Jack The Giant Slayer



This is a modern spin on a fairy tale which we all may have heard. An adventure movie based on an ancient war between humans and the giants. The film tells the story about a farm boy named Jack who grows up hearing the legend of King Erik, who defeated giants of Gantua, a land between heaven and Earth.There is also a princess,Isabelle, who grows up hearing the same story from her mother and yearns for an adventure. In her quest to seek an adventure she runs from the royal fineries to see how the world really works. As for the giants, they are massive,ugly, villainous  and are waiting for another chance to take over the world below. With a perfectly timed storm (as seen only in movies) the war is reignited when Jack unintentionally reopens the gateway for these giants onto earth by exposing the beans to rain.

The giants have been waiting for their revenge and are ready to reclaim the land they once lost to humans. It is upto Jack now to save the world and the princess who is captured by the giants. And just when you feel the end is close and  predictable..wait for it..there is more to come!!! The movie, even though it is a fantasy, has its share of violence (though nothing very graphic). It is an entertaining adventure, well acted and a reasonably fun tale to watch with great sound and 3D effect. So movie buffs who want to see a fantasy adventure should give this one a shot.

It is a fast paced movie with the entire tale being rolled into 115 minutes.

I would say fee-fi-fo-fum..Watch the movie for some good fun.
