Jack the Giant Slayer




Cast: Nicholas Hoult(Jack), Eleanor Tomlinson(Isabelle),Stanley Tucci(Roderick), Ewan McGregor(Elmont), Ian McShane(King Brahmwell)
Director: Bryan Singer
Genre: Fantasy, Adventure, Drama
 
A good watch, wont disappoint you
 
Pluses:
  • I have always loved fantasy movies, the huge sets and special effects and quirky characters are a different taste all together on bigger screens. Enjoyed this flick the most out of all the weekend releases
  • The leads namely Nicholas Hoult, Eleanor Tomlinson as 'Jack' and 'Isabelle' respectively were mesmerizing together. A good pair(farmer and princess), well played characters
  • As usual the bad men bellieve they are smart until outsmarted by someone else. Stanley Tucci was funny traitor but convincing
  • Ewan McGregor as Elmont and Ian McShane as King Brahmwell were good supports fitting into the script well as a loyal soldier and a responsible King respectively
  • Screenplay was not overdone or didnt feel too kiddish, that helped in drawing audiences of all age group
  • 3D was just about fine, nothing magnificent
 
 
Minuses:
 
 
Nothing really much to dig
 
 
 
 
My Rating: 3/5

It’s a fun movie and if that’s what you go in expecting, then you’re going to be happy. At least that’s what I went in feeling like. Good review.

Cant agree more...Get a lot of after inputs from your reviews..quite an inspiration in itself..i loose out on a lot of history of the work done by the director or actors before its recent releases
Helps drawing in a lot of comparisons...gd write up yourself :)
