RipDelight This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.

Chirphymium It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

Salubfoto It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

Jenna Walter The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

Kirpianuscus CGI is an admirable for the elder generations. old fairy tales, animation, fantastic films are face in to the chance of the new life. colorful, dynamic, realistic, fascinating and , maybe, amazing. Jack the Giant Slayer is a good example and the art to recreate, in charming manner, the well known story is the great virtue of this, maybe, too generous film in the use of technology. sure, a beautiful film and the presence and work of Nicholas Hould is one of its best parts. the atmosphere, the memories about giants and about the special bean seed , the new details who are perfect tools for recreate a good show, seductive, mysterious and essential for so many generations are virtues of a film for entire family and perfect for keep the imagination of new children at a real high level.

Nawed Farruk So i gave it a try today and here i am presenting with my very first review. :D After watching the movie, I felt like perhaps i expected a bit more b'Cox of the trailer and the fact that the film could have depicted more of an adventurous theme rather than flowing along the cliché.The special effects were too obvious to pick at, the slow moving and dead story-line fails to engage the audience throughout the movie, no surprise element is there to indulge the par imaginations with the "giant world" {I wonder why they did not showed the world above and its inhabitants the different way, something that will flabbergast the viewers when they meet the giant world}.. Though i must admit that the movie had had some good parts, reason why I'm marking it 5 out of 10.My advice = Go and watch if you're full of boredom and have no choice but this movie, otherwise save your time.

Leofwine_draca A remake of the '60s cult classic JACK THE GIANT KILLER, with improved CGI effects and less of a fun feel. Saying that, I did get a kick out of watching JACK THE GIANT SLAYER, which is far from the worst big budget CGI spectacle. In fact, I quite enjoyed it, a lot more than the likes of CHARLIE AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY and ALICE IN WONDERLAND.The lack of a decent storyline is the worst thing about this film. Everything about the writing is clichéd and derivative: the too-obvious villain characters, the steadfast (and dull) heroes, the damsel-in-distress storyline. Nicholas Hoult is one of those bland, youthful, modern-day leading man who brings not one ounce of charisma to the role, although the supporting cast are a little better, especially Ian McShane (who, to my delight, gets plenty of screen time). It seems by this stage that the overexposed Stanley Tucci is desperate to appear in any old thing.Ewan McGregor is here too, stiff as a board and making STAR WARS jokes, which is embarrassing. Not as embarrassing as Ewen Bremner's dull-witted henchman, though. Eleanor Tomlinson's princess is pretty but also pretty vacuous, although that's more down to the writing than the actress. The film as a whole is dominated by CGI effects work, some good, some not so great. The important thing is that the CGI giants do look fine and are among the better CGI effects I've seen in modern cinema. One thing that amused me is that the storyline is tied up in little over an hour, so there's a whole tacked-on ending involving full-scale warfare which is actually more enjoyable than the simplistic quest storyline that preceded it.

skanz The princess wants adventure, but is very much a pawn in the film. Constantly being rescued from bullies, the rain, the cooking pot, the beanstalk, the giant, and then her controlling father. Every film doesn't have to be feminist, but I mean, is she nothing more than 'the prize'? I know it was just fairytale fun but each little bit helps to further the myth that women need male protection. Especially protection provided by a clod like Jack. Jack, though very brave was more than a little dim, in this version he went to market to sell a perfectly good horse and a cart for some thatch to mend the leaky roof. Thatch. Jack is a farmer. Sell the horse and cart to buy some thatch? it's like a fisherman selling his fishing boat to buy a sardine. He proved handy with his sword though, and that's all that matters in the end.
