As the giants prepare to kill their remaining prisoners, Roderick walks in and enslaves the giants with the crown. There, Jack finds the imprisoned Isabelle and Elmont. Jack follows the giant to the giants' stronghold, where the two-headed giant leader, Fallon, has killed Crawe. Meanwhile, Roderick's group encounters two other giants one eats Wicke, but before they can do the same to Roderick, Roderick dons the magic crown. Jack's group is trapped by a giant, who takes everyone prisoner except Jack. At the top, they discover the giants' realm and decide to split into two groups: one with Jack, Elmont, and Crawe, and the other including Roderick and Wicke, but not before Roderick forcibly takes the remaining beans from Jack (although Jack manages to save one for himself). As they climb, Roderick and Wicke cut the safety rope, intentionally killing some of the knights. Jack, Roderick, and Roderick's attendant Wicke volunteer to join the king's knights, led by Elmont and his second in-command, Crawe, and climb the beanstalk in search of Isabelle. As it rains, one of the beans takes root and grows into a massive beanstalk that carries the house and Isabelle into the sky as Jack falls to the ground.
Likewise, Jack's uncle scolds him for being foolish before throwing the beans on the floor and leaving the house.ĭetermined to be free, Isabelle sneaks out of the castle and seeks shelter from the rain in Jack's house. Back at the castle, Isabelle quarrels with her father, King Brahmwell, as she wants to explore the kingdom, but he wants her to stay and marry Roderick.
The monk offers Jack some magic beans he stole from Roderick as collateral for Jack's horse. Meanwhile, Lord Roderick returns to his study, only to find that a monk has robbed him. There, Jack spots Isabelle and develops a crush on her, after defending her honor from a group of hooligans. Ten years later, Jack goes into town to sell his horse to support his uncle's farm.
At the same time, Princess Isabelle becomes fascinated with the same legend. Like I said in my last review- sit back and enjoy the ride, because thats what it's meant to be: not a deep thinking film.In the Kingdom of Cloister, jack, a young farm boy, is fascinated by the legend of Erik, an ancient king who defeated an army of invading giant from a realm in the sky by controlling them with a magical crown. If you've ever played the classic PlayStation One game 'Legend of Dragoon', you'll notice a little resemblance in the war between humans and giants (gigantos in that game). Lets just say, the apple doesn't fall far from the beanstalk! I will for sure see this epic fantasy adventure again. Bryan Singer directs, and we all know he's responsible for 'X-Men'. Nicholas Hoult plays the lead, and he holds the role well. There is not just one giant in this film, there are many, and there are plenty of action sequences to keep you engrossed. I won't give away anything about the plot but you should already know the idea of what it is. This film is as epic as 'Lord of the Rings', and if you like that kind of thing, you should enjoy this one. Except, maybe this one is geared more towards the gentlemen of the crowd, where the former was the opposite. Think of it kind of like the recent Kristin Stewart film, 'Snow White and the Huntsman'. 'Jack the Giant Slayer' is basically just a retelling of Jack and the Giant Beanstalk, with some twists. I just saw this at a special screening and since I'm wring reviews more often, I thought it'd be perfect to share my thoughts on this one.
