Jack the Giant Slayer Reviews

Good movie, and the graphics are great. The ending sucked. Best to watch the movie on the big screen or if you have a big tv.

You guys gotta stop killing these poor movies.
To me, Jack The Giant Slayer had very few silly scenes, such as the "human in a blanket" scene. The action went perfect with the digital effects, and to me, the giants looked terrific. Many people may not go with this review, but to me it was one of the best movies I have ever seen.

Fun time waster -- probably will become a cult hit. Was definitely fun but flawed.

Really love the idea at concept, but no improvements on the fantasy story and weak antagonists make it fall flat

Its had me entertained for sure. I like the actor who played Jack.

I wasn't sure what to expect from this, but it turned out to be quite entertaining.
After an overly cheesy and rather slow start, it picked up rather well. The talents of both Ian McShane and Bill Nighy were both dramatically underused and McGregor felt a little Ham at times, but Hoult's performance in the lead was actually quite strong.
Nothing amazing to be seen here, but all in all a good couple of hours of entertainment.

This was surprisingly better than I expected! It couldn't quite find its target audience, but it had a great cast, fun humor, and, of course, adventure.

Better than the reviews had me expecting to be, but not great, as there was also much less action than I expected there to be. Jack only slays 3 giants the whole time; hardly enough for a movie this long.

The visual effects look like they came from a video game and it's too silly for adults and too violent for kids, but the giants are wickedly entertaining and the supporting cast have a field day.

"...and after the Jack story-telling that we all know, leaving behind the epic battles that never happened, the romance that never existed (who knows), and all the gold they left behind (including the chicken with the golden eggs and the lovely harp), Moriarty stole the crown from the museum to make his own show with a NO RUSH line. Now, Moriarty really died that day? Sherlock did too? How this will end? Stay tune for more Sherlock next year in Series 3" - Yes I got inspired somehow hahaha.

Anyway, leaving that thing behind, the story-telling was great, the animation has it's flaws (not well made, looks like a video game smash with reality world, like AVATAR did...I expected more of those WETA masters on CGI effects really, oh well, at least GOLLUM is the only thing they have done almost realistic and not video gamish), the score is fantastic, well done musicians! And yes, the acting was great in some actors/actresses.

PD: Spoilers? Where? I don't see them unless you did not read the original story when you were a kid.
Enjoy and HASTA LA PROXIMA AMIGOS/AS DU 7th L'ART!!! BLESS YOU ALL and like a professor of mine said once: "When you create a story, you are mini gods creating life and literature. Remember that not all written is true, is pure poetry and autobiographies of humans that create only what they believe is great" - in other words, don't believe everything you read. Giants? Gods? What else is the humans capable of creating? (or copying this days with a new point of view?). Is up to you! CREATE, VISUALIZE, AND BE YOU! BE....ORIGINAL! (hard...but can be possible).

Good actors, direction was weak. Now been couple weeks since I saw it, don't remember much. That's one way I know it did not do well for me.

Dreadful visual effects look like they are from 1980. Countless time period continuity distractions. Someone should spend the rest of their life in the dungeon for this cinematic turd.

Meh. Nothing noteworthy here.

It was entertaining but flawed. There were some problems with the pacing of the story, and despite the likeable leads, the rest of the characters were uninteresting, including the giants. Not a bad fantasy movie, but it could've been better.

Great Movie, in the Tradition of Princess Bride and Never Ending Story. It is clever as well as entertaining. Does well in developing depth for the characters in the film.
If you are only Interested in ADD Movies with Constant Effects and no Story line, this movie is not for you. But if you like a good story, clever plot, and wholesome fun, this movie is perfect.

Some times 3-D works and when it does it is fun. Jack The Giant Slayer is one of those films. This is one of those films where you don't care if the acting is that great or if the story is a little off kilter. You go to a 3-d film like this one to be grabbed at by the giants and have their noses 2 inches from your face. You sit there and experience the characters fall from thousand foot bean stalks. When it is over you get the happy ending with the guy getting the girl and the good guys winning. In the end you are a winner also because if you have managed to not compare this movie to other theatrical versions of fairy tales and just sit back for the ride., then you have had a good time.
That my friend is what i did and that is what returned the magic of going to a 3-D movie for me.

Looked promising but with a childish story and average acting, there's a lot left to desire

Really entertaining but can feel a little dull at times. Best thing about this movie was everyone's ridiculous, ridiculous hair. The climax was pretty awesome too.

Heureusement qu'il y a le combat final pour éviter le flop
