Jack the Giant Slayer retells the story of an old English classic fairly tale about a young farm boy named Jack (played by Nicholas Hoult) who unwillingly opens a gateway between our world and a world up in the sky filled with a race of…

This was an enjoyable take on the Jack and the Beanstalk fairy tale. Full of humor and action that kids of all ages will enjoy.

For starters - I found it a really, really "queer" thing (indeed) that in Gantua, the land of giants, there were no females, at all. I guess that maybe, just like the magical beanstalk, these giants also grew out of beans, too, so there…

I enjoyed Ewan McGregor and Stanley Tucci as always. The story was ok and the giants were better. I'd rate this an average movie. More of a family/kid movie.

Kids will enjoy this one, but I found the the script silly and Nicholas Hoult isn't going to win any acting awards for this performance. I guess the giants were the best part of this movie.

A reimagining of the story of Jack and the Beanstalk. Excellent acting and special effects and and interesting storyline should make this a favourite for families.

Twist in the classic fairy tale is good but poorly executed. Stick with the other film version, read the story or watch Shrek for a better time. Instead of Fee-fi-fo-fum, I got Ho-ho-hum-hum with those disjointed dialogues and scene…

Okay, this movie was actually good. The story was engaging and the film was well done. Special effects could have been better though

Surprisingly a very good movie. Yes, it's the "Jack and the Beanstalk" story - however it is pure entertainment for young and old alike. Thoroughly enjoyable and worth a look.

If you liked the Hobbit, this was as good, I thought.

I really did not know if I was going to enjoy this movie and planned to return it without watching it. I am glad I did watch it because once I started, I couldn't stop until the end. Very entertaining and some funny comments that I…

Bryan Singer has expanded on the Jack and the Beanstalk story and successfully created a captivating fairytale. Thought it might be terrifying for my little ones: 10, 6, 4, and 2; but, they were entranced and suffered no nightmares…

Great fantasy movie, even for adults. Held me in my chair all the way through. I recommend it for anyone who enjoys fantasy movies.

Had some exceptional moments in a very enjoyable fantasy film. The giants were lots of nasty fun, they kept things moving, the metaphysics and presence of the beanstock was outstanding, and they kept the humor on a tight leash. Much better…

Special effects were okay but the dialogue was horrible.

Above average tame fantasy fable. Moments of slightly more violent than small children should see didn't seem to jive with the rest of the movie seeming like a childrens film. Just didn't really work on all levels for me to really like it.…

A pleasant surprise, though I do wish the director had just decided to stop trying to skirt the line between a PG rating and give the story more of an edge. This is the most recent of a flurry of fairy tale adaptations to come across movie…
