The special effects by Ray Harryhausen are magnificent and far out weigh any of the films many flaws. A film fantasy classic, though made 14 years after 'The classic Seventh Voyage' which the purists say was superior. still the stop-motion indian goddess Kali, is for me his finest creation (bar the Medusa, from 'Clash of the Titans'. Tom baker is outstanding as the evil wizard and so is the stunning Carolie Munroe as sinbad's cabin girl, muse (well she's such a nice diversion to the monster action). Todays C.G.I action is so mediocre, whilst thes stop-motion effects are pure magic. I wish they still made them and the last I saw popped up in a short sequence in 'The Evil Dead'. I loved every second as a kid and still do as an adult. Timeless fantasy adventure.
