In the past decade, streaming has taken off in houses around the worldMystery Science Theater 3000 Trend of “so badly that it’s good.” This is why a massive flop, for example, say, Morbius, and films that have slightly missed the brand as The autumn guy Can make it run and become a streaming success. What is even more impressive is the incredible turn of 2013 Jack The Giant SlayerWho has lost legendary images an alleged $ 200 million, now to become one of the most popular ten films in Netflix.
The classic fairy tale with a twist
Everyone knows the story of Jack and the beanThe classic fairy tale on the sale of a horse for magic beans and the climbing of a bean to find a giant living in the clouds. It’s simple, contains several morals and can be easily adjusted to transform Jack into the villain, but Jack The Giant Slayer Rather asks: “And if there was no morale, and instead of a giant, there was a whole army of evil giants?” The film is the classic story as you have never seen it before and it works almost.
Nicholas Hoult plays Jack, the young man who finds himself exchanging his horse towards a monk in exchange for beans that he can never get wet. Like the rules in GremlinsIt takes long before Jack is accidentally wet and a bean grows under his house with the princess, Isabell (Eleanor Tomlinson), trapped inside while he pushes in the sky. All the king’s men come together to save the princess, including Lord Roderick (Stanley Tucci), who fortunately, Jack The Giant Slayer It is obvious is very bad, very quickly.
It is in Jack, Isabell, and the Loyal Knight, Elmont (Ewan McGregor) to save the kingdom and stop the invasion of the giants led by Roderick and the general Giant Fallon (Bill Nigy). If there is one thing Jack The Giant Slayer Better than all other adaptations, it is the third act with a full war between humans and giants, with a touch of humor and absurdity. Watch a giant throwing a windmill like the sword of Krull is the perfect amount of shift to distract a surprising amount of body horror in the two conceptions of the giant and the ultimate fall of Fallon.
A film for anyone
Jack The Giant Slayer It looks too good, and the star casting has much fun for it to be a really bad film. The problem is that the rhythm is disabled because it takes a little too long to get to good things, and then it’s a little too rushed, and although it is a fun adventure, it is also, like source, simplistic equipment. It is not as if the film was not watched in theaters, it has made $ 197 million worldwide, which would be a great transportation expecting it costs $ 185 million, and that does not include the large marketing campaign.
The vision of the vision of director Bryan Singer of a dark version of the fable, with real people on the screen, and the disinfected version which made theaters which was still too dark for children, because the film is surprisingly, evaluated the PG-13, meant that it ended up being a film for anyone. The Rotten Tomatoes ratings, 52% of criticism and 55% of the public, are proof that the final product is not great, but not bad; It is a film that will make you watch for a few hours and will no longer leave a lasting impression. These days, Lionsgate and Sony want them to publish a film that is so well received, because even Jack the Giant Slayer looks like a masterpiece compared to Border districts Or Kraven the hunter.
Streaming is the perfect house for Jack The Giant SlayerAnd the massive public of Netflix agrees. 10 years later, it no matter more than the film has lost hundreds of millions in theaters; He can finally stand alone as a funny, but banal fantastic adventure.
Jack The Giant Slayer is now streaming on Netflix.
