Jack is dubbed 'Jack the Giant-Killer' for this feat and receives not only the giant's wealth, but a sword and belt to commemorate the event.Ī man-eating giant named Blunderbore vows vengeance for Cormoran's death and carries Jack off to an enchanted castle. Jack encounters a livestock-eating giant called Cormoran (Cornish: 'The Giant of the Sea' SWF:Kowr-Mor-An) and lures him to his death in a pit trap. The tale is set during the reign of King Arthur and tells of a young Cornish farmer's son named Jack who is not only strong but so clever he easily confounds the learned with his penetrating wit. 1711, and reprinted in The Classic Fairy Tales by Iona and Peter Opie in 1974.

1760 by John Cotton and Joshua Eddowes, which in its turn was based on a chapbook ca. However, what would appeal to anyone in this movie is hard for me to put my finger upon perhaps if you are a die-hard fan of anyone in the movie, but other than that, I just don't see the appeal.This plot summary is based on a text published ca. I ended up picking up my phone and playing some game during it as well, as I sort of lost interest in the storyline, which wasn't particularly solid to begin with, but I did manage to finish the movie. This movie was definitely not meant for me as the audience, and it was a very strained ordeal to get through it. As for the acting, well there was nothing exceptional or mentionable here, and not even Ben Cross could manage to lift up anything in this particular movie. I will say that the floating brick building was actually quite nicely made, so thumbs up for that at least.

The CGI effects in the movie were quite bad, especially the big dinosaur-like creatures. This is by far one of the more questionable movies from The Asylum that I have seen so far. I wasn't aware of that prior to obtaining the movie, and had I known, I wouldn't have wasted time or money on it. Mind you, that this is a The Asylum production, so that is a clear warning sign right there. You just sit there wondering how this could come to be. The story ends up being a very broken apart set of fragments that doesn't really add up to a greater picture or unity. It does however, pardon my French, manage to butcher up the entire story and try to put a weird, modern twist to it.

This is a story that borrows heavily from that story yes, but it does so in a very nonchalant way. I had expected somewhat of a new interpretation of the classic tale of Jack and the bean stalk, but alas, that was not to be. Well, this movie was nothing at all what I had expected it to be.
