It's certainly not the worst of DreamWorks, but I can see why it has been basically forgotten.

| Original Score: 3/10 | Mar 7, 2019

If the animation under the direction of Tim Johnson and Patrick Gilmore wasn't so compelling, you could just close your eyes and listen.

Despite the cool monsters, the cute slobbering dog and Catherine Zeta-Jones's swashbuckling Marina, "Sinbad" comes off as surprisingly unmagical, with characters you only half care about.

The quaintly hand-painted cityscapes of Syracuse are pretty. It would be nice if there was something going on in the foreground.

| Original Score: C | Sep 7, 2011

Fun, if standard, animated adventure with battles, innuendo.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 28, 2010

Despite its flaws, this is a fun well-acted piece of escapist fare with action, romance, adventure, and monsters galore.

| Apr 29, 2009

A visually exhilarating mix of hand-drawn and computer-generated images that sets sail with a rather mediocre and clichd script.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jul 16, 2005

As routine as many live-action adventure films, right down to the competent but fairly undistinguished art and animation.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jan 3, 2005

Handily outdoes [Treasure Planet], with bravura action set pieces, a surprisingly complex romantic triangle, and thoughtful exploration of moral issues and character.

| Original Score: B+ | Oct 15, 2004

While younger kids will enjoy the magic and adventure, the real mystery is whether older audiences will respond as well.

Even the voices of Brad Pitt, Michelle Pfeiffer and Catherine Zeta-Jones can't save this movie from just feeling "blah..."

| Original Score: C- | Oct 7, 2003

It's a decent summer distraction for restless little ones, but not much more.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 6, 2003

For all of its freedom of movement, the film lacks real personality, and in parts, it's oddly serious-minded.

| Aug 30, 2003

... entertains and fully exploits all the accomplishments DreamWorks' animation department has made to this point... "Sinbad" stands as an accomplishment all on its own.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Aug 18, 2003

Dreamworks animation has a lot to live up to after Shrek, but this wacky and high-spirited version of the Sinbad legend really isn't too bad.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 5, 2003

This is not the kind of movie that keeps our hopes alive for a successful return of the standard animated feature.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jul 29, 2003

If you drag a gang along to this one, be prepared to make amends with a trip to Pirates of the Caribbean.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jul 25, 2003

There's much to like here -- a gag-filled script, impressive visuals and Michelle Pfeiffer's classy villainess.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 22, 2003
