles, Armageddon.Worth the couple of bucks I paid for it, for the few laughs I got at its expense. Only fools and Dan Haggerty would pay more.

I have seen good movies, bad movies, bad movies that become cult movies and then sadly a few like this where if I had the sense of a dead cat I would have stopped watching.The only good thing was that the design of one of the monsters (bird type things) was quite good - everything else was BAD BAD BAD ...No plot - well at least nothing that made sense. Characters - were as wooden and predictable as it would be possible to imagine. Special effects - on the whole plain bad. Acting - there were real tears from one of the actors - I think it was because they realised that once this turkey was released they would never work again.I can't go on even remembering this movie (which I only finished watching ten minutes ago) as it's causing irreparable brain damage.WATCH ANYTHING ELSE!!!
