Strengths
It is the interesting screen play and the sequences which keeps the undemanding audience in the seat..Though the story is simple of rescuing the princess and fight against evil..it is overshadowed by some exciting performances from the lead cast ....The set pieces are brilliant and CFX is good to the fairy tale story...It was taken utmost care ....the Giant living land, the whisking bean, the bean bridge between the sky and earth, the two headed giant and his fellas....are fun to watch....From the starting to the end..it keeps the pace....Music and photography are two strong pillars of the movie..which make our mind relieved from the word Bore!!!!....
Hoult is perfect and cool as Jack..and his scenes with Tomlinson..shares good.screen chemistry...He does it quite comfortable with other senior cast..Tomlinson is gorgeous as princess and added adequate contribution for the fun movie..she is hot and beautiful with charming face..Ewan Mc Gregor, Rucci and Mc shane ..Billy night played their part perfectly and justified their versatility....Bryan Singer has given a entertaining fairy tale story after few super hero's and reality hero's crossing Hollywood
Weakness
It is little awkward ...the movie feels like cinematic baby sitting material...little work on characterization and few more unquestionable scenes , the Jack movie would had potential of turning into money spinner..the CFX is good but in few parts it is not clear or shoddy..it resembles few movies like Lord of the rings, Wrath of Titans, John carter.....
But over all, Jack , the Giant slayer will find its audience being reasonably fun and frolic
Verdict: 6/10( 1 for Hoult & Tomlinson, 1 for casting Performance, 1 for CFX, 1 for Music , 1 for Photography and 1 for fun quotient)
Movie canvas Punch: Jack the Giant slayer...f(u)antastic fairy tale...
