JACK THE GIANT KILLER BEN CROSS FREE
The fact that the original stories are in public domain has meant they are free to serve up copycat works. They readily leapt aboard the early 00s spate of adult fairytale adaptations – Red Riding Hood (2011), Mirror Mirror (2012), Snow White and the Huntsman (2012) and Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters (2013) – with the likes of Grimm’s Snow White (2012), Hansel & Gretel (2013), Sleeping Beauty (2014) and Little Dead Rotting Hood (2016). The Asylum have also jumped in before with various films adapted from classic literary works, including their own low-budget versions of War of the Worlds (2005), King of the Lost World (2005) based on The Lost World (1912), Journey to the Center of the Earth (2008), Sherlock Holmes (2009), 3 Musketeers (2011) and King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table (2017) when the respective big-budget versions of these were made. Zombies (2012), Age of the Hobbits (2012) and Atlantic Rim (2013), among others. The Asylum’s mockbusters have included the likes of The Da Vinci Treasure (2006), Pirates of Treasure Island (2006), Snakes on a Train (2006), I Am Omega (2007), Transmorphers (2007), Allan Quatermain and the Temple of Skulls (2008), The Day the Earth Stopped (2008), Death Racers (2008), 100 Million BC (2008), Sunday School Musical (2008), The 18 Year Old Virgin (2009), Paranormal Entity (2009), The Terminators (2009), Almighty Thor (2011), Battle of Los Angeles (2011), Abraham Lincoln vs. The Asylum is a company that specialises in ‘mockbusters’ – low-budget films that attempt to copy the titles of more successful big-budget studio releases and exploit their free publicity by being released at the same time, not to mention seek to fool unsuspecting browsers into thinking they are watching the other film. There she determines to subjugate the Earth below, with her beasts proving invincible to all military firepower brought against them. When Jack’s girlfriend Lisa Russell plants another beanstalk to come after him, Selina takes the opportunity to travel back down with her beasts. In trying to find a way back down the beanstalk, Newald takes Jack to see the sorceress Selina in search of a solution. Newald believes that only a few days have passed since he came to the land of the clouds and is amazed to see that Jack, who he left as an infant, is now a full-gown adult. He takes refuge at a floating castle and meets its owner – none other than his father Newald Krutchens. Jack is then snatched by the beanstalk’s tendrils and carried up to a strange land in the clouds. Jack throws them away but is startled to later find they have grown into a giant beanstalk that stretches up into the sky. When opened, the package proves to contain beans. The lowest rating I can give it is one star? There should be one that has negative stars so I could give it a -3 stars.Jack Mason is celebrating his eighteenth birthday when he is interrupted by a crazy man who says he was a friend of his Jack’s father and insists on leaving a package for him.
JACK THE GIANT KILLER BEN CROSS MOVIE
It's not qui te as bad as the last movie I reviewed, almost, but not quite. There is only one good thing I could say about this movie. There are no scenes in the movie that look even remotely like the back of the artwork for the DVD case.
The artwork is fake, nowhere in the movie is Jack holding anything that even resembles a sword, much less two. I have an extensive collection of the best movies, by genre, and wanted to see this one to see how it stacks up. Some of the computer generated special effects were barely ok, but overall, not so much so. This movie was filmed in England according to the credits, and maybe it's just me, but that is some of the worst acting I've ever seen.
Movies like this will make you really appreciate Hollywood. If you purchase this movie, DON'T BLAME ME. PLEASE Read this review before spending your hard earned money!!!
