To be honest, a familiar fairy tale like Jack and Douman, it took ninety minutes to tell it is almost the same as the original fairy tale (details are omitted), it seems that I have to kneel, if it really ends this way, it will probably be A one-star score, and later I looked at the watch and found that there was still nearly half an hour of content, and I felt that this film was not completely hopeless.
The information revealed in the first ninety minutes is very limited. Generally speaking, it can be known that giants generally have relatively low intelligence, generally have the habit of eating raw meat, are highly centralized, and have an extremely long natural life span.
I had fun in the next thirty minutes. Isn't this a Roman?
The Romans began to invade England in 55 BC, and did not withdraw until 407 AD. Therefore, if you substitute the real history for interpretation, the bean vine should refer to things like ships capable of carrying people, and the so-called Egyptian King Rick should be the king who led the people of England to overthrow Roman rule.
The armor worn by the giant has a strong Roman style, and there is even the mouth of truth on the breastplate of the two-headed ogre (blue fat man...). There is such iron proof that there should be no controversy.
Then the plot of the last thirty minutes was around the fifteenth century. The undead Romans invaded England again. Although they could not communicate, they finally communicated in a way to solve the problem of invasion.
Why is it similar to Sean the zombie? Because the plot of Zombie Sean is a bunch of low-intelligence, cannibalistic, immortal monsters, and finally found a way to coexist with the monsters. From this point of view, it is exactly the same as the story of the last thirty minutes.
It stands to reason that this film is based on a successful work, borrowing the setting of real history, and telling a well-known fairy tale. In fact, this mode has been successful before, it is the Twilight series. The Twilight series uses the story of a vampire, borrowing the setting of the real world (can use Google, open Cayenne), telling a life-and-death high school love story. So in fact, this movie has a lot of bad reviews, and it can only be said that it was necessary to waste 90 minutes like an American blockbuster.
I have to say, self-inflicted, can't live.
