Cathardincu Surprisingly incoherent and boring

Nonureva Really Surprised!

Numerootno A story that's too fascinating to pass by...

Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Eric Stevenson With a fairy tale as famous as "Jack And The Beanstalk" it makes sense that we'd create a few movie versions made entirely about it. For a lot of the time, the film does in fact work. It's really let down by this ending. The story is that well Jack grows a beanstalk and finds not just one, but many giants living in the clouds above. They bring in some interesting ideas about religion and how it could be related to this story. Never thought I'd see that introduced, but it's still handled pretty well. I admit the CGI does look off in many places, especially the beginning.The ending is where it really loses it for me. I was really looking forward to see a big epic battle between the people and the giants. The plot features this magic crown which by some way mind controls the giants by whoever wears it. In the end, Jack wears it and he stops the giants from fighting. I really was looking forward to a big fight scene with everybody but unfortunately it ended because of this weird really unexplained item. It's then revealed to be a story said by Jack to his children and now it's modern times where giants are real. The buildup was good but it was mediocre because of that lame ending. **1/2

davidshults After watching this movie again after seeing it when it was released in 2013, I really enjoyed it as much or even more than I did then. The film honestly has really good pacing and I never found myself bored or disinterested in the film as the movie progressed. All of the scenes are balanced well and there aren't any that drag on longer than they should. The characters are relatable and I really love the interactions between the princess and Jack during the film. Their small moments in the movie are priceless and heartwarming. What I like most about the movie is the attention to detail for the time period of the movie. The setting is sometime after the plague and before Columbus set sail to the Americas after listening to dialogue about these events in the movie. I am guessing like 13th century England. But the castle, the technology and the lives of the people in the film are pretty accurate to the time period. Jack working as a tenant farmer for example was really common at the time. Also, there's a lot of arguments from the princess about societal roles that are really interesting to watch how the King and other's enforce the societal roles. I would watch again for sure because I loved the movie and wish more movies were made like this! 9/10

klenriquezphx This movie could have been instantly a cult classic like "never ending story" it had the magical feeling of "Hogwarts" and classic English story line of the crown I never give reviews to movies but this deserved one I didn't even know of this movies existence until a friend of mine showed me the trailer and i was instantly amazed. Cast of Stars and up and coming ones. plot line has many "what ifs" that we could write out a few more movies alone not to mention (spoiler alert) a sequel but with grandeur box office numbers were lackluster but DVD sales should be better i would revamp the movie with a re-release at theaters to reintroduce the film to others and re-market to increase sales ,

Nawed Farruk So i gave it a try today and here i am presenting with my very first review. :D After watching the movie, I felt like perhaps i expected a bit more b'Cox of the trailer and the fact that the film could have depicted more of an adventurous theme rather than flowing along the cliché.The special effects were too obvious to pick at, the slow moving and dead story-line fails to engage the audience throughout the movie, no surprise element is there to indulge the par imaginations with the "giant world" {I wonder why they did not showed the world above and its inhabitants the different way, something that will flabbergast the viewers when they meet the giant world}.. Though i must admit that the movie had had some good parts, reason why I'm marking it 5 out of 10.My advice = Go and watch if you're full of boredom and have no choice but this movie, otherwise save your time.
