Review – The 7th Voyage of Sinbad

Actually this is the first, or at least the first one the legendary sailor took courtesy of Ray Harryhausen. And as would come to be the pattern with Dynamation features, the monsters steal the show. Indeed, in this effort the plot and characters are almost completely irrelevant. We even re-encounter a couple of these early Harryhausen efforts in later movies, particularly the sword-fighting skeleton. Even though some of the stop motion is a little rough, it’s still good stuff. Mildly amusing
