| Professional Reviews | (05/30/3008, p.77, Ken Tucker): "As glorious as any adventure film ever made....THE THIEF OF BAGDAD is both lush and playful, a fairy tale with gasping suspense.", (07/01/2006, p.115, Jan Vincent-Rudzki): 3 stars out of 5 -- "It's packed full of all the required ingredients of a fantasy film and is imaginatively visualized.", (08/01/2006, p.100, Geoffrey Macnab): "Alexander Korda enlisted a small army of directors to make this fantasy. The craftsmanship astounds.", (12/06/2002, p.10E, Mike Clark): "...The most beloved magic-carpet fantasy ever, THE THIEF OF BAGDAD is a constant Technicolor dazzler..." |

Laversa Loves THE THIEF OF BAGDAD. You may, Too.
Pros: Sabu, Conrad Veidt, June Duprez, Rex Ingram. A marvelously entertaining fantasy. Classic Movie Magic. Cons: It was made in 1939, if that bothers you Bottom Line: Captivating Escapes
Pros: Marvelously staged, with opulent color, engaging story-telling, fine performances by Sabu, Duprez, and especially Veidt Cons: John Juston's whining, obnoxious hero and some pompous themes and dialogue Bottom Line: Strange How an Unpleasant Child Can Be a Decent Dog!
Pros: Landmark special effects for its day, charmingly magical quality, excellent performances by Sabu and Veidt Cons: Some lame dialog, poor script continuity, dated special effects, and weak performance by John Justin Bottom Line: An Arabian Fantasy in Technicolor
Pros: Astounding special effects. Cons: No great feat of acting. Bottom Line: 60 Years Later, the Fantasy Still Endures
Pros: Reflecting optimism in the midst of World War II, it's an amazing feat of story-telling. Cons: The story lags, the transitions are clumsy and the dialogue is often campy. Bottom Line: The Thief of Bagdad (1940)
Pros: sets, cinematography, costumes Cons: characters, story, direction Read More at Epinions.com |
