Jack the Giant Slayer

Jack the Giant Slayer (PG-13) 2013


Directed by Bryan Singer


Starring:  Nicholas Hoult, Eleanor Tomlinson, Stanley Tucci, Ian McShane, Bill Nighy, Ewan McGregor, Eddie Marsan, Ewen Bremner, Christopher Fairbank and Warwick Davis


Here We Go:  The classic story of Jack and the Beanstalk gets a special effects makeover for this larger than life giants vs. humans face-off.  The scale of this movie is impressive and the story all makes sense, but there is just something about this movie that is just a little underwhelming.  The action/fighting scenes are pretty cool and love interest angle is predictable but sweet enough.  There's just something that was missing.  I guess there's just too much predictability and not enough twist, but I can see how kids would like this.


Bottom Line:  Watch it if you need a time killer or if you're sick of playing with your Legos - but only if it's free.
