A pretty solid and fun movie with quite a lot of entertainment packed in. The movie at times feels more influenced by tales of Greek mythology than Arab but there's still quite a bit to enjoy. The cinematography is nicely done, the ship is well done and there's a nice blend of fantasy and adventure. The story turns into a sort of quest to lift a curse and reclaim a lamp with special powers. I like the idea of mutiny too by the crew.
The film has a couple of moments when the modern American aspect comes through too much, the cabin boy who salutes for instance. All in all though it's a fun movie, actually more engaging I thought than say Helen of Troy.
