Audiences have been spoilt for choice recently if they’re
looking for an action film based on a classic fairytale. The likes of Hansel
and Gretel and Snow White have been re-imagined and put into a movie that would
be more enjoyable to fans of action. Here we have Jack and the Beanstalk being
told slightly differently, in Jack, The Giant Slayer. Unfortunately, a large
number of cringe-inducing cliché’s and far too much forced humour hold this
flick back from reaching the level of entertainment set by others in this
category.
