    It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

    I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

    I liked the cute, charming 1st season, but if the show had been canceled after that season, then I wouldn't have given the Adventures of Sinbad another thought. It was the slightly darker, more adult 2nd season and the addition of Bryn that made this a show that I still miss more than 10 years after it was prematurely ended due to internal politics. Season 3 was set to go until the new production company pulled the plug at the last minute.I enjoyed Season 2 more because Sinbad was more mature and therefore more believable as the captain of the Nomad that season. Although I thought he was adorable in Season 1, he was too much like a little boy playing dress up that season.Bryn was a better fit in Season 2 because the actress playing Bryn was a better, more believable fighter, which fit in better with the darker tone of that Season. Also, the actress did a good job in peaking my curiosity about her character's background. I was really looking forward to seeing how her storyline played out over the years.I just recently read Ed Naha's plans for Season 3 and believe that it would have been even better than Season 2 because he and Zen Gesner (Sinbad) had discussed how they were going to take the best of Season 1 and combine it with the best of Season 2. This in included bringing back Rumina, her father, Turok and Dim Dim.

    That little summary pretty much describes this series. While it was on TV, Sinbad seemed like a great little show. There was swashbuckling, action, humour, and creatures. Sure the FX were a little bad, but they were really still in their infancy then as far as TV shows go. Even the Hercules The Legendary Journeys effects seemed great then but are very poor now. I still enjoyed the show. It was great too how Sinbad grew up as the show progressed. I just wish there had been a third season to tie up some of the loose ends. Even a TV movie would have been great. Hopefully, the DVD release of season one will prompt others to go back and experience the nostalgia of a Saturday afternoon watching Sinbad.

    The show was not the best of all but compare to such fantastic other shows it was a prime. The First Season was much more humouristic and fantastic but the second season was much more darker and mature.Since some years i have written a few scenarios based on this TV show because the characters were simply excellent. Julianne Morris(Rumina) was the most seductive and nice and tight character.The characters: Doubar, Firouz, Rongar, and Mustaphah were attractive and taking good. Sinbad was less good that teenagers could like in a hero. In the second season Sinbad was a dirty fresh arrogant guy who beat everyone anywhere.Some episodes were excellent, in the first season: The 2 first episodes with the"Return of Sinbad" were pretty much well. Every episodes with Rumina were formidable. One of the best of season I or the BEST was the "Rhonin" and another who was pretty good was "Covnemdrum" with Scrath,lord of Darkness. Some reviews could of been done for certain episodes as to make them darker and sinister and admirable.In season II, the special effects still abominable,the episodes were significant and considerable. The Best of them were: The Gift(surviving Babuk too remarkable), Heart and Soul(vampires), Hell House(original at last)with "the Cursed of the Gorgones" and "Castle Keep" were the best episodes.However some weaknesses were done so large so big. Special effects were nutty, decorative castles and cities and villages weren't original or watchable (except Baghdad). A note: In season II, Sinbad is a super hero which it shouldn't be one so far. The fight weren't good with him. He's always beating the bad guys so easily except in 4or5 episodes:the Gift(sure he lost), the Gryphon Tale, The Castle Keep and the Heart and Soul. You can watch Sinbad but you better drop in some special episodes.

    I have been a fan of this show since I first saw it. Good old fashioned serial type plots. Great cast that had a good blending. It is a shame the show was canceled. Some people are trying to get it back though.I thought the show was on par with Hercules and Xena with effects, plots, and great actors.I will miss it from my Saturday afternoon lineup.
