Arianna Moses Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Zlatica One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Shiryu05 I wanted to see what sort of performance Dougray Scott would give in a movie that was not a blockbuster-type. Granted he is talented and i felt he gave an admirable performance as the Sultan who couldn't trust his own shadow let another person. One thing that put me off though was the accents, both his and Sheherazade's accents were awful - he sounds much like his characters from movies such as MI2, ever after etc they could have made an effort and had him learn to speak in a manner befitting someone from the middle east.Pronunciation of the Arabic language was really awful. Simple words like harem and Allah (God) were horribly mispronounced.The special effects were awful but i suspect that was because of a minute budget. John Leguizamo did a great job as both Genies, specially the part where the 2 of them are groaning about their familial relations - reminded me of my own family.I was surprised to see Andy Serkis in the lineup and wondered how i had missed him since the Lord of the Rings trilogy is one of my favorite films of all time.Mili's Sheherazade physically was beautiful and somewhat believable in her role, i wish she had been more expressive though since Dougray Scott (accent aside) portrayed the anguished sultan to perfection.All in all a fun, silly movie to watch if you need to get your mind off something :-) Enjoy !

elpasoasshole The movie was a real turnon. I thought the costumes were Realistic for the period. The story though an old one is timeless. I truly enjoyed it . I have a few of Vanessa Maes CDs and appreciate her violin expertese.I had no idea she was so pretty. And young.

monsterltd I saw ARABIAN NIGHTS and enjoyed it . the movie was greatly produced and the cast was perfect. but there is a point which annoys me and that`s the role of persia in this story. the real book is named "Hezar O Yek Shab"(1001 nights) Which was written by an iranian author "Abdollatif e Tasooji" and the stories related to persia. you know that persia consisted of a lot of countries like Iran , Afghanestan , Pakistan, part of Iraq , Greece , India ,etc. it means that all the stories should happen in persia but i saw the movie without a word about persia. Shahrzad is an iranian (Persian) name like a lot of other names which used in this film. there was another parts in this film like Aladdin , who was living in Samarghand , but why should he , his mother and his princess live in china!!although the movie has such mistakes but i think it is a very enjoyable movie.

kang_sc My English teacher recommended me to watch this movie and display it to all the members of the English Language Society in my school.At first sight,this movie didn't look very tempting with its larger than life genie and introduction.But as the story evolves,I began to enjoy it because of the familiarity that I felt in watching the Alibaba and Alladin story.Unfortunately,I do wonder whether some of the kissing scene would be appropriate for our rather imaginative young mind.
