    Sinbad sets out to find his destiny on the sea, encountering menaces that would make Ray Harry­hausen proud.

    It's not as well-written or accomplished as Syfy's Merlin, but it's a lot of fun for the whole family.

    It’s still a basically good-hearted guy against a mean old world. But the modernizing makeover has taken away some of what made Sinbad last so many centuries in the first place.

    It is indeed sinfully bad.... The plot is predictable and the acting generally hammy.
