I know I have when I was a kid, this story was everywhere. It's pretty much a guarantee that if you grew up with fairy tales, you would certainly know the story of Jack and The Beanstalk. The US rating system is idiotic for sure. It also manages to have an insane body count without actually showing any blood.

Even the story was set in England, as we see in the end.īottom line: while not the best movie ever, it was certainly an entertaining blockbuster that retained a lot of the feel and plot of the original fairy tale. Also, for a movie 'made in USA' a great many English actors. Her father wasn't much either, but at least he had lines. The one that was rather disappointing was the princess, clearly a role that was not really thought out much more than 'cute damsel in distress, ready for the rescue'. Nicholas Hoult was OK as the hero of the story and Stanley Tucci, as usual, a great villain. It was funny to see actors Ewan McGregor and Ewen Bremner play in a film together again (Rents and Spud), but they had no real interaction. Instead, one can actually enjoy this on almost all levels. It has morals, it is pretty, actors play well and, most of all, it is not condescendingly stupid.

One can let children watch this in the same manner our grandparents were reading the original stories. Unlike many of Hollywood's reimaginings of fairy tales, this film is actually decent. He soon sets off on an adventure with the king's guards to rescue the princess, only to find that a mythical land filled with giants really exists. Soon, the beans take root with a giant stalk carrying away the princess and Jack's house. In the night, the Princess arrives, having run off to keep herself from marrying Roderick, who is clearly only interested in becoming king. He returns home with only a handful of beans given to him by a monk who claimed they were sacred, but that does little to impress his uncle, who tosses them away. Sent to the market by his uncle to sell their horse and buy thatch for their roof, Jack meets the beautiful Princess Isabelle, whom he rescues from ruffians.
