Jack and Oz, well, just because...
Anyone care enough to want a review beyond this--
Decent fantasy flick though clearly aimed at a younger audience. Probably good for the 7-12 year old set to see with mom and dad. Some mildly clever twists on the classic Jack and the Beanstalk fable though there wasn't a single moment that was even mildly surprising. It held my attention and the attention of my 13 year old son, though neither of us loved it.
As an aside, I really like Bill Nighy as an actor and would love to see him actually appear in a film as opposed to voicing all-CGI characters like he did as Davy Jones in Pirates II and II and as he does as the Giant King in this movie.
