"Lou Ferrigno acted his heart out as Sinbad, representing not 1,
nor 2 but all 7 seas in this feel good movie of the decade. Sinbad makes
me love being a man. Especially when his man-boobs bounch Baywatch-esque
as he inexplicably runs away from undead pirates on an isle of mystery
and undead pirates. UNDEAD PIRATES! The CGI makes the Matrix look like
finger puppets. I don't want to give away too much, but yes, there is some
Sinbad on Sinbad action. Its hot and heavy, especially when Sinbad falls
in the molten lava. And the princess is soooo hot pre-teen boys could so
watch this at sleepovers after the parents fall asleep. And Sinbad is hot
too. Everybody's happy. Gotta go...outside." - R. Diehl
"This is a classic bad movie - the best I've ever seen. The whole
way through it I was on the floor busting my sides. Jaffar's insane overacting
and the sock puppet piranhas have to be seen to be believed." Sam

"Ferrigno is miscast, looking and acting too he-man for a literary
hero that was written to have a preference to work with his wits and acrobatics.
Here he lumbers around very awkwardly, almost visibly embarrassed by just
being there. His fight scenes are frequently shot in (very) slow motion,
and seeing his facial expressions in these scenes is unintentionally hilarious,
for he seems to be struggling with a stubborn bowel movement. Almost all
of his dialogue is unbelievably silly. Seeing him emoting to not just those
lines above, but lines like, "You're losing your power Jaffar! (Looking
into camera) And you know that!", "Gosh, you're beautiful!!",
and "Go back where you came from...you evil, filthy spirit!"
is twice as funny that any other actor could have done." Greywizard

"About halfway through the movie I began to wonder exactly what
the film's intended audience could have possibly been. The overacting and
ridiculous dialogue could have been forgivable if it had clearly been made
as a kids' movie, but then there were a couple of mild swears and some
scantily-dressed Amazon women that earned the film a PG-13 rating. The
only suitable audience for this amazing stinker is, really, the David J.
Parkers of the world. Actually, you don't even have to be a bad movie lover
per se to get a good evening's entertainment from Sinbad." Issachar

"One of my favorite comedies, although it's not supposed to be
one. So incredibly bad, it's amazing! Some of the stupidest dialogue ever,
and some ridiculous fight scenes. Lou Ferrigno is a joy to watch, especially
his hilarious facial expressions. Watch this movie with a bunch of friends,
but do not drink milk while doing so, otherwise it'll come spewing out
of your nose!" 2&2

"Set sail for a realm of magical adventure beyond your
wildest dreams!"
"To win the hand of his belowed Princess, young Prince Ali is charged
with recovering the egg of the mythical Roc. Joining forces with the swashbuckling
Sinbad (FERRIGNO), the Prince embarks with the legendary sailor on his
fabulous ship, crewed by such colorful characters as the Midget, the Viking
and the Samurai. Unfortunately, the evil wizard Jaffar is also smitten
with the fair Princess, and soon Sinbad and crew find tthemselves running
a gauntlet of supernatural creatures and outlandish ordeals - thet ultimately
end in a blazing final battle on the suface of the moon! Brimming with
movie-making magic, it's a journey into sheer story-telling enchantment!"

Comments
"This movie is one of the best bad movies I have ever seen, and
it easily out-funnies the original Deathstalker movie for the title of
best bad fantasy movie I have seen (so far). Considering how uproariously
bad Deathstalker was, this is no small feat. Yet Sinbad accomplishes this
and even makes it look easy. Lou Ferrigno plays the title role, and if
that isn't inspired casting I don't know what is." It's a Bad, Bad,

"Sinbad of the Seven Seas is a movie so terrible, it really deserves
my lowest star rating, perhaps less - but it is crammed with so many and
varied laughs at its own expense that I genuinely enjoyed it." At-A-Glance
Film Reviews - Read

"Probably the most entertaining aspect of the film is Ferrigno's
performance, which really is not much improved over when he played The
Incredible Hulk. I don't know how I ended up watching this, since I start
off watching sleazy Italian gore flicks, then went to post apoc flicks,
cheesy action flicks, and now a children's story with zero-gore and Power
Rangers-esque violence. Harmless, but still relatively a waste of time..."

"This is a delicious movie. It deserves its own web site, really.
No - its own domain! Think of it - people could have email addresses like
Poochie@Sinbadofthe7Seas.com! I'm glad I got a copy. I wish it was a ten-tape
mini-series." B. Simpson - Read

"This is one of the best bad movies ever made. Hilariously awful
from start to finish. I can't begin to do justice to the "plot".
If you ever have the urge to drink an entire six pack at one sitting, rent
this movie instead. You'll thank me. You get the same effect and only kill
half the brain cells." Scaarge
"An incredibly fun, incredibly bad movie. Definitely recommended
for any fans of bad cinema, this movie has it all. Plastic props, horrendous
dialogue, plot holes galore, sophomoric special effects. Lou Ferrigno (Hulk!)
throws his sword away and wrestles with bad guys, in sloooooow motion action
sequences that will have you yawning in anticipation." Kevin Smith

"See this if you like Lou Ferrigno (he still looks great and has
let his curly hair grow out Afro style) and/or sword and sandal pics -
just don't expect to be riveted to your seat." mde2 - Read

"When suitable casting for a Sinbad comes to mind one would think
producers would look for somebody lithe and acrobatic - an athlete - instead
we get bodybuilder Lou Ferrigno and a Sinbad that doesnt leap, bound and
twirl with a scimitar but rather wades through melee combat. It is a Sinbad
wholly lacking in grace. But then such lack of conviction extends to the
rest of the film - like the Japanese samurai who drops Confucian quotes
or the grating modern colloquialisms crash any attempt to create an atmosphere
of Arabian fantasy." Richard Scheib - Read

"It takes talent to make a good movie. You have to have good everything
to make it happen - actors, plot, script, directing, etc. It takes just
as much talent to screw up every single aspect of a movie, while trying
to do your best. This is exactly what "Sinbad" achieves. Cheesy
fights; awful, unnatural (ie, hilarious) dialogue; and poor acting all
combine to bring the word "appalling" to mind." jojoshthepi
"As for Ferrigno"s debacle, I can only agree that you need
a barf-bag to witness this desecration of the Sinbad legend. I would have
liked to have seen Ferrigno as Sinbad confronting the Old Man of the Sea,
who mounts his shoulders and puts a stranglehold around his neck and forces
him into servitude for a few days until Sinbad, near death and exhaustion,
intoxicates the old man with wine fermented from grapes and finally escapes
certain death. I would give anything to have a still/picture of that adventure
- Ferrigno, bodybuilder - carrying an old, frail-looking creature on his
shoulders!" Frank de laVina
