The ancient war between humans and a race of giants is reignited when Jack, a young farmhand fighting for a kingdom and the love of a princess, opens a gateway between the two worlds. Jack the Giant Slayer is not perfect it has some clunky cgi and a bit of cheesy one liners and humor but the over the top action, some terrific cgi effects and the good perfomances from the cast make for a good and enjoyable sci-fi adventure from director Bryan Singer (X-Men, X-Men 2, X-Men: Days of Future Past and X-Men: Apocalypse). (7.5/10)

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

This was a fun movie to watch. It may be a bit intense for a younger audience though. I was surprised that those that "always get their comeuppance" received it early on and really left no villains other than the giants. I do admit I laughed hard when a human was dealt with from a giant. Of course, I'm also the kind of viewer that asks why were the repeating arrow shooters not used early in the battle? To much military critique from me.I found this to be very entertaining but I'm left hanging at the end....What happens to the giants? You see them kneeling and that is it. Next thing is the bedtime story.

For a movie that was supposed to entertain its audiences, 'Jack The Giant Slayer' deserved to be rated as a 4 star movie because it offers the fun to the audiences as a rapid and nonstop thrilling movie.. Making a fairy tale and twist it a little into a movie that entertain its audiences, I thought Bryan Singer did a great job in here.. For cast perhaps there's not much well-known actors involved except Ewan McGregor, Stanley Tucci, and the future girl's heart-rob actor Nicholas Hoult.. Their performance just okay and they looks like they're having fun with their adventure in this movie.. For the story itself, I like how Bryan Singer almost wrapped this adventure in an hour and a half and instead of finishing it with an open ending for a sequel possibility, he adds the fun which is the climax of this movie in the last 30 minutes.. Overall, I like how it's made and it is a fun movie to be watched..
