Jack the Giant Slayer - 2013 **


After how much I enjoyed 'Oz the Great and Powerful' I thought 'Jack the Giant Slayer' would be pretty good as well. I wasn't sure how they would 'modernise' the story of Jack but on the whole it couldn't of been closer if it had tried.
That annoying boy from 'About a Boy' is now all grown up and taking the main part of Jack, who feels a bit perturbed when he notices that a large beanstalk has sprouted in his house (he was entertaining the princess at the time and now she is at the op of the stalk) and decides to help the soldiers in their quest to find the princess at the top and also slaughter the massive troll who has probably taken her prisoner.
It's just a bit wishy-washy and nothing is really black and white. I didn't enjoy it.
