Which he throws away into a field (and grow into a beanstalk). The "engine room" is nothing but an old smith's forge with forging tools hanging on the wall. And he's building this thing for what reason? And with what means? No matter, he's got it working right in the nick of time, to kill the giant dinosaur in the end scene. Clearly, it is just a couple of cardboard boxes with some spray paint.
The feet of the thing are shown several times walking on grass, in the opening scene. Just to describe some major issues: Jack, an ordinary kid, is building/finishing some sort of battle robot as in "Avatar". On the other hand, some bad movies - because they were done badly, either for the lack of skill or on purpose - gain a cult status. There should be laws against this shameless deceit. Perhaps the actors were also lured into this sham, ignorant of it's true nature. There simply may have been no time or budget to re-do anything. I cannot blame the actors for bad acting, when probably everything was shot in one take. The script, the acting, props, action scenes, - nothing measures up to any standard other than making a buck from stealing the title from a blockbuster by just throwing something together badly without much of a budget.
#Jack the giant killer budget movie
The movie has inconsistency written all over it. It has actors, it has special effects, though extremely bad, appalling, awful. It really is just the stolen movie title filled with garbage. There cannot have been any other reason or intention for making it because this movie is the very worst of utter crap. Jack the Giant Slayeris predicted to get a DVD and Blu-ray release in July 2013.This movie was made with one purpose: to trick people into buying the DVD/blue-ray of "Jack the giant killer", only to be disappointed it isn't the blockbuster movie "Jack the giant slayer" they thought it was. Were you one of the people who saw Jack the Giant Slayer in theaters last month? Did it deserve better numbers than it got? Share your thoughts in the comments. The film has received middling-to-good reviews, with Screen Rant's Ben Kendrick describing it as " surprisingly entertaining," and the majority of our poll voters rating it between 4 and 5 stars. It's worth noting, however, that critic and audience responses were somewhat more positive than the box office intake. If the estimated numbers hold, Jack the Giant Slayer's overall losses will fall somewhere between those for 2012 disasters Battleship and John Carter, making it an early contender for 2013's "Flop of the Year" award. The film's plot was conflated from different sources, with the magic beans and beanstalk derived from the classic fairy tale "Jack and the Beanstalk", and the title and royal love interest (Eleanor Tomlinson) drawn from the Arthurian folk tales of "Jack the Giant Killer." It featured Nicholas Hoult in the lead role and was produced and directed by Bryan Singer, who will hopefully make a recovery with next year's release of X-Men: Days of Future Past. This will leave Legendary Pictures (who financed half of the film's total budget) with losses of between $125 and $140 million, and Warner Bros. Despite a worldwide marketing budget of over $100 million, on top of the production budget of $200 million, Yahoo reports that the film has so far only earned only around $157 million since its March 1st release date, with THR predicting that it will top out at just over $200 million.
Legendary Pictures hasn't been so lucky with its big-budget, CGI-heavy fantasy adventure Jack the Giant Slayer. Personally, I blame Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland, which was one of the few fairy tale success stories at the box office, earning a worldwide gross of over $1 billion.
For whatever reason, live-action reinventions of classic fairy tales are incredibly in vogue right now. Next year we can expect to see Maleficent, a live-action origin story for Disney's Sleeping Beauty villain, and Guillermo Del Toro is planning another Beauty and the Beast adaptation with Emma Watson as the heroine. The fairy tale trend is not over yet, though. Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters and Snow White and the Huntsman both did well enough overseas to compensate for their lukewarm domestic gross, and it was more or less the same deal for Snow White and the Huntsman's rival, Mirror Mirror. "Beauty and the Beast in high school" romance flick Beastly was almost universally scorned by critics, though it managed to earn a modest profit off its relatively low production budget.
It seems that Hollywood just can't get enough of reinventing fairy tales, though the audience and box office response to them has been mixed at best.
