The film deals with the story of Sinbad and his crew, where Sinbad is tracked by the creator of the monster who can practice dark magic. Things seem quite difficult since this monster has the ability to do anything due to a golden disc. In those moments, Sinbad comes through the minister who keeps the rest of the golden map and gets a new journey distinctive.
An Arabian Nightish saga told with some briskness and opulence for the childish eye, yet ultimately falling short of implied promise as an adventure spree.
Particularly memorable are the walking figurehead, the hideous centaur and the multi-armed statue that tests Sinbad's swordfighting skills to the maximum.
Harryhausen's most touching work is done in the quiet, beguiling scene in which the villainous wizard patiently breathes life into a tiny gargoyle, a concise ode to the divine qualities of the craftsman's art
Sinbad is light, silly fun, and kids will probably appreciate both the skillful technique of the fantasy and the fact that the film makers have had the good sense not to include a single -- yecchh! -- kissing scene.
