So what did Jack and his beany friends do wrong? Just a fun silly adventure that pulls out a few story punches along the way. Not a perfect movie, not a masterpiece, not an Oscar contender. See, I actually wanted Jack the Giant Slayer to be a good movie. So instead I’m going to try something a little different. In an upcoming blog post I will talk about how much I dislike negative reviews and see them contributing little to the overall enjoyment of films and very much find them annoying. Now usually I don’t like to be negative about movies. I actually went in with high hopes believing that despite it’s status as a box office flop (think the shiny but little seen goodness of Pacific Rim… ok maybe not quite that good) that it was somehow still a decent movie.

Despite very much liking the actors Stanley Tucci, Ewan McGregor, and Nicholas Hoult, the movie managed to swallow them up in unconvincing CGI, lackluster dialogue, and sorry under-characterization. Well now I know what it’s like to be on the other side.
Often times I find myself reading scathing reviews after the movie (to be explained soon in a blog post) wondering how the reviewer can see so differently than I do.
I don’t care if it’s a big silly spectacle, usually I can find a way to enjoy it. It seems like every time a big expensive action/sci-fi/fantasy/comic book movie comes out I am excited to see it. Tonight we finally made up for that missed opportunity by renting it at home. A few months ago my wife and I went to see Jack the Giant Slayer in theaters but tickets were sold out that night so we ended up doing something else.
