Sinbad and the Minotaur Audience Reviews

Ameriatch One of the best films i have seen
Clarissa Mora The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.
Derry Herrera Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.
Brennan Camacho Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.
Len05 VdP (quapsel) It is not a monster movie. A classic story where good and evil try to reach the same treasure. They encounter few times but none is very efficient. The bad guy needs to be more bad and wears black or covers face. The good guy is super good and popular and has magical item to cheat. Henchmen are just long enough in sight to die. Monster is there. and arrives predictable. If they just examine and sell the traps with 100y guarantee or the ever-burning torches then they would get rich.I resented a few aspects of the film. They should have stopped using CGI and build a real life model. And it is like they wrote a movie to show a few certain items and events.
Paul Magne Haakonsen You know what you are getting with this movie, so don't set your expectations up too high.This is one of those type of movies that were made with all the right intentions, but faltered under horrible CGI effects. If you enjoy fantasy and mythical adventures, then you might find some enjoyment in "Sinbad and the Minotaur", just prepare to ward your eyes away from some gut-wrenching abysmal CGI effects.Story-wise, then "Sinbad and the Minotaur" is straight forward and very easy to follow. It is a fast paced movie, and that worked well in favor of the movie. And the action sequences were actually quite alright as well.As for the acting, well, it was adequate but nothing outstanding or memorable. And it was a shame that they didn't have any famous actors or actresses to star in the movie in order to lift up the standards.There are far better fantasy movies out there, and "Sinbad and the Minotaur" wasn't memorable enough to stand out in the genre.
TheLittleSongbird I watched Sinbad and the Minotaur with nothing else better to do, but while I was dubious of whether it would work it turned out to be worse than I expected. Production values-wise, it's a cheap-looking film, with costumes reminiscent of bad fancy dress, scenery that is not authentic at all and camera work that looks flat and rushed. I have seen worse effects in my lifetime, but although I do realise it was low-budget Sinbad and the Minotaur doesn't in my view look as though a lot of effort went into it. The minotaur has some menace but is too much of a giant bull rather than half-man/half-bull from mythology. The dialogue is terribly cheesy, but hilariously so at the same time, and while the idea was good the story was dull with no genuine thrills, imagination, fun and suspense and everything screams of being done before in adventure/fantasy films and better. The direction is sloppy, and the acting is pretty atrocious, with Manu Bennett having none of the charisma needed for the role of Sinbad. In fairness though, the characters are not interesting at all and have no life to them, the villain is especially flat. In conclusion, an awful film but if you watch it for novelty value you might get some enjoyment out of it. 1/10 Bethany Cox
ronunsworth If they spent more than $100 making this they were robbed. The script is awful, the acting abysmal and the sets hilarious. My advice, don't waste valuable time watching this tripe. I cant honestly think of anything that was worth while watching. It is supposed to be based on the myth of the Minotaur, but the lead actor is so bad at acting. I have to mention the Kiwi accent of the male star that it's hard to take anything seriously right from the start. I'm surprised that SyFy channel even bothered to air this. Even the props were funny, but most of all was the plot. I've never sat through so much trash in all my life.
