Aidan the Aspie Critic: Jack the Giant Slayer

I saw a new movie on Friday!


Fe Fi Fo Fum! It was Jack the Giant Slayer, a movie based on the stories of Jack and the Beanstalk and Jack the Giant Killer. It's about a young farm boy named Jack. Jack has had a fascination with Giants from a very young age, especially from a poem his Father used to read him about the legend of the evil Giants, magic beans that grow into massive beanstalks, and a magical crown that turns the warlike Giants into faithful servants of whoever wears the crown. The poem was supposed to be a fairy tale, BUT, when the 18 year old Jack goes to market to sell his horse, he is given magic beans for his horse by a very paranoid and mysterious monk. Well, Jack goes home with the beans but his uncle, (His father had died.) throws the beans away. Jack collected most of them, but 1 was lost. One night, the princess in disguise, (She also has had a fascination with Giants from a very young age and doesn't want to be a princess. Mostly because her father, The King, is forcing her to marry a stupid jerk guy named Rodrick. The princess's mother, The Queen, had passed away.) comes to Jack's hut in the rain and the lost bean accidentally gets wet, making it grow into a huge beanstalk! The princess gets caught up in the vines and goes up with the beanstalk! She ends up in the mysterious and dangerous land of the Giants! Can Jack, along with the stupid jerk guy Rodrick and some other guys, save the princess from the evil and ferocious Giants!? And, will the Giants find a way back to earth?

This was an EXCELLENT movie! It was also CRAZY intense! The giants are ugly, but awesome! There was something especially disturbing about the second head of the Two-Headed-King Giant. There were lots of giants flying at you because the movie was made for 3-D. (Luckily, I saw it in 2-D!) The Cinematography was great, the story was great, but it scared the (BEEP) out of me!!! There was also good humour so this was a very funny movie as well! It also had a twist ending that was probably leading up to a sequel! Anyway, Jack the Giant Slayer is a great movie, but don't take the little ones, it's SCARY!!! I'd give it 9 out of 10 stars! This movie was GIANT fun! (See what I did there?)

Have you seen Jack the Giant Slayer? What did you think of it? Tell me in the comments!
