Editorial Review: Product Description: Studio: Lions Gate Home Ent. Release Date: 04/22/2003 Run time: 175 minutes Rating: Nr Amazon.com: When 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 Customer Reviews
Average Rating:
 Rating:  - This movie is Amazing!This rendition of the classic tale is so convincing you feel as though this could have actually happened. The insane king, the woman who faces death to save him, and of course, the magical tales beautiful woven into a wonderful film. The shots and special effects truly transport you to the time frame of the story. Filled with action and an incredible acting cast, this is a wonderful movie. The only way this movie could have possibly been improved would have been cutting the un-realistic and long flying carpet scene. Other than that, this is a great adaptation of the book and worth every minute! Rating: - really fabulous storyThe stories are told in a really enchanting way, the atmosphere is extremely well rendered and the suspense is omnipresent. The intrigue is classic, but still you will be enchanted by the setting and the humour. Rating: - Recreates well the atmosphere of Silk Road life Having trod many a dusty path across lots of (old quarter) Silk Road cities and landscapes from Middle China to the Middle East, this Hallmark film really (and unexpectedly) receives my 5 stars without hesitation (both for adults'! and children's viewing alike). It primarily conveys to me a genuine feeling of bygone settlements in this vast region (allowing for the romance of storytelling then and now - the original storybook itself is the result of "hand-traded tales" over centuries from one caravanserai to the next, becoming contorted and glorious as storytellers added their unique cultural bits...), has great costumes and quite a few scenic landscapes (-rather than tacky Hollywood studio "sets"), gripping and comedic plots, ...

It's long, but you can watch it in segments because of the story structure. I watched it over and over and enjoyed it each time. Rating: - ExcellentThis is one of the best investments in DVDs. For the new generation, it is a good way to get a glimpse of the rich heritage of stories told over generations. I would recommend it 100%. |
