The titular sailor is played by Lou Ferrigno. He's not the devilishly charismatic character that he ought to be, but nor is he the worst Sinbad that I've seen. His nemesis, an evil wizard named Jaffar (John Steiner), fares much better in that regard - like a Shakespearean villain, he puts theatrical passion into his lines.
If none of the human actors win you over, there's some bitchin' B-Movie FX to have fun with, and a couple of Munchhausen-esque solutions to problems.
It's not as timeless as the Harryhausen films, but kids with sufficient imagination and/or fans of bad-good fantasy movies might still enjoy it.
