Fee Fie Foe Fum! We smell a hit to come!
Reinventing and bringing together two classic Europeans fairy tales, JACK THE GIANT SLAYER tells the story of a young farmer’s son, Jack (Nicholas Hoult), who is prone to daydreaming and yearns for adventure outside his mundane farm. But he gets more than he bargained for when he accidentally opens up the gateway to the world of the Giants, who were thought to only be a part of local legends. When the adventure-seeking Princess is accidentally swept up on the beanstalk and captured by the Giants, it’s up to Jack and the King’s men to rescue her; however, unbeknownst to them all, one of the King’s men is a traitor!
JACK THE GIANT SLAYER brings together everything you could ever want in a movie: action, adventure, memorable characters, humour and just enough romance to keep things interesting without getting too mushy. It also cleverly sews together myth and reality leaving you wondering if there’s any truth to the other fairy tales you grew up hearing.
We wish more movies were as fun to watch as this one!
