Lachlan Coulson This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

Leofwine_draca Everything is bad about JACK THE GIANT KILLER, a rubbishy Asylum cash-in on the Hollywood blockbuster JACK THE GIANT SLAYER. This one has a contemporary setting and a beanstalk but otherwise goes through the usual cliches of characters with magical powers, giant CGI creatures, and general samey predictability. This film was shot in Manchester, of all places, with a bunch of actors who display some of the most wooden acting I can remember seeing in a long time; their performances, if they can be described as such, are frankly an embarrassment. The only high point is in the presence of Jane March as the villain of the hour, ageing but still impossibly gorgeous after all these years.

just-woot I watched this recently on Netflix or Amazon Prime, I forget which. It was absolutely one of the worst movies I had ever seen. I was definitely duped into watching it because I thought it was the one out in theaters recently.The acting is complete garbage, and I am not going to spend even another minute on this piece of tripe. I will not "advertise" this for the owner/director, even with a One-Star rating that I give it. My wife and I could not even watch it to completion, it was THAT bad.Many people will be confused by this title. Too bad we can't demand a refund of the rental cost.You have been warned. I cannot express strongly enough what a POS this is.

Billy Llama Like other reviewers, I made the terrible mistake of watching this disaster of a movie. The only actor that can carry a remotely believable dialogue is Ben Cross (Chariots Of Fire). The rest of the actors look like they are reading off a teleprompter.The CGI is just as bad, or worse than any made for TV SCI-FI movie, and leaves me wondering how are movies like this profitable? Please don't make the same painful mistake, watching this movie thinking it was Jack The Giant Slayer.(Ben Cross is the only reason it deserves a 1/10)

Paul Magne Haakonsen Well, this movie was nothing at all what I had expected it to be. I had expected somewhat of a new interpretation of the classic tale of Jack and the bean stalk, but alas, that was not to be.This is a story that borrows heavily from that story yes, but it does so in a very nonchalant way. It does however, pardon my French, manage to butcher up the entire story and try to put a weird, modern twist to it. But it just failed in every aspect.The story ends up being a very broken apart set of fragments that doesn't really add up to a greater picture or unity. You just sit there wondering how this could come to be.Mind you, that this is a The Asylum production, so that is a clear warning sign right there. I wasn't aware of that prior to obtaining the movie, and had I known, I wouldn't have wasted time or money on it. This is by far one of the more questionable movies from The Asylum that I have seen so far.The CGI effects in the movie were quite bad, especially the big dinosaur-like creatures. They were just laughable. I will say that the floating brick building was actually quite nicely made, so thumbs up for that at least.As for the acting, well there was nothing exceptional or mentionable here, and not even Ben Cross could manage to lift up anything in this particular movie.This movie was definitely not meant for me as the audience, and it was a very strained ordeal to get through it. I ended up picking up my phone and playing some game during it as well, as I sort of lost interest in the storyline, which wasn't particularly solid to begin with, but I did manage to finish the movie. However, what would appeal to anyone in this movie is hard for me to put my finger upon; perhaps if you are a die-hard fan of anyone in the movie, but other than that, I just don't see the appeal.
