Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: B- --
Jack the Giant Slayer rolls along at a reasonable pace, though it has a couple of slow spots and false endings. It adds up to an entertainment that is simply okay, but not the epic fantasy that appears to be what was intended.

Rating: 2/5 --
Singer's latest glides across your eyes and swoops past your ears, but leaves no lasting impression other than one of dull, partial adequacy.

As Jack, Nicholas Hoult gives this bean-crazy farm boy a glint of mischief that matches up well with Ewan McGregor, as the heroic knight Elmont.
Rolling Stone
Rating: 2/4 --
It is so baffling why Singer, a noted moviemaker with an adventurous eye for cinematic curiosity, was drawn to such an uneventful and spotty computerized kiddie caper. This swashbuckling escapist eggroll of a movie is all dismissive chatter and static

SF Crowsnest
Jack the Giant Slayer is a clever spin on a familiar fairy tale, full of carnage and mayhem with a pinch of self-awareness. It never takes itself too seriously but is all the more fun for it.

Overall, Jack the Giant Slayer felt like the rough draft of a movie that could actually have been pretty awesome if somebody had actually thought about the story a little bit.

Watchable in a ridiculous way, and director Bryan Singer supplies quite a bit of entertainment bang for your buck.

Product Description:
The beloved fairy tale JACK AND THE BEANSTALK gets the big-screen treatment courtesy of director Bryan Singer (VALKYRIE) and screenwriters Darren Lemke (SHREK FOREVER AFTER), Christopher McQuarrie (THE USUAL SUSPECTS), and Dan Studney in this fantasy adventure about a naïve farm boy who attempts to rescue a beautiful princess from a race of vengeful giants. When Jack (Nicholas Hoult) inadvertently opens a passageway that allows giants to cross into our reality, the towering titans stake their claim on the world of humans. Should they succeed, Jack's kingdom will be but the first of many to fall. Now, in order to save his people and rescue a noble princess, Jack must summon every ounce of bravery to drive out the invading giants.
