Sinbad

I found it entertaining. Good actors and good production values. Much better than the stop-motion B films of yesteryear. In a season when so much seemed recycled, this seemed a fresh take on Sinbad and a fun ride.

Ok I like fantasy. I have one major problem with this and that is Sinbad is not believable as Sinbad. He does not seem to really like girls but trying to act as though he does. Some points the acting is good but at others when he is supposed to be playing this masculine character its just not believable at all. Also I don't mind the extensions in his hair but his natural hair grows out and texture of beard is a sharp contrast to the hair extensions. This actor seems way too soft to play the part of Sinbad which kinda ruins it. Gunnar totally fits his role. Sinbad is just not believable and he is the main character. Seems like the actor is overreaching with this role. Cook was great. Rina good. And Anwar too. I'd just have to say Sinbad was the main problem. I wanted a more manly strong Sinbad. The stories were okay.

(Speaking to Clubber Lang, lol.) Anyway, watched the whole series over a short period of time and came to the conclusion that it kept me interested through all 12 episodes. It was apparent early on that this was not a high budget extravaganza, but that's okay isn't it? The shows improved through each episode, so if you can watch 2 or 3 to get warmed up, I think you'd enjoy them all, especially those nearer to the end of the season. I see that there is only 1 season, it didn't get renewed for a second for some reason. Luckily, the season ended on a suitable note that I didn't feel deprived of more shows. They did leave room for more storyline/another season, but it's not to be. Definitely recommend if you want to see something a little different. Also, be sure to watch the special feature on Malta, where the movie was made. I was completely surprised how many movies were made on that little island. The DVD collection of this show is completely worth just seeing that.

A half which is good for me! Reminds me of a mix of Black sails and Atlantis. Naveen Andrews from " the cleaning lady" is i it. Lol. I like shows like this! I wish there were more of them but I think I've exhausted them all! Sinbad is annoying ( as was the lead in atlantis and the guy in the supporting role in Black sails but none the less I liked this. I have like 2 episodes left. I'm on my way to google more similar stuff to see what else I can find! I love all king/gueen stuff but glad I didn't pay for the hollow crown! It was spoken in shakespearean language I couldn't take more than 10 minutes of them and i tried them all! Some great actors just couldn't stand the language,

Every now and again you find a gem.

I sat down with my wife to watch this show not really knowing what to expect and immediately thought this could be good. The character build up was excellent leaving you knowing there was a bigger plot in amongst the smaller ongoing adventures.

At first I thought the cast was a bit weak but once they developed you liked each and every one of them, along with the excellent plots the show takes you along on a riveting adventure.

The CGI on the show throughout is of a top notch production and one wonders how they afforded it, all I can say is if you manage to come across this gem, sit down and let yourself be taken into a distant magical land, and enjoy. Oh and don't look to hard for the flaws or you will just ruin it for yourself like it seems previous reviewers have.
