Jack The Giant Slayer (2013) Plot: Nicholas Hoult and Eleanor Tomlinson star in this modern-day fantasy adventure based on the classic fairy tale. When Jack (Hoult), a young farmhand, unwittingly opens a gateway into the world of giants, an ancient war is reignited as the giant warriors seize their opportunity to reclaim the land they lost centuries before. As Jack swings into battle for his kingdom and its people, and also for the love of the beautiful Princess Isabelle (Tomlinson), he finds himself face to face with the fearsome fighters he thought existed only in legend. The supporting cast includes Ewan McGregor, Stanley Tucci, Bill Nighy, Ian McShane and Eddie Marsan. Review: This movie does look impressive, but the casting was terrible, along with the corny storyline. I was expecting something amazing, but as usual I got let down and I lost interest. I did like the look of the giants and some of the fighting scenes were done extremely well, but I didn't really care for any of the characters which just made the movie drag. Medieval movies in the genre only really work when they have a touch of wit, which this movie has none, and the whole background story was quite boring. Visually, you can't fault it but that's about it. Watchable! Round-Up: This movie was lucky to, just about, break even because you can tell that there was a lot of work put into it. The attention to detail was great, which must make this movie look amazing in 3D, but you end up just wanting to see the giants more than the main characters. There isn't much chemistry between each character so the whole emotional element is missing. It must have been hard for the actors because there is a lot of green screen work, were there acting without anything being there, so I do credit them for that. It's not n the league of the Game Of Thrones, but it's worth watching just for the CGI. Budget: $195million (WOW!) Worldwide Gross: $198million I recommend this movie to people who like there human against giants type of fairy tales. 4/10
