Sjoerd Jonker Sinbad is a stunning-looking animation film of a man with a 'heart of gold' that has to make an incredible journey across the sea and has to face many demons along the way to retrieve the Book of Peace in order to save his friend from the past. Overall I think it is an OK film, but there is a lot of confusing during the story and it get very complicated later on. The film starts of with Sinbad, that is about to raid a royal ship that carries an important relic 'the Book of Peace'. However he finds out that the captain of that royal ship is prince Proteus, who is also a dear friend from the past. Then a sea demon shows up send by Eris a Goddess from the Greek mythology(she actually does not really fits in the world of Sinbad since he is from a persian culture, anyway minor complaint) and starts to intervene. Then Sinbad and Proteus defeats the monster together, but last-minute Sinbad fall overboard during the process. Then a meeting is set up by Eris and frankly this where all the confusion starts. You see, Eris wants Sinbad to steal the Book of Peace for her and despite the odd timing this whole meeting makes no sense in the end, because we later see how she steals the Book of Peace all by herself including taking out a royal guard, without the help of a mortal, even though she lives in another world. This means she can intervene in both worlds directly, but the film does not explain anything of that. The film also does not explain how important the Book of Peace really is. All we see is that the sky is growing dark and that is it. In other words: The only reason why we have this conflict in the first place is because Eris plays with her food. We know this, because she can kill the heir of the throne any time she likes, since she also can kill a guard of the royal palace, during the scene where she steals the book. A prince is no difference. However this does not happen. All in all this whole conflict with Eris just isn't that appealing, because she barely tries to win.Another thing that I really find disturbing is the love triangle. As the film goes one, we see how Sinbad gets all the blame for stealing the holy book, which he denies. Therefore the judge of Syracuse sentence him to die, because they found prove, wich is Eris doing. Then suddenly Proteus takes his place in order to proof Sinbad that he is willing to sail across the sea to return the book even though it is a long time ago since they were together. Suprizingly the people of Syracuse try very little to prevent his execution. Proteus's choice simply got approved. It is also very strange to see how light Proteus and the people reacted after Sinbad's return literally seconds away from execution. Anyway Marina manages to get on Sinbad's ship unnoticed in order to make sure he really does sail for the book. Oh, and nobody in Syracuse finds it odd that the fiancé of the prince is missing, just an interesting detail to notice.. At any rate Marina convinces Sinbad to sail for the book with pay ofcourse. As the days are passing by she falls in love with Sinbad and in the end she choses him instead of Proteus even though she barely knows the guy. Sinbad only won her over with a compliment after saving her from a giant icebird. The worst part of this is that Proteus did nothing truly terrible to Marina. What this film tries to tell you is: Where would you rather be, instead of with whom would you rather be. Marina choses Sinbad because she enjoys life more at sea rather than living in a palace, but when it comes to love we all know that should not matter, because you are with the one you love no matter the place.In conclusion, Sinbad is although a stunning experience to witness a illogical mess of a film and that has mainly to do with the confusing plot and because of the unappealing love triangle. The characters are OK, but I can't say there is a lot of development putted in them. A rather dissappointing film by DreamWorks.

Kirpianuscus nice. and this is the basic virtue of any animation. because the story could be surprising only for the details and the voices are the only clue for define interesting characters and the adventures are crumbs from same type many another films. short, the noble friend, the thief who becomes hero, the love as the necessary spice, a bad girl who seems be the most important motif to see the film. and, sure, perfect actors to give soul to the characters. it is not easy to define Sinbad as a great animation. but it represents pure entertainment. and this is the only thing who could be considered important. because , maybe, it is a good opportunity to remind the old stories about the legendary travels of the lead hero.

lisafordeay Sinbad Legend Of The Seven Seas is a 2003 animated movie from Dreamworks Animation and tells the tale of the swashbuckling thief Sinbad(voiced by Brad Pitt who I swear looks like Eugene Fitzherbert from Tangled)who is framed for stealing the book of piece,but Arias(voiced by Michelle Phieffer)pretended to be him so that he can be framed for doing it. Of course Sinbad's buddy (voiced by Joseph Fiennes) knows that Sinbad will never steal the book of piece so he decides to free Sinbad so that he can get the book of piece off Arias. Problems arises however when Sinbad falls for his buddies fiancé named Mariana(voiced by Catherine Zeta Jones) who joins Sinbad on his quest to find the book of piece.Overall I found this film entertaining,its got great animation,the voice cast was good even though you know its an actor behind a microphone but still all animated movies have well known actors in them from Eddie Murphy to Ben Stiller etc. The story is nice too and the backgrounds look great. The film is like a cartoon version of Pirates of the Caribbean and the charcther design for Sinbad is like a carbon copy of Eugene Fitzherbert from Tangled despite the fact Sinbad was made in 2003 while Tangled was released in 2010. Yeah I mention Tangled a lot in my reviews apologizes for that but hey if you are looking for a fun swashbuckling adventure movie with great action and charcthers Sinbad Legend Of The Seven Seas isn't a bad movie to watch check it out and see what you think of it.

Ali Catterall All set to steer a course for Fiji, the immoral Arabian sailor Sinbad (Pitt) is waylaid by Eris, Goddess of Chaos (Pfeiffer), and framed for stealing the priceless 'Book of Peace' - which she has squirreled away in her hellish domain of Tartarus. Or, as Sinbad puts it: "I meet Eris, she's got a major crush on me - and she's invited me back to her place." Sinbad and crew have just 10 days to retrieve the book or former childhood pal and heir to the throne of Syracuse, the noble Prince Proteus (Fiennes), will be executed in his place.Joining the not-so-happy band is Marina (Zeta-Jones), Proteus' betrothed, principally there to ensure our anti-hero fulfils his mission to the ends of the Earth and beyond. However, she soon proves herself more than a match for Sinbad, along with the mythological monsters - including seductive sirens and a murderous Roc bird - the mischievous Goddess has placed in their path.For those nursing fond childhood memories of Ray Harryhausen's 'Dynamation' flicks, Dreamworks' take on the sailor man may come as something of a let-down. Certainly, it sunk with barely a ripple Stateside, the third major 2-D animated feature to do so after The Road To El Dorado and Treasure Planet. And Sinbad does look rather flat at times, despite some ingenious blending of traditional artwork and CGI, especially 'when Sirens attack'.Yet the 'adult-accommodating' Rat Pack-style wisecracks between the curiously camp shipmates ("Get a shirt on before you poke someone's eye out!" Sinbad admonishes his large-nippled helmsman) become tiresome pretty quickly. However, well-developed character relationships - the tumultuous pair-off between Marina and the eponymous rogue in particular - just about elevates this one above formula.The noticeable lack of a histrionic Phil Collins or Elton John ballad also helps, while Pfeiffer, in full-on Catwoman mode, is a treat, bringing to the role her unsurpassed mix of exquisite evil and playful sexuality. The ending, unexpected and surprisingly moving, may even have you surreptitiously wiping a little tear away.
