Apparently, Hollywood amid avid reinterpreting classic tales that has worldwide for the consumption of the big screen. Well ... at least in recent years we see characters who have known since childhood kind of Alice (from Wonderland), daughter of the snow, the red hooded girl, to Hansel and Gretel displayed in storefront theaters. In order to attract a broader market segment, so the producers had to 'as good ' changed the course including by making eccentric, more full of twists, or even bring it to a more extreme, bloody. This has been done by the previous tale and the film adaptation of Jack and the Giant Slayer is ready to follow the films. On the basis of the classic fairy tale "Jack and the Beanstalk" and "Jack and the Giant Killer", a film directed by Bryan Singer received a PG-13 rating (13 years and over) that would make the audience not to expect too much will have the pleasure of sorts Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters despite the massive injections bujetnya indicate the presence of fancy action scenes and jor-rod. However, can we expect more of the Jack and the Giant Slayer just by relying on the fact that this is a large scale production? Hmmm ... after I saw it myself - in 3D, of course - then I suggest you should push expectations to the lowest point.
Take a background in medieval times, the audience was introduced to Jack (Nicholas Hoult - we just met in Warm Bodies) and Isabelle (Eleanor Tomlinson) will be a 'major tour' when we ventured in land of the giants. Kala was a kid, both Jack and Isabelle often dipendengarkan tale about the giants who fought heavily against humanity which the winning side with the humans so giant was forced to flee to a place that is located above the clouds. After a bit of discussion about the background of the two main characters, the setting time of the film was jump 10 years into the future. He lived with his uncle after his beloved father facing the Almighty One. In order to renovate the house, he went to town to sell his horse. A monk showed interest and replace it with beans instead of currency. She's supposed to, this magical beans. It's true, it's beans grow into a giant tree suddenly exposed after rain. Sprout up through the clouds, the trees destroyed house Jack and 'kidnap' her a chance 'stop'. By Isabelle - which is the only daughter of King Brahmwell (Ian McShane) - stranded in the land of the giants, then of course you can guess the movie will move to where.
Jack and the Giant Slayer is one proof of how Hollywood is too lazy to explore fresh ideas and choosing to rely on technology for the sake of the success of the film. The officials seemed to say, "if we could scrounge just to spit dollar special effects, then why do we have to think of something spinning a good story?." Of course, this is not a decision that has no risk. In addition to the budget that must be launched as high as the tree from Jack beans, cultivated in the absence of a good script - which also means, do not expect a strong characterizations of each character in the film - the film would be a very easy to forget. Tilled script by Darren Lemke keroyokan, Christopher McQuarrie and Dan Studney really flat and 'blah'. Not the slightest provided surprises and suspense that is able to make the audience linger staring at a movie screen for 114 minutes. Early half of the film runs very boring (and exhausting). Too long-winded in telling the story even though it should be delivered in short, dense, and of course, full of spirit.
Everything was just starting to feel (a little) fun when Jack and the troops sent from the kingdom - including Elmont (Ewan McGregor), the knight, and Roderick (Stanley Tucci), an adviser to the king - began to enter the world of the giants. Well, at this point, the audience begins to see a physical from the giants were not at all pleasant to look at and tend disgusting. Utilization of motion capture technology - instead of using a conventional CGI - could create a giant facial expressions and movements are convincing. It certainly did not escape from the performance of a very slick Bill Nighy's role as a leader in bringing the giant herd. In fact, even if the original was never physically present in the film, Nighy appear more impressive than the ranks of other players such as Hoult and Tomlinson with a plate chemistry, McGregor that her hair always neatly though battered here and there, or antagonistic Tucci as the party of the man who did not give greget .
If there is praise worthy attributed to Jack and the Giant Slayer, then it is the use of special effects. At least, the movie watchers will not wonder where his running budget of $ 195 million were disbursed in order to realize this project. From the first minutes, the film was seen as a colossal product with a sprinkling of fancy special effects. Unfortunately, this does not mean the audience will get an exciting and thrilling, absolutely not. The scene matches did not leave an impression. If there really well and made himself quite stunned, then it is the final battle involving humans and giants. Bryan Singer save the best at the end of the story. Unfortunately, after the minutes were drab and exhausting (likely 'snoozfest'), the buzz at the end was not really able to save the film. I was already tired to keep up. Suppose Singer summarize 20 minutes shorter, Jack and the Giant Slayer might be more palatable to follow.
