Jack the Giant Slayer Review

Here's my review for Bryan Singer's Jack the Giant Slayer starring Nicholas Hoult, Ewan McGregor, Ian McShane and Eleanor Tomlinson. The film is locally distrubuted by Warner Bros. Pictures Philippines and is now showing in all cinemas.

Yet again we are treated to another 'modern retelling' of classic fairy tales using big name stars, over-the-top VFX and quirk dialogue. We've already seen this in "Snow White and the Huntsman", "Hansel and Gretel Witch Hunters" and a host of other similar stuff. This movie however plays with the mythology and does so admittedly unlike the other two which really tried it's very best to do serious stuff.

Ewan McGregor is Brave Knight Elmont in "Jack the Giant Slayer"

Ewan McGregor (“Star Wars” trilogy, “The Impossible”) stars as the king’s most trusted knight Elmont who is tasked to bring the princess back from the giant beanstalk, in New Line Cinema's 3D fantasy, action-adventure “Jack the Giant Slayer.”

In the film, an age-old war is reignited when a young farmhand unwittingly opens a gateway between our world and a fearsome race of giants. Unleashed on the Earth for the first time in centuries, the long-banished giants strive to reclaim the land they once lost, forcing the young man, Jack (Nicholas Hoult), into the battle of his life to stop them. Fighting for a kingdom, its people, and the love of a brave princess, he comes face to face with the unstoppable warriors he thought only existed in legend…and gets the chance to become a legend himself.
