revdorothyl at 11:14pm on 17/03/2013 under movie reviewsI stopped off at the multiplex on my way home from church this afternoon and saw "Jack the Giant Slayer", which I judged to be well worth my $8.50.
I don't want to spoil it for anyone (at least, no more than the title of the film automatically gives away!), but let me just say that -- contrary to their respective ratings on 'Rotten Tomatoes' (only 51% positive for "Jack" vs. 62% positive for "Oz" as of today) -- I found "Jack" to be a much more entertaining and engrossing film with a much less annoying hero than "Oz the Great and Powerful".
And Ewan McGregor does a lovely job of only nearly stealing every scene he's in, as the wryly heroic leader of the Royal Guard. :)

Good to read that "Jack and the Giant Slayer" is well worth seeing. I had already pondered on wether to watch it or not as I'm usually rather fond of Ewan McGregor. ;-)
