Most helpful review Jack And The Beanstalk - The Real Story

  • A different take

    Rated - 4.0 stars

    [Highly rated reviewer]

    This movie started off quite slow, but once it got started it was actually quite good and 'we' enjoyed it, although our 4 year old seemed a bit confused!. This was also quite a long film so thank heavens for the pause button. Don't expect the rosy little fairy tale we all know!!

    I will keep this review short, as I haven't much to say bout this film other then the story was ridiculous, going all over the place and failing to answer some important questions. It also went on for far too long, was boring, had no real action, and was totally pointless. My regret? Forcing myself to watch the whole film, as I kept on saying to myself "it will get good soon!", but it didn't...

    So my advice would be to avoid this film, and that's coming from a massive Jim Henson film/works fan. Honestly, it is bad. If you do watch it, please don't let this be a reflection on the rest of Henson's works, which are brilliant!

  • Ok but too long for kids

    Rated - 2.0 stars  
    By a customer from New Forest, UK , 27 Jul 2005
    This is an OK film and would probably warrant 4 stars if it was at least 45 minutes shorter. Its just too long..... bored my 8 year old to tears, and she's not easily bored - quite happily sat through a DVD about Anne Frank!
