Surprisingly incoherent and boring

Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

This has become one of my all time favorite movies... great costumes, excellent CG, fantastic story, and a powerful cast...This is a must see!

A very boring, empty and forgettable movie. The characters are caricatures that do not instill empathy, anger or admiration. There came a time when I did not care one bit if the hero and the girl finished devoured by giant. And then, when a character dies there in the middle of the film, and others cry under their symbolic grave, I could not care less. The film did not offer enough time for to know better that character, and so, I can't have felt sorry for him.Moreover, the only female character throughout history is just a "damsel in distress" - In other words, a useless woman - and this movie is 2013, which shows how uninspired and unoriginal this film is.Here the giant creatures are one-dimensional, no depth, and too stupid villains to gain some kind of reverence to the public. What the hell was the giant rip-off "Gollum of two heads"? It was supposed to be funny? It was supposed to be scary? And why the hell there are only male giant? How the hell they reproduce? How they emerged as society with only males? Why are there no giant children?Yes, if they wanted to show many giants, not just one, they should have been concerned about these simple questions. As we see, this film is so weak that not bothered to bring a credible society to the viewer. This movie It's very bullshit, even for children.

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..

The princess wants adventure, but is very much a pawn in the film. Constantly being rescued from bullies, the rain, the cooking pot, the beanstalk, the giant, and then her controlling father. Every film doesn't have to be feminist, but I mean, is she nothing more than 'the prize'? I know it was just fairytale fun but each little bit helps to further the myth that women need male protection. Especially protection provided by a clod like Jack. Jack, though very brave was more than a little dim, in this version he went to market to sell a perfectly good horse and a cart for some thatch to mend the leaky roof. Thatch. Jack is a farmer. Sell the horse and cart to buy some thatch? it's like a fisherman selling his fishing boat to buy a sardine. He proved handy with his sword though, and that's all that matters in the end.
