The Thief of Baghdad 2020

Art & Craft

Visually the film presents an ambitious aesthetic but execution is uneven. Reviewers note an impressive picture and strong graphics in certain scenes, yet also condemn the CGI as cheap and the editing as poorly handled. This mix of high‑gloss visuals and technical flaws places the artistic craft in a middle range.

Character & Emotion

Performances are widely criticized for being unconvincing and lacking depth. Multiple reviewers label the acting as terrible, unrealistic, and devoid of chemistry, while only a few mention a comedic presence that offers limited relief. The overall impression of the character work is markedly weak, resulting in a low score.

Story & Flow

The narrative is consistently described as weak and contrived. Critics point to a boring screenplay, incoherent plot, and lack of engaging pacing, although a minority cite a storyline that deviates from the usual formula. These shortcomings in plot coherence and originality lead to a low rating for storytelling.

Sensory Experience

Sensory elements receive mixed feedback. The picture quality and some graphics are praised for their visual appeal, yet the CGI is called horrible and sound design receives little positive comment, creating an uneven auditory‑visual experience. Consequently, the sensory score lands in the mid‑range.

Rewatch Factor

Repeat viewings are unlikely to be appealing. Many reviewers left early, describing the film as a painful watch, while a small number found occasional fun. This pervasive lack of enjoyment and limited replay value results in a low rewatch factor.
