This movie had the potential to be a hilarious Sinbad comedy. I enjoyed it far more when I was a kid. After watching it again today, I realized how bad it really is. The cinematography was pretty bad. The camera cuts back and forth far too much, especially during dialog between two characters at once, making it almost dizzying to watch at times. Editing was noticeably bad in some scenes. For example, a character is standing in one spot, then the camera angle changes and the character is now standing in a different spot. Or how about the scene when Sinbad is leaving the airport in the red Volvo wagon and spins the tires taking off causing the rear wheels to spin and smoke. Did anyone notice the patch of oil under the smoking tire they show a close-up of? I've driven that kind of Volvo and I can say from experience those Volvos can't spin the tires like that on dry pavement. So it was obvious the wet patch on the ground was oil they poured there to cause the rear wheels to spin and smoke when Sinbad took off fast. Just simple stuff like that that can make a movie seem cheaply and poorly done.
