So much average

Admirable film.

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

All of asylum movies are perfect works of genius. This, Jack The Giant Killer, no exception. It is brilliant. I'm fortunate enough to watch if free on YouTube (not youporn not porntube-- YouTube!) and the computer I've currently borrowed (I'm broke...dog)...well its old and so there's a little image delay sound often too low to hear so I listen to BS cds in place of movie sound.... when I watch movies and videos online...anyway back to my review... Jack The Giant Killer is awesome. Deep psychology here. Surreal ideas. Great actress acting and actors too. DIALOG, dang hot if you ask moi. YOU HAVE TO SEE THIS! AND THEN WATCH Titanic 2. Its that good. Heavy. Far Out. My kinda deal. and yes i'm sober don't drink booze nor smoke pot nor take speed coke heroin nor psychadelics etc.-- that's why MY REVIEW is objective unlike others that diss this movie. (u should be ashamed)

Move over Ben Hur ,get out of the way Star Wars , this movie will not can not be stopped .If you have read any Negative critique of this fan based fantastic movie throw them out of your mind. Call the kids call grandma and gather around the flat screen you just bought from wal mart's .cook up two not one bag of popcorn because you're going to want more of everything .Not even the game of thrones can hold a flicker of a candle to this GOD SEND of a movie bravo,bravo,bravo . Cheers to the writer,cheers to the editor,cheers for costume design, Hell even craft service should get a ring for the super bowl champ effort of the film . When I was just a ladd back in Ireland I would spend my days picking seashells by the seashore for Suzy Sutherman ... And dreaming of the day that i would have the good fortune to experience a film like this .. what a joy to watch i have seen it 12 times at this point . But i promise all the gods of ODEN that i will watch it once a week until the day that I I'm called to the big movie house in the sky .

Jack the Giant Killer is one of Mark Atkins' finest achievements as a director and offers veteran star Ben Cross one of his best roles in years. This is arguably the most superb performance he has given since Chariots of Fire and will certainly please those who have followed his stunning career. The film is also a special effects extravaganza and benefits greatly from an excellent screenplay by the director himself. Location filming in England and some quite atmospheric cinematography provides a fitting look to the film, almost surrealistic and very powerfully disturbing. An exciting adventure in fantasy that never disappoints at any point in the story.

What a sad state of affairs when Asylum (the makers of this sad little tale) throws out garbage like this with a cast of people who aren't even trained in the art of acting. Wow, they must have taken the directors wife and kid hostage to make him do it. One consolation, this film of inferior quality should only have taken a couple of weeks to throw together so no real harm done.The story starts of with some Real Steal rip off material as Jack is fixing his robot (I know, lol...I don't remember Aliens style robots in any other version of Jack...Beanstalk before!) while struggling to say his lines and use his hands at the same time. lol yes, I remembered a classic bit of acting when we first see the ridiculous beanstalk in a field. There is a cop standing there with a very small crowd of people and he's right in front of them saying "nothing to see here, move along", I was like WTF! Nothing to see? Also the way he was holding this crowd of 4 people back was stupid. They are in a field and can stand anywhere but chose to all squeeze in front of the only cop there. Another thing is, when Jack gets nabbed by the tree branch thing and gets taken up in front of everyone. Not one person seems to notice it happening!! Garbage, garbage, garbage.I don't do the "this is the worst film ever" speech because it's cliché and rarely true. I have to say though, it's damn close. The acting is atrocious, the editing looks like it was done by a crack addict badly needing a fix and the music, the mf'king music! Where in the hell did they dig it up from? It sounded a bit like those,(I'm not too sure of the name) Stylaphone? Is that the thing Rolf Harris used to advertise? Well, it sounded like that.Not a film to be watched, even if your bored, drunk, high, low...in fact...just don't watch it. I did and I'm still queasy.
