Movie Reviews of Arabian Nights
Movie Review: Shazaam!
Summary: 4 Stars
This 1999 version of the "Arabian Nights" really surprised me (in a good way) when I first viewed it and, in review, it still stands as a fun, unconventional telling of a classic tale. It was produced about the same time that CGI was getting of the ground so it adds but does not overwhelm. There is almost a "hungry" energy in the performances which expands the movie set to include the viewer. Settle in for a good time!
Summary of Arabian Nights
Studio: Lions Gate Home Ent. Release Date: 04/22/2003 Run time: 175 minutes Rating: NrWhen Sultan Said discovers his wife locked in a passionate embrace with his only brother, he flings his sword at the prince and accidentally murders his adulterous queen. Tortured by his wife's ghost, the maniacal and cowardly sultan must marry another to save his kingdom, but to avoid future matrimonial disgrace he plans to have her executed the morning after the wedding. Fortunately for him, Scheherezade, the grand vicar's daughter played by the lovely Mili Avital, jumps at the challenge and the chance to marry her childhood love. A master storyteller, the newly crowned sultana escapes death night after night with her mesmerizing tales of Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves, Aladdin and his Magic Lamp, countless warriors, supernatural duels, and ferocious genies.
Although the main story line falls short of Scheherezade's seductive tales, audiences will be enchanted with fantastic special effects, elaborate costumes, and the magic of Persia. Wonderfully directed and edited by Steve Barron, Hallmark's Arabian Nights will particularly appeal to fans of magical computer-effects laden television miniseries. --Melissa Asher
