Jack the Giant Slayer

Trailer: Jack the Giant Slayer - Warner Brothers

Bryan Singer, director of two "X-Men" movies, and the VERY unfortunate "Superman Returns," is back with "Jack the Giant Slayer."

Not surprisingly, there are LOTS of giants lumbering about, a massive beanstalk, and even a good ole "Fee Fi Fo Fum" uttered. Strangely, though, there is noisy rock music for a period adventure movie. I am guessing the rock stuff is to lure in the youngun's! As if orchestral background music would make that much of a difference. But, I guess Warner Brothers is playing to their intended audience!

As I mentioned, I thought "Superman Returns" was truly awful! I thought Singer badly botched that movie on every level: story, direction, casting, etc. Tons of money was spent, to no good effect. So, while the trailer for "Jack the Giant Killer" seems reasonable, it is hard to know whether Singer is back on his game or not! The poster pretty much acknowledges this, since they say "from the director of 'X-Men'" and not "Superman Returns!"
