Review of Jack the Giant Slayer (2013) by Jfloyd3 W — 26 Dec 2013

Not as 'fee fi fo dumb' as many critics would have one believe ?(?though I'm not ?watching? it in a theater which actually is where such a film should be seen?)?..? l love (at least filmically) the era in which ?the story? is situated?.

. ? ?it has quite an impressive, inventive 'look'.. engaging, entertaining & fun to watch - sometimes even funny.. very effective cinematography & editing.. ?appropriately unmemorable? yet supportive soundtrack.

. emotionally well-paced? if a bit predictable (not simply because we have often heard the fairy-tail)?.. ?with? more than merely adequate acting? (a notable supporting cast much less the lesser known 'leads') & directing ( Bryan Singer)?.

. ?somewhat obvious but nice ending, set up for a follow-up (ooopps, jumped the gun, would have made for a good ending - & cut off a half-hour.. still a nice ending - a nice quadruple ending).. ?but it's the? ?'look' that makes this film - "it's a hell of a view".

. (?maybe ?more later - though it's gotten long enough especially for a tertiary reviewer)...
