Very good fantasy
Wow – very cool. A good retelling of an old story without any smarmy adult jokes or insinuations, although I must say some moderately rough visual moments. But nothing my 7 year old couldn’t handle. Commoner Hoult finds himself helping out princess Tomlinson on more than one occasion, the most serious being when she’s held or chased by giants. Of all the actors McGregor charmed me the most in a calmly confident role as head of the king’s Guardians. Hoult and McGregor battle the giants in the clouds and then engage in round two when the giants come to earth. Tucci is good, as always, in this case playing the villain. The special effects are well done but not overdone (as is so often the case nowadays). The story is pretty much told straight, without a lot of fluff, although the running time of about two hours was probably more than it needed to be. Somewhat derivative but very enjoyable nonetheless, it’s recommended.Read More
