Sinbad and the Eye of the Tiger
Well I have to say I always have enjoyed this movie, it was actually the first Sinbad movie I have ever witness and I was pretty much in awe of it as a kid, watching it on DVD on the widescreen still takes me back to those days, even though it wasn't done with ILM effect standards for me its more about the suspension of belief and going back it a more innocent and certainly less technical time. To redo a Harryhausen movie would be like colorizing black and white classics.

Totally enjoyable SInbad film
I really liked this film, I dont see why some dont, it has great stop animation and Patrick Watne was not that bad as Sinbad. This movie still excels in being a great fantasy film. It was a shame this would be the last SInbad film to be released(LIVE ACTION I MEAN). Maybe one day someone will get smart in Hollywood and realize SInabad is a great cvhracter and needs some treatment.

a fond and fun look back for the 35 and older crowd
i can still remember getting to go to see this one alone as my parents went to another movie,man was that a big deal to me!
this time out sinbad wants to marry,but his true loves brother is turned into a monkey(hard to a monkey for a womans hand), so off we go to find the cure,with the witch that turned him chaseing after them.
the ray harryhausen f/x's are most of the show and they are great!! sure cgi's look better but this was before we had that and the adventure is first rate. there are a few things that maybe to much for the young(including a nude from the back shot of two women) but otherwise this is great family fun!!

The Sinbad Series Went Past Its Prime
I am a big fan of Ray Harryhausen, the man who created the marvelous special effects for movies such as "It Came from Beneath the Sea" and "20 Million Miles to Earth." I have enjoyed nearly every movie for which Ray Harryhausen has created special effects and the special effects in all them. Unfortunately this movie, one of the last movies with Harryhausen special effects, is also one of the weakest movies for which Harryhausen has done special effects.
Sinbad (Patrick Wayne, a veteran of dozens of television appearances) is a questing man, and this time he meets hot babe Princess Farah (played by a young and gorgeous Jane Seymour) and her baboon brother Prince Kassim (played sometimes by a stop-action baboon and the rest of the time by Damien Thomas). Of course, Prince Kassim is not supposed to be a baboon, but the only way to get him back to human form is to find Melanthius (played by Dr. Who veteran Patrick Troughton). Melanthius determines that the only way to change Prince Kassim back is to head off to the arctic to some mysterious power, taking beautiful blonde daughter Dione (Taryn Power) with him.
Of course, quests like these are no fun unless there is someone chasing after you. In this case the person is Zenobia (Margaret Whiting), who wants her son Rafi (Kurt Christian) to become the king. Zenobia has power of her own, which we figure out quickly when we learn that she is the one who turned Prince Kassim into a baboon. Zenobia decides to make Sinbad's trip more interesting by animating a Minoton, which looks a lot like a robot Minotaur.
Sinbad and gang head off to the frigid north, encountering a giant wasp, a really giant walrus, a one-horned giant troglodyte, assorted ghouls, and (what was missing from the list?) a saber-toothed tiger! It's a tough journey, especially with Princess Farah and Dione exposing all sorts of flesh as they go skinny-dipping, but Sinbad will overcome all obstacles to save Prince Kassim!
The problem with this movie is that the acting is not all that great, and the plot seems too much like a re-tread of the previous two Sinbad movies. I enjoy the special effects, but I also knew too far in advance when things were going to happen. Admittedly, that knowledge comes after having watched every Ray Harryhausen movie in existence, but even a viewer who has watched the previous two Sinbad movies will find this one predictable.
As with the two previous movies, this DVD contains extras. "This Is Dynamation" and "The Ray Harryhausen Chronicles" were included in "The Seventh Voyage of Sinbad." Both features are great for fans of Harryhausen. There are some additional goodies, such as trailers, production notes and talent files.
There is a lot to recommend in this movie. Harryhausen's stop-action work is always remarkable and always a treat. Jane Seymour and Taryn Power are lovely eye candy. For the women there is hunky Patrick Wayne, the second son of Hollywood macho man John Wayne. If you have the previous two Sinbad movies, "The Seventh Voyage of Sinbad" and "The Golden Voyage of Sinbad," then you have to have this movie to complete the set. Good luck!

Margaret Whiting
I feel she completely steals the show from beginning to end, even paired with the son of John Wayne and the daughter of Tyrone Power. I love the sequence when Zenobia turns herself into a bird, then into miniature human form, and then..(Just enjoy the dramatic ending)
