6. Jack the Giant Slayer (2013)<\/h2>\n

\"Jack<\/p>\n

Coming from the fairytale you have always hated as a child and you struggled finding its logic even when you were five years old, Jack the Giant Slayer <\/a>is here to present us the touched by modernism story of Jack (Nicholas Hoult<\/a>), a farm boy, who gets in the possession of some magic beans, and gets involved in a war against giants. Jack\u2019s love interest, princess Isabelle, is played by Eleanor Tomlinson<\/a>, while Elmont, the captain of the king\u2019s guard is portrayed by Ewan McGregor<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Clash and Crush<\/h3>\n

With costs over $185 million and losses of almost $101,156,199, there is a series of various reasons why the movie failed. One reason is the clash of views \u2013 the movie\u2019s dark mature tone did not match the taste of the main targeted audience, families and mainly, children. Also, the large amount of digital effects were also not for the viewers, while some saw the story as bland, one-dimensional and just a poor attempt at recycling a classical fairy tale.<\/p>\n

Reasonably Fun<\/h3>\n

But of course, there were those who were entertained by Jack\u2019s adventures and the wonderful actors, finding this version not only original, but also \u2013 believe it or not \u2013 better than the Hobbit<\/a>. Jack the Giant Slayer also got a few nominations and an award at BMI Film & TV Awards for John Ottman\u2019s music. Not bad for a flop.<\/p>\n
