AND Ziyi Zhang AND Jet Li... it's a cornucopia of bad acting!

I don't know who Djimon Hounsou is, but he keeps bad company.

I think the most well known role he's been in was in "Amistad." He was the slave who led the revolt and then stood trial. He also was Russell Crowe's friend, Juba, in Gladiator. He was the one who put that chewed stuff on Crowe's wound.

Je Li... well, I'd call that mediocre acting.
Ziyi Zhang... I'm not complaining.

Me neither, and you're probably right... Hayden Christensen, for god's sake...

OK. Him I like.

Jet Li and Ziyi Zhang belong to the 2 emotions school of acting: Angry and Not-angry.

Meh

Quite right. The script sounds pretty goofy too. An Arabian Night story looking for Aladdin's lamp... in China. Ho-key.

I looked up info on Arabian Nights and found something interesting:

Although many of the stories are set in India, their origins are unknown and have been the subject of intensive scholarly investigation. The corpus began to be collected about the year 1000. At first the title was merely indicative of a large number of stories; later editors dutifully provided editions with the requisite 1,001 tales. The present form of Thousand and One Nights is thought to be native to Persia or one of the Arabic-speaking countries, but includes stories from a number of different countries and no doubt reflects diverse source material.

Perhaps this is the reason to set it in China; because it doesn't really state where the story takes place. Or maybe Sinbad will be making his way through China on his way to the Middle East to look for the lamp. Or maybe Rob Cohen doesn't know his butt from a hole in the ground. ;)
