You won't be disappointed!

Sorry, this movie sucks

Just perfect...

a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

There simply are not enough films that can qualify over this length of time with the family as we have grown up. My daughters were five and seven when it came out, and we have enjoyed the film repeatedly as they grew to now 22 and 24. This is excellent value for money !! The production strengths are there in spades ... acting A+++, cinematography A+++ Scripting A+++ locations A+++. I won't go one, but wanted to review this quite lovely film now in 2017, after all these years. This one is a winner.

The movie is called Arabian Nights, however the original name for the story was "Stories of 1001 Nights". And the whole story happens in Persia( Shahrzad was the name of the queen) and the story was originally written in Arabic( official language of Iran in that era).The story was supposed to be before Islam otherwise a lot of things would be different; But a lot of Islamic symbols are used in the movie. Alladin is an Arabic name and was not Chinese(as shown) same for Pricess Zubaida (again Arabic name) and not Chinese. The Story of Alibaba goes on in Baghdad and not Damascus. Harun-Al-Rashid was in Iran( Khorasan) and definitely after Islam. I know he was not in the story.

This movie with its many popular tales told throughout was incredible. Don't let the length put you off as it almost did me. In the end I felt it could have been longer it was that enjoyable. The popular tales of Ali Baba and Aladdin, along with a few other I didn't recognize were fantastic. Each story was able to flow into the next using characters from the previous story, until the last 2 tales after Aladdin.(The only small miscast was that of Aladdin, Lee, while his acting was believable, did not seem to strike me as an Aladdin.)Each tale has a point, coming together in the end.Spellbinding entertainment.

I saw ARABIAN NIGHTS and enjoyed it . the movie was greatly produced and the cast was perfect. but there is a point which annoys me and that`s the role of persia in this story. the real book is named "Hezar O Yek Shab"(1001 nights) Which was written by an iranian author "Abdollatif e Tasooji" and the stories related to persia. you know that persia consisted of a lot of countries like Iran , Afghanestan , Pakistan, part of Iraq , Greece , India ,etc. it means that all the stories should happen in persia but i saw the movie without a word about persia. Shahrzad is an iranian (Persian) name like a lot of other names which used in this film. there was another parts in this film like Aladdin , who was living in Samarghand , but why should he , his mother and his princess live in china!!although the movie has such mistakes but i think it is a very enjoyable movie.
