Jack : The Giant Slayer

     This film was alright. It had its moments. The story just seemed to fall short. Not enough with the giants, and when there was, it was a lot of gross things, like snot eating. Well, that was when they weren't fighting each other or humans.
     There was potential for a really good story. But cheesy dialogue, gross humor, and lack of spending time in the Giant's domain, caused the story to fall short of what it could have been. Oh, and naming three giants, Fe, Fi, and Fo was lame. Why, not include the Fairy Tale Fe, Fi, Fo, Fum, I spell the blood of an Englishman, or human even.
     Two other things bothered me. When Jack was in the water and the giant was coming, the water should have been making waves, and the ground should be trembling a bit, like a small quake. Physics, use them. Otherwise, these were the lightest giants ever.
     I guess the giants who were obviously long lived, and dirty and filthy because either all the females left, died out, or Giants just sprouted into being. No females in sight.
     Oh, and a rather lame ending too. My suggestion, wait to rent it or see it on TV.
