4.0 out of 5 stars Jack vs. giants, 13 Feb 2007
By Miss Bramley (Scotland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Jack the Giant Killer [DVD] [1962] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC] (DVD)
After seeing this movie recently, it has gone on to be one of my favourite films. it has everything, charm, romance, vikings, leprechauns, an evil sorcerer and plenty of giants. a traditional fairytale with some "interesting" monsters, you can tell the designers really went to town to create unique and chilling creatures, my favourite being a shapely witch with a head like an open maw, which can emit hurricane force gales. Its all a bit of fun, with a rhyming leprechaun in a bottle who aids jack and a steriotypical viking who singlehandedly mans a warship. if you want a fantasy film whic sticks to the tried and tested formula, then this is a perfect film for you. it has the beautiful princess coming of age, getting kidnapped, getting rescued by a (very) handsome farm boy who is then knighted and charged with the safety of the princess who again gets kidnapped... la la la, etc, etc, etc. its all predictable stuff and leaves you with a warmth inside and a smile on your face.
i cant think of a bad thing to say about it, apart from the crude animation, but even that has its charm, and the cornyness of the whole thing but it is a great film and especially one for a rainy sunday in.

4.0 out of 5 stars Better than Sinbad!, 30 Dec 2007
This review is from: Jack the Giant Killer [DVD] [1962] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC] (DVD)
I got this for Christmas and I have to say I was very sceptical, I didn't think I'd enjoy it. But after one viewing I thought it was wonderful! The tale of Jack and his battle against the Sorcerer Pendragon and the giants has many similarities to The first Sinbad film, for instance the first giant is almost exactly the same as Harryhausen's cyclops, but it has a different look and style. This is great family viewing.

5.0 out of 5 stars All time Classic, 22 May 2007
By Meibs (Chatham, UK) - See all my reviews
This film is a Classic! All time legend of a film. Takes me back to my childhood. I highly recommend this film, its proper old cheesy fairy tale stuff, but everything you hope it will be.

Torin Thatcher is surely the all time best villian, he is better in this than 7th Voyage of Sinbad.

I highly recommed this to everyone, snuggle up on sofa, turn your brain off an hour and a half and enjoy.
