Director Brian Singer's coming out again makes people look forward to it, but Singer's hands-on experience did not inject too much life into the film. Brian Singer, who successfully created the "X-Men Series", has no brilliant record in the past ten years. A "Superman Returns" is just visually better than the old version, and there is nothing unexpected in nature. Singer was subsequently lobbied by Tom Cruise to go to Germany to film the same tepid "Assassination of Hitler." This time, "Jack the Giant Slayer" was regarded by the majority of movie fans as a pre-screening work before the release of "X-Men Prequel 2", so it was appetizing. However, in terms of film effects, Singer's works are not essentially different from the standards of third-rate directors under the Hollywood industrial system.
The story of "Jack and the Magic Bean" has long been a household name. The focus of the film is how to redefine the classics and bring plots and visual sights beyond people's imagination to the film. Obviously Brian Singer took the safest and most conservative route, which made the film doomed to be mediocre. The villain's conspiracy in the film is too naive, which directly lowers the audience's IQ. As Hollywood’s biggest conservative criminal, Disney has already launched Tim Burton’s version of "Alice in Wonderland" many years ago. It can be seen that the low IQ and small freshness have long gone out of the market, but Singh still took the old path and filmed "Superman Returns." It's exactly the same, "Jack the Giant Catcher", which is seriously lacking in highlights.
The story of the film is relatively sparse, and many bridges give way to action scenes and visual effects, which makes the film seem particularly watery. Jack always seems to be playing soy sauce in the film, the bad guy Roderick did not create difficulties for the protagonist while climbing, and the role of the captain of the guard is even more inexplicable. The giant's weakness was too big, and he immediately crawled at the touch of a remote control. On the whole, the relationship between the characters is terrible.
In terms of visual effects, the film also lacks merits. The texture of human clothing and armor is slightly lacking, and the protagonist is too clean and not like a farmer. The visual effect of the magic bean when it grows up lacks visual impact, and the magic atmosphere is not rendered sufficiently. The texture of the magic bean tree looks like rubber, which makes this journey of salvation a bit of a play. The giant bridge segment uses Cameron's "Avatar" real-time generation technology, which is quite realistic. Although the director added all kinds of disgusting and heavy tastes, it was not interesting at all.
Although a large number of British actors were used in the performance of the film, it did not achieve the artistic effects of "Lord of the Rings" and "Harry Potter". There is very little room for actors to play in the film. Although stars such as Ivan McGregor, Stanley Tuzzi and Evan Blaner have good acting skills, they cannot bring enough vitality to the film.
Overall, "Jack the Giant Catcher" was a terrible attempt. The film failed to redefine this classic fairy tale, and the visual effects failed to make up for the lack of core power of the film. The problem with the film is that the main creative is too conservative and lacks sufficient ambition. (The movie goes crazy/filled, please indicate the source for reprinting)
