Jack¹ the Giant Slayer² is a 2013 American fantasy adventure film based on the fairy tales, "Jack the Giant Killer³" and "Jack and the Beanstalk". The film stars Nicholas Hoult and Ewan McGregor. The film tells the story of Jack, a young farmhand who must rescue a princess from a race of giants after accidentally opening a gateway⁴ to their world. The official Warner Bros. site says: "Unleashed⁵ on the Earth for the first time in centuries, the giants strive to reclaim⁶ the land they once lost, forcing the young man, Jack (Nicholas Hoult), into the battle of his life to stop them.…He comes face to face with the unstoppable warriors⁷ he thought only existed in legend… and gets the chance to become a legend himself."

 

Jack the Giant Slayer has received a mixed response from film critics. The film received a 53% approval rating on the review website, Rotten Tomatoes, which wrote: "It's enthusiastically acted and reasonably fun, but Jack the Giant Slayer is also overwhelmed by its digital effects and a story so middle-of-the-road as to be a bit bland⁸ and impersonal⁹." Conversely, Richard Roeper of the 'Chicago Sun-Times' said, "Jack the Giant Slayer is a rousing, original and thoroughly¹⁰ entertaining adventure." The flick¹¹ didn't bring in as much cash as expected at the box office. The 'Hollywood Reporter' estimated that the film was on track to lose between $125 million and $140 million.
