Jack the Giant Slayer- Fun Folktale

Jack the Giant Slayer is a fantasy action adventure from director Bryan Singer, which features Nicholas Hoult as Jack, the plucky protagonist who unwittingly participates in an evil plot to bring about a reunion of war between mankind and the resentful giants who live between Heaven and Earth- and at the same time must rescue the Princess in distress, who he happens to be in love with.

The story is simple and the stakes are high: save the Princess and stop the giants or all is lost. Bryan Singer, along with his talented cast, competently takes the audience on a whirlwind adventure filled with laughter, scares, thrills, the ever handsome Ewan McGregor, and most of all FUN.

Not the most artfully made film and certainly won't be in an Oscar pool any time soon, but it was definitely a pleasure to sit back, relax, and be taken on this adventure.
