Good day my friends and you guessed it it is that time for another movie review. Wow how time flies it just seemed like yesterday when I was giving you my last review but it can't be because it has been two weeks,hahahahahah!Kind of wasn't feeling well last week so I am sorry I didn't get a review out to you all and I really wanted to. But that was then and this now so we should get started with this weeks review and I might add the first review for the month of March. March, my gosh how time is flying by before you know it it will be summer and summer movie season, there I go again rambling on about nothing to do with what we are all here for. We are here for a movie review and we start off the month of March with a Big one or should I say Giant. This week we look at the new movie jack The Giant Slayer which stars Nicholas Hoult( X-Men First Class,Warm Bodies) as Jack, Eleanor Tomlinson( Alice In Wonderland) as Isabelle. This movie was directed by Bryan Singer( X-Men) and also stars Ewan McGregor( Trainspotting), Ian McShane( We Are Marshall) and Stanley Tucci(The Hunger Games). The popcorn is all popped and dripping with butter, our tickets bought, the lights are going down and the show is about to start so lets see how big of an adventure this is.
Jack(Hoult) and Isabelle(Tomlinson)are two people who are very much the same both looking for adventure, both loving the tale of the monks who created some magic beans that lead them to a place between Heaven and Earth. A place of giants, the giants came down to on the giant beanstalks created by the beans and started pillaging the the land of its gold and also developed a taste for eating humans. In order to save the people and send the giants back to where they came from King Erik had magical crown forged from the heart of a giant and this gave hime the power to control them & send them back to where they came. he than destroyed the beanstalk and was buried with the remaining magical beans and the crown to protect the land from ever experiencing this again.But Jack and Isabelle are not totally the same for Jack is a commoner and Isabelle is the princess who has a habit of wondering off in search of adventure while Jack only reads about them in books. One day while in the walls of the castle to sell off horse for his uncle to make some money Jack sells the horse to a monk who has stolen the now fabled beans from Isabelle's fiancé who planned to use them and the crown to take control of the giants and take over the kingdom. He gives Jack the beans as collateral for money owed on the horse and instructs him to take the beans to another monk for safe keeping. Mad at Jack for getting what he believes to be swindled, Jack's uncle tosses the beans to the floor but while he thinks that he has them all, one falls below the floor boards. Having escaped the palace in order to run away from marrying a man she doesn't love and look for some adventure Isabelle stumbles upon Jack's house on a rainy evening and before you know it the missing bean gets wet and a giant beanstalk grows taking the house and the princess with it.The king sends his guards on a mission to rescue the princess from wherever the beanstalk leads to along with Jack and her treacherous fiancé'. So what awaits the rescuers is that the princess is all right, the unveiling of a traitor and the legends are true about the giants and they haven't forgotten about what happened to them before at the hands of man. For they want revenge and are very eager to get it and eat some hum as while they are it and an unlikely hero named Jack is just as eager to stop them.
Well or snacks are almost done so maybe we should start to wrap this all up because we are not long from the end credits either. I found this movie to be very original in taking the tale of Jack And The Beanstalk and making it into something so not like what we are used to. The story was well written and directed by Bryan Singer also the special effects used were pretty decent for a movie such as this.The acting was ok it was not the strongest but it wasn't bad and what I thought though was that the dialogue could have used a little bit more humour because some of the humour used wasn't the greatest either.
So i guess the movie is almost done so I guess we should get down to the last little bits of this review and that is my rating. For this movie Jack The Giant Slayer I would have to give it a 6.5 on the Justin Scale of Movies and that just puts it on the Pick-It list. It puts it anything lower than that it would not have been, but all in all not a bad movie, fairly entertaining and enjoyable an interesting take on the classic tale.
So the credits are rolling, or popcorn is done and everyone is leaving the theatre so I guess that calls it a wrap on this weeks review. As always my friends Good Morning, Good Afternoon, Good Evening and as aways Good Viewing I will see you all again at the movies.
