My Review

Think this my first movie on the tale of Jack the Giant or maybe not did see a few other versions of the movie this one could be one of first of many tales most of time the first versions are the best so let’s see if I think that or no.

Well have too say good intro of movie and it’s the princess Birthday and she was giving a house with a Creature small who can dance cool but later on that will come to backfired on them as story gets interesting as bad guy used to his power to control the monster by a powerful Sorcerer evil one the Creature look good for clay motion good effects as well for a old movie well lucky Jack was around to help her as he took out the Creature for now because they would not take him out quick maybe they want to force on Pendragon more he is indeed powerful one and some how wants princess bad see that one before later on his somehow using effects monsters effects look like they look good and creepy.

Later on after getting her we see his plan unfold change her princess is now a queen that look a lot different under a spell she look like a evil queen good Costume but she was a lot pretty the other way and not this look but will say interesting for story because now you wonder how they build Jack up though the rest of movie and wonder how they change the princess back and face this powerful evil guy also I wonder how she reaction when they meet again to see if she remembers him. Once he does.

Have to say this is indeed good writing and storytelling as well the movie was great for acting as well just a fun Adventure movie and magic as well like the way it use for this one Costumes look great as well and that last 15 mins was fun too the guy in bottle was funny as lots of close calls though but in the end everything had a happy ending would of I love to see king reaction at the end yes but no need too it ended very good I would probably indeed watch this one again very great movie for 1961.

I give Jack the giant killer (1961) a rating of 8/10 for great
