Movie Review on Jack and the Giant Slayer

Hey lovies!

I'm back with another review.. but this time something outside of makeup and beauty. Its my Movie Review on Jack and the Giant Slayer.

Jack and the Giant Slayer

Just watched it a few hours ago with my friends at SM North Edsa. Actually, I didn't have any back knowledge about this movie and I only had a glimpse of the trailer. But the poster on the cinema area caught my eye, so I told me friends if we could watch it. We entered the cinema kinda late and sat way up in the front and sat on inclined chairs. It felt like we were watching it on 3D but it was actually 2D. 

So moving on...

Graphics were nicely put together. The movie didn't give off any dark feel to it which is nice since I've noticed that most movies that are out already have been pretty dark. For me, the director did a good job in twisting the traditional story of Jack and the Beanstalk. The story basically centers on Jack who meets a Princess named Isabelle who is a descendant of a great king who stopped giants from destroying his kingdom and eating all  its townspeople. Flashback...The great king had this crown you see which has powers. Anyone who wears it will have the power and control over the giants. So having the crown he ordered the giants to go back up the bean stalk and to stay there. He then had his men cut down the beanstalk to make sure his kingdom would remain safe. Fast forward.. So Jack gets hold of some relic magic beans and accidentally get one of them wet.. leading to the growth of a beanstalk. (Who knew beanstalk could grow the fast! :O) Anyway.. Princess Isabelle gets stuck on the the beanstalk, taking her way up into the giants lair. 

Detour...  The animated giants looked really gross and dirty. irk.. There was this scene where a giant cook was preparing food for the other giants.. He picked some boogers out and ate them and with the same hand scratched his armpit with his fingers and smelled it.. really?? irk..

Oh I forgot to mention, the antagonist in the story who is to be wed the princess, is plotting against the king by taking the century old crown that could control the giants and having them obey his commands of destroying the kingdom. So then, we have the usual fighting scenes and stuffs going on... bad guy almost wins then good guys triumph over the bad guys.

In terms of major character casting, I love how Nicholas Hoult from Warm Bodies gets to be the lead role in the movie.. aaahhh yes.. dreamy guy you are :)) And also, Ewan McGregor plays the reliable protector of the princess. Other casts includes Eleanor Tomlinson playing Princess Isabelle and Stanley Tucci as the antagonist. The movie didn't have a deep story-line but I really enjoyed watching it. 

I was laughing and giggling and was at the edge of my seat towards the end of the movie. I had a good time watching this and it was worth watching! :)) Based on my whole movie viewing experience... 4 stars for me. 

Last note:

If you guys wanna watching something interesting and adventurous yet funny at the same time.. I recommend watching this! :D That's it for now.. 

Love,
