Ok, so this movie comes in 2D and 3D, the later is a tiny little better and the 3D only really comes to life at the last 20 min or so of the movie and has a running time of 1hr 40min aprox.
The movie is a Hollywood take on the popular kids tale "Jack and the magic beans" ;the main idea of the film goes like this: Jack is in the market and gets into trouble by defending a young lady´s honor that turns out to be the princess who later in the night goes to Jack´s house in order to thank him then a big storm comes down and just so happens that some beans got inside his bag during the market incident this start to grow insainly quickly when are touched by water, a big plant stands in the place that now used to be his house taking the princess all the way to the top so now the King sends Jack and a group of knights to rescue the princess, without knowing what kind of danger is waiting for them on the top.
The film is very enterteining, and Nicholas Hoult (Jack) does a nice job playing a humble farmer boy, Ewan McGregor also brings a fresh performance, Stanley Tucci´s performance may come out too cliché and at times too exagerated but giving the fact that is a kid tale becomes understandable; my only real critique would be the ending ,without spoiling anything i will only say that it feels too rush, i was expecting some epic climax to the story.
Overall with good performances and a movie that shouldn´t be taken seriously "Jack the Giant Slayer" succeds at being a nice "weekend film" to watch in family, i give this a 7/10
