'Jack the Giant Slayer' takes the story of 'Jack and the Beanstalk' and modernizes it in a way. It's about a boy who accidentally rips open a portal between the world of the giants and the world of normal-sized people. People versus giants? Sounds like it could be cool. With great CGi, there could be some incredible battles- wait, the CGI is terrible? Nevermind!
It's true. This movie just looks a little too goofy to be taken seriously, even if it isn't that bad. The limits of CGI are getting pushed so far and so fast that it really shows when a movie isn't up to par. People will tune out before they've even finished the trailer. This movie lost one hundred and eleven million dollars. Do you have any idea how many Big Macs that is?
