Jack the Giant Slayer (2013) Movie Synopsis

"Jack the Giant Slayer" tells the story of an ancient war that is reignited when a young farmhand unwittingly opens a gateway between our world and a fearsome race of giants. Unleashed on the Earth for the first time in centuries, the giants strive to reclaim the land they once lost, forcing the young man, Jack (Nicholas Hoult) into the battle of his life to stop them. Fighting for a kingdom, its people, and the love of a brave princess, he comes face to face with the unstoppable warriors he thought only existed in legend-and gets the chance to become a legend himself.-- (C) Warner Bros

Movie Reviews

• Nigel Floyd - Time Out : A mash-up of old-school heroism, pantomime villainy, starstruck lovers and post-'Shrek' archness, it's more exhausting than exhilarating.
• David Edelstein - Vulture : It's fast, rousing, and blessedly brief - under two hours instead of, say, nine in three bladder-straining installments.
• Peter Rainer - Christian Science Monitor : Not awful, not wonderful, Jack the Giant Slayer is a midrange fairy tale epic that's a lot more ho-hum than fee-fi-fo-fum.
• Tom Charity - CNN.com : Jack the Giant Slayer is slight, but consistently amusing.
Mary F. Pols - TIME Magazine : The movie feels so much like a video game that your fingers instinctively itch to do something, though a Jack video game isn't one we'd really want to play.
