Sinbad and the War of the Furies

If you love B-movies, you might like this, but even as a 'B', it is missing the amusing 'cheese factor'. Bad acting, bad directing and bad editing. If this movie was intending to be tongue and cheek, this doesn't work either.

I would usually not bother to have watched it until the end, but I did want to see if there would be any redeeming features.

Cheap films these days are not the crap they used to be. There are some very talented people out there and even a movie made without all the bells and whistles can be entertaining.

This movie really misses the mark for me.

If you feel I am being too harsh, remember, this is my opinion, which is the only one I am qualified to give.

Let's be clear here, Sinbad and the War of the Furies is no great film making. Pretty much anything that can be wrong with a film is wrong with this one. But for all that it does not suck. The casting is poor, the acting highly uneven, and the directing terribl The production was ridiculously cheap - Sinbad is filmed almost entirely indoors, most of those indoors limited to two rooms - with very few real action scenes. But the writing is reasonable enough to carry it along and if you're a film lover your curiosity will do the rest. Because there is something oddly sweet about this movie with its bare bones cast and its rationed sets, especially as you realize its makers clearly thought it had franchise potential. Folks clearly punched above their weight with this one, but kept going anyway (though I don't know if they ever noticed they were out of their league) and I respect that. So, no, I did not hate this movie even though we all made fun of it throughout, maybe even enjoyed it a bit.

To give this any stars would be to praise it too highly. It is almost unwatchable. The characters are not properly set up, the basic premise is invisible, the main character might as well be called Joe Bloggs since he does not resemble the literary or film Sinbad in any way... Watching paint dry would be more intellectually rewarding.

There seems to be some uncertainty as to whether this thing is called "...Clash of the Furies", or "...War of the Furies".

.....bad? Bad plot, bad costumes, bad cinematography and the worst acting ever! Why do directors think all it takes to make a male lead Sinbad is for the "actor" to have long dark hair and wear a vest with no shirt under it? It fails as a drama, it fails as a fantasy, it fails as a comedy and it fails as entertaining. Most concerning is the money that was wasted on this.....even if it was probably under a thousand dollars. Well at least it was a next step for the high school drama department!

Playful made for TV looking of Sinbad film set in modern times, much of it in L.A. It was sort of cute at times a bit funny if you don't take it too seriously. The acting were adequate I suppose for what it was. I enjoyed watching it for its playfulness, but its not a good movie. 3.5 stars out of 10.
