Sinbad and the War of the Furies

Asylum's Clash of the Furies is nothing but a series of elongated improv sessions and quite terrible ones at that. John Morrison has displayed charisma in the past, but one of those examples is not this film. The special effects are minimal, the action is barely there and the amount of talking heads in this one is simply tedious. Even for an Asylum film, Clash of the Furies feels exceptionally cheap and rushed. It's almost as if they had John Morrison for a week and shot all of his scenes, which are many, by the seat of their arse. The production feels very disorganised. Most of the dialogue outside of essential plot details, are improvised and are allowed to tangent on for what seems like forever. Most of this film is talking, and that talking is quite obnoxious. I wouldn't recommend Clash of the Furies at all to anyone. It's not bad enough to be worth watching, but it's still pretty god damn bad. This adventure comedy as it were is severely lacking in either.

Moviecut—Sinbad and the War of the Furies

Playful made for TV looking of Sinbad film set in modern times, much of it in L.A. It was sort of cute at times a bit funny if you don't take it too seriously. The acting were adequate I suppose for what it was. I enjoyed watching it for its playfulness, but its not a good movie. 3.5 stars out of 10.

You know what you're getting with an Asylum film. The Acting is really uneven, the few special effects they have are shoddy and the story goes off the rails easily. But it has Charm, its a Fun B movie to watch with a couple of beers.

By the end of the film I didn't exactly know what the heart of Medusa was, seeing it did this and it did that and then became part of a gun. (!) It was all rather confusing. It reminded me of the 'black goo' in those awful later 'Alien' movies that did all kind of things with no rhyme or reason. In this film the plot doesn't make sense, the acting is questionable and it limps along so slowly it induces somnolence in the viewer. The tone shifts more than a ship on the high seas. The reveal that Sinbad's girlfriend is really on the side of the villains was just stupid. If you want a good Sinbad movie stick to the Ray Harryhausen films.

.....bad? Bad plot, bad costumes, bad cinematography and the worst acting ever! Why do directors think all it takes to make a male lead Sinbad is for the "actor" to have long dark hair and wear a vest with no shirt under it? It fails as a drama, it fails as a fantasy, it fails as a comedy and it fails as entertaining. Most concerning is the money that was wasted on this.....even if it was probably under a thousand dollars. Well at least it was a next step for the high school drama department!

Let's be clear here, Sinbad and the War of the Furies is no great film making. Pretty much anything that can be wrong with a film is wrong with this one. But for all that it does not suck. The casting is poor, the acting highly uneven, and the directing terribl The production was ridiculously cheap - Sinbad is filmed almost entirely indoors, most of those indoors limited to two rooms - with very few real action scenes. But the writing is reasonable enough to carry it along and if you're a film lover your curiosity will do the rest. Because there is something oddly sweet about this movie with its bare bones cast and its rationed sets, especially as you realize its makers clearly thought it had franchise potential. Folks clearly punched above their weight with this one, but kept going anyway (though I don't know if they ever noticed they were out of their league) and I respect that. So, no, I did not hate this movie even though we all made fun of it throughout, maybe even enjoyed it a bit.

It left me feeling utterly amazed. Every aspect of this experience raises questions about how other films can even exist. Why is this not a higher rating? Other films have gaslighted us into thinking we know a good film when we see one, but we dont. This is a perfect storm of acting talent and masterful writing!

SINBAD AND THE WAR OF THE FURIES is another budget 'Arabian Adventure' style movie from The Asylum, a film made without much hope, budget, or originality. Once more the Sinbad story has been updated to the modern day to cut down on costs, but what transpires is your usual globetrotting adventure with our hero and his allies battling various mythological foes for supremacy. It's a tired outing, made without energy, and saddled with one of the dullest leads I can remember seeing in a film. The Asylum will need to do a lot better than this if they want to entertain their audiences.
