It's that 50's charm that really helps pull this through; especially with Kathryn Grant. Besides the snake woman this is also some of Harryhausen's best work and proves it was worth the wait until he did this as his first color film.

Great cheeseball 50s fantasy for kids! Harryhausen is the man.

Ray Harryhausen's masterpiece and wall-to-wall magic. The creatures are astonishing - show me a CGI being with the personality of the cyclops on the beach - and while most of the acting is somewhat wooden, Torino Thatcher is a splendid villain. Brilliant Bernard Herrmann score and perfect pacing - this one does not get old.

Hooray for glued-on chest hair! The plot is forgettable, B-movie fodder at best, but Harryhausen's special effects are incredible. That last skeleton fight is simply amazing. I wish claymation was still hot.

What a goofy film (Sinbad's chest hair is sponge-painted on, reminding us that another Connery can always bring back its sex appeal; and no one is anywhere close to Arabic looking). Plus, the plot is something lifted from a lesser 60's Star Trek episode. The redemption, then, comes in Harryhausen's incredible SFX; and even on a large screen, I can't really tell it was claymation (the skeleton battle at the end!). Flawed, but awe-inspiring at the same time.

miss jesus | 80 80th |
A really charming and fun fantasy film. They did a great job making the bad guy come across as sneaky in a way that leaves you wondering for a while where his heart is. If you're into fantasy stuff, I highly recommend this one, although it has one big flaw in the form of the kid who plays the genie. He's awful and hardly emotes anything except dyspepsia and hesitance.

a pretty decent fantasy romp that, while dated, still has entertainment value. it's biggest problems are poor writing and acting, but that can be forgiven in exchange for the dragon vs. cyclops fight.

I don't think anyone would really want to see this if not for special effects created by claymation wizard Harryhousen. This movie has the most useless genie I have ever seen or read about! Imagine yourself trapped in a cave with fucking fire-breathing dragon and evil wizard. Naturally you are asking your genie to get you fuck out of the cave. And the little fucker gives you a rope, A DAMN ROPE! Swing your way out... What happened to good old teleportation?!

It's quick, silly, and fun to see the elaborate sets, costumes, and effects for its time.

A fun bit of fantasy adventure. Would be utterly forgettable without Harryhausen's special effects.

With a haphazard plot and acting that leaves everything to be desired, you wanna watch this for the Harryhausen effects. Either to admire the early work of an artist who would inspire later generations of filmmakers, or to snigger about what people back then found impressive. Your choice.

In terms of story and performances, this is a pretty routine adventure flick. That's not why anyone watches this film. You watch it because Ray Harryhousen creates magical effects ... a cyclops, a giant bird, a dragon, a fighting skeleton ... this movie is pure magic.
