But this modern retelling of Jack and the Beanstalk is no average retread fantasy-adventure. Sure the movie reportedly cost $200 million to produce and originally was set to hit theaters in June 2012. However, X-Men Director Bryan Singer's latest film offers a good old-fashioned adventure where evil is evil, and good is pure and true throughout the movie.
Nicholas Hoult, in the title role, unintentionally reignites an ancient war between an army of men and race of giants from a land that hangs between heaven and earth. Jack sets out to sell his uncle's horse and cart, returning, as expected, with some "valuable" beans. These beans come with a warning: "Whatever happens, don't get the beans wet!"
