Jack the Giant Slayer

[madmarva]

Jack the Giant Slayer is a really fun movie. It's a lot better than what I had imagined. The princess is really fetching, Hoult is good as a burgeoning hero and Ewan McGregor is excellent as. Knight. The Giants worked much better in the film than the way they came off in the commercials.

While it is not as fine a film as Princess Pride and has a different tone, something about the film reminded me of the Rob Reiner classic. There is violence, but it's not too graphic. Kids 8 and over would probably really love the movie.

I have never seen one commercial or preview for this film. Seems like WB really just kind of half-arse released it. Maybe they gave in to the Oz hype or something.

I've seen about 50 bajillion commercials here. I know because my daughter says "I WANT TO SEE IT!" every time it airs.

Maybe I'm watching the wrong TV channels. I seriously have only seen the poster and a few stills online since it was released.

Yea, Chris, something must be up with you. I can quote lines now I've seen trailers so much here.

I'm officially out of the loop. Now Oz, THAT has been on every other commercial. And the caveman animated movie, "Meet the Croods" or whatever it is. But no Jack...at all.

I am looking forward to this film,I still like the 1962 version with Kerwin Mathews also.
