Paul Magne Haakonsen You know what you are getting with this movie, so don't set your expectations up too high.This is one of those type of movies that were made with all the right intentions, but faltered under horrible CGI effects. If you enjoy fantasy and mythical adventures, then you might find some enjoyment in "Sinbad and the Minotaur", just prepare to ward your eyes away from some gut-wrenching abysmal CGI effects.Story-wise, then "Sinbad and the Minotaur" is straight forward and very easy to follow. It is a fast paced movie, and that worked well in favor of the movie. And the action sequences were actually quite alright as well.As for the acting, well, it was adequate but nothing outstanding or memorable. And it was a shame that they didn't have any famous actors or actresses to star in the movie in order to lift up the standards.There are far better fantasy movies out there, and "Sinbad and the Minotaur" wasn't memorable enough to stand out in the genre.
baius If this can review can possibly dissuade you from watching this film, I will have improved your life!For every movie I have ever watched, up till this one, I have been able to find something I like about it.I know I wouldn't make much of a movie critic - but I don't care. I set out to enjoy my film-watching, and find this easier by looking for the positive in films.With this attitude, I started to watch this film. Manu Bennett, who plays Sinbad, was the lead. I have liked previous stuff of His, so I was definitely optimistic.This film is awful. Why?-> The actors put in no visible effort at all.-> The camera-work and props were disgraceful, barely more than people running through forest/caves.-> Female casting seems to have been decided on cup-size. This was so blatant that, even as a typical male, this annoyed me.-> There is a "monster" in this film: I think it's two people inside a horse - no really.-> The plot lacks continuity. Hardly any scene changes produce a cohesive whole.-> Supernatural elements to this film are ludicrously far-fetched, badly-thought out in relation to any "plot" and generally bring the film down yet further.If I stopped and thought for longer, other undesirables might come to mind. However, having typed this immediately after watching the film, I now wish to try and forget the experience ever happened.
grannylove52 Compared to the Sinbad movies I watched when I was younger this one is totally boring. Not much of a plot and the acting and action parts were not very good. I think that trying to make more Sinbad movies is alright but they need to use better graphics and get better actors. The creatures were obviously fake and not very entertaining. The bad guy is such an obvious phony. If I could compare it to maybe the Mummy movies or even Pirates of the Caribbean or Indiana Jones. This movie does not even come close to being as good as them. The SFX in this movie cannot compare with some of the other adventure movies out on the market right now. It was a good try, but didn't even come close to the other movies. Slightly entertaining and helped to kill time, nothing else to do but watch it until I was ready to watch the other movie I will be watching later.
ronunsworth If they spent more than $100 making this they were robbed. The script is awful, the acting abysmal and the sets hilarious. My advice, don't waste valuable time watching this tripe. I cant honestly think of anything that was worth while watching. It is supposed to be based on the myth of the Minotaur, but the lead actor is so bad at acting. I have to mention the Kiwi accent of the male star that it's hard to take anything seriously right from the start. I'm surprised that SyFy channel even bothered to air this. Even the props were funny, but most of all was the plot. I've never sat through so much trash in all my life.
