Jack the Giant Slayer (trailer)

Mon, Feb 11, 2013

I guess we’re in for a slew of “reimagined fairy tale” flicks. Bryan Singer’s involvement gives me some hope. At the very least, Ewan McGregor’s hair looks to be entertaining here.

God, I’m so sick of trailers like this. For one, it gives away far too much of the story, as usual.
Then we have the ultra corny “You don’t know jack”. I groaned.

So many of these movies look the same and feel totally interchangeable.
What happened to the more subtle, mysterious trailer? The kind that doesn’t show the giants at all, and forces you into the theater just to see them?

Ugh.

It’s very pretty, but the giants’ “comic” accents grate a bit, and… is it just me, or are our principal couple trying for a Princess Bride feel? (Which is an error if it sends me off to re-watch that film instead.)
