This movie is unbelievable. A huge amount of it is never explained. The view switches back and forth from the story to the two people who are reading it, but the two people somehow get tangled up in the story and change it. The fight scenes are incredibly dumb (punches over a foot away from the target still cause injury), and the special effects are stupid. The story has some sort of moral, too, about how important imagination is, but it isn't expressed very well.

The last finale fight scene, among other things, makes no sense. Sinbad is about to be defeated when the princess shows up and throws him a medallion. The medallion blinds his opponent and saves his life. Incidentally, his opponent (a "scary" masked dude) "died" twice earlier when he fell into some really fake lava, but he came back without explanation.

The ultimate evil guy always talks like he's about to suffocate, which makes it pretty hard to understand what he's saying.

The only really good part is when Sinbad's army defeats an enemy army and pursues them out of the city in a high-speed chase. All of a sudden, Sinbad's soldiers turn around and wiggle their butts at the retreating foes, chicken-dance style.

The ending is idiotic too, in true bad bad bad bad movie style. The two readers close the book, and the younger one walks away, then turns around. The old reader is waving at the young reader, then the young reader tries to tell the old one something but can’t say anything. Then something jumps out of the book and grabs the old reader, and the movie ends with a close-up shot of the young reader's nose. Inexplicable.

Rating: 2.5 turkeys.
