BroadcastChic Excellent, a Must See

Supelice Dreadfully Boring

Iseerphia All that we are seeing on the screen is happening with real people, real action sequences in the background, forcing the eye to watch as if we were there.

Rio Hayward All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

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.

TheLittleSongbird I watched Sinbad and the Minotaur with nothing else better to do, but while I was dubious of whether it would work it turned out to be worse than I expected. Production values-wise, it's a cheap-looking film, with costumes reminiscent of bad fancy dress, scenery that is not authentic at all and camera work that looks flat and rushed. I have seen worse effects in my lifetime, but although I do realise it was low-budget Sinbad and the Minotaur doesn't in my view look as though a lot of effort went into it. The minotaur has some menace but is too much of a giant bull rather than half-man/half-bull from mythology. The dialogue is terribly cheesy, but hilariously so at the same time, and while the idea was good the story was dull with no genuine thrills, imagination, fun and suspense and everything screams of being done before in adventure/fantasy films and better. The direction is sloppy, and the acting is pretty atrocious, with Manu Bennett having none of the charisma needed for the role of Sinbad. In fairness though, the characters are not interesting at all and have no life to them, the villain is especially flat. In conclusion, an awful film but if you watch it for novelty value you might get some enjoyment out of it. 1/10 Bethany Cox

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.

madammollyholly This movie is so horrible, it's hilarious! My friend and I watched this mainly because of Manu Bennett who plays Crixus in the show Spartacus. The acting was atrocious and slightly below the talent level of a group of third graders in their school play. But while it was utterly dreadful, it made my night! I was in hysterics throughout the whole entire movie. Words cannot describe how bad this movie is. You really have to see it to know what I'm talking about. If you want a good laugh, you should give this movie a go. It's about an hour and a half long, but I have a feeling that half of that was filler because they repeated themselves so often. It was either to give the movie some length or to recap what's been happening in case you weren't paying attention ten minutes ago. I don't think this constitutes as a spoiler, but I'll check the box in case; Sinbad has a catchphrase. "Details!"
