    Softwing Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??
    Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
    Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
    Bea Swanson This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.
    Verine This series was one of three adventure series that I watched when I was a child, besides Xena and Hercules. The first season was lighter. I was fallen for this series, as soon as I had watched the first episode. The casts were talented, except Maeve, who has so-so acting skill. However, Sinbad and her have kind of dynamic and interesting relationship. I agree that they had great chemistry, even they only kissed once and the rest was just "eyes communication".The second season, just like the first season, also has great potential. I'm not Maeve fan, so I still followed this season. However, unfortunately, I lost the feeling that I had gotten in first season. Bryn's acting skill was much better than Maeve, but Sinbad and her didn't have such a chemistry as the previous cast. This season was darker but it was not interesting anymore. This season, obviously, had a huge hole in the storyline, if you try to connect its story with the end of the first season. Maeve's departure was such a big loss for this series. Most of my favorite quotes ever from this series came from the first season. Personally, I prefer the first season and based from the series rating, I believe most audiences agree with me.Of course, this series has some weakness. The special effect, the setting, and some of the plot stories were ridiculous and just kept repeating. Sinbad kissed almost all of the females cast so it kinda boring. But then, I wouldn't expect more from this series in 1996. I won't compare it with 'high-quality story or expensive special effect' series, but this series still good to watch. Anyway, the Maeve theme song (which was played in most of Sinbad-Maeve scenes) was so memorable, and I still remember it until now.
    casioSL I liked the cute, charming 1st season, but if the show had been canceled after that season, then I wouldn't have given the Adventures of Sinbad another thought. It was the slightly darker, more adult 2nd season and the addition of Bryn that made this a show that I still miss more than 10 years after it was prematurely ended due to internal politics. Season 3 was set to go until the new production company pulled the plug at the last minute.I enjoyed Season 2 more because Sinbad was more mature and therefore more believable as the captain of the Nomad that season. Although I thought he was adorable in Season 1, he was too much like a little boy playing dress up that season.Bryn was a better fit in Season 2 because the actress playing Bryn was a better, more believable fighter, which fit in better with the darker tone of that Season. Also, the actress did a good job in peaking my curiosity about her character's background. I was really looking forward to seeing how her storyline played out over the years.I just recently read Ed Naha's plans for Season 3 and believe that it would have been even better than Season 2 because he and Zen Gesner (Sinbad) had discussed how they were going to take the best of Season 1 and combine it with the best of Season 2. This in included bringing back Rumina, her father, Turok and Dim Dim.
    elisiss-shaorin I for one love the first season. Maeve and Sinbad were so adorable.Too bad their romantic scenes together were very few. Well, I guess thats what kept me watching just to see their love slowly grow. Their romance wasn't too mushy or draggy. It could have used at least two more kissing scenes and much more hugging ones. Not so much that they are always all over each other. I was just extremely disappointed about not being able to see Maeve and Sinbad together in the 2nd season. I was expecting more development in their character as well as their romance. :(Yes the special effects and fighting were very cheesy, but the story and cast did a great job. I watched a bit of the 2nd series and it was a dramatic change to Sinbad, and then they added Bryn. Bryn was alright, but just couldn't compare to Maeve. I just couldn't ever finish the 2nd season. I was still too hooked on Sinbad x Maeve as a couple. Yes, I'm hopeless romantic and darn proud of it.I agreed with some of the comment about there being several other seasons (least 5). They had so much they could have done to the series. They could have made it great. Some quote from the series: Sinbad: "The way I look at it, this world is growing a little too civilized for me. It's growing up. Growing serious. Growing dull. But out there who knows what worlds await." Maeve: What do you want me to do? You can't just point your finger at the thing and yell 'stop' and it stops! giant freezes Sinbad: Nice work. Maeve: Oh, well maybe you can.
    DaniGrl All I have to say is that I felt this show was boring. Half the time the women were falling out of their clothes. Instead of Sinbad being a nice guy they changed him to a not so nice guy, me and a few friends felt that he was not a good role modal for our children and did not let them watch the show any more. The show is no longer on and I say thats great!
