Director :Bryan Singer
Cast : Nicholas Hoult ( Jack ) and Eleanor Tomlinson ( Isabelle )
Our Rating : 8/10
Movie is about a world between Heaven and Hell which is occupied by Huge Man eating Giants. They are isolated from earth because of no connectivity between the two worlds . Once upon a time , these giants managed to reach earth by a huge tree grown by a magical bean which reaches to a great heights onto the skies from earth and these giants were able to climb down to earth using that tree. Eric the king who ruled that time fought bravely and managed to kill one of the giant and using its heart , he created a magical crown by which whomsoever wearing it can control these giants . So Eric managed to send them back to their world and he had the tree cut down so they dont come back. Many years pass by and king is now just a legend , a chapter in story books which talks about the magical crown and those magical beans.Now moving to the present age showing Nicholas Hoult as Jack a simple poor farm boy and Isabelle ( Princess , daughter of current king ) who is also a bloodline of Eric King the great. Somehow those beans alomg with the crown are stolen from erics Coffin and important thing is if those beans get wet , they can grow large which can result in giants using it to come down causing a series threat to mankind. One of the beans accidentally get wet in a rain resulting in unimaginable tree growing huge tearing up the clouds so high. In this incident princess Isabelle also been taken high up along with jack house when the tree grew. How Jack along with other Kings Soldiers climb the tree to reach the other side of the world to save princess , how jack saves princess inturn princess falling in love for him and how the crown is used to bring back peace & safety to the man kind is rest of the story to be tired on the big screen.
Some camera shots from top angle eagle view are must watch in a Imax 3D Screen as it is breathtaking . Movie screenplay is good but the story is very predictable and it doesn't surprise you much on what the next scene would be. Its not a thriller movie , though has giants involved but sure it would be fun for any children's watching it for they would feel like watching their Night time stories and fairy tales in a big screen. Climax scenes when giants climb down was good for sometime. But nothing more to expect out of it. It is not worth for a 3D Movie and there are not much scenes worth made for a 3D Viewing except few. BGM was normal and the characters were not that catchy that includes Nicholas Hoult as jack who is not that perfect match for the role but still tried his best and all others did their part as normal it can be, no goosebumps anywhere throughout the movie. Its just a clear fun filled movie with no logic's and just meant for enjoyment only. Watchable once for its fresh feel but nothing more for a matured movie watchers. Pure Children's entertainment and sure they would love it most especially in a Imax screen 3D if possible.
FAM Movie Club : Jack the giant slayer should have been slayed here and there to cut shot the run hours but said it is a pure fun entertainment for viewers who just need some refreshing time watching a movie with not much of anything. It deserves one time watch not more than that if you are not below 12 age. Have fun watching***once ( Conditions apply ) :p
It’s a fun movie and if that’s what you go in expecting, then you’re going to be happy. At least that’s what I went in feeling like. Good review.
