Roderick’s plan doesn’t go according to his scheme so the giant General Fallon (Bill Nighy) takes over and leads his giants to attack the king’s castle.īryan Singer’s film is basically a hero’s journey tale where the child of simple means rises to the occasion, but where so many films are obsessed with reluctant heroes, and destiny, this film succeeds because Jack is willing and able to be a hero. This leads Jack to become a hero so he can save the princess. Once up to the land of giants, Roderick reveals his master plan, as he has a crown that makes him king of the giants, which he plans to use to take over the world. And so both Roderick and Jack volunteer to go along. This leads to the king sending out his men, led by the knight Elmont (Mcgregor), who attempt to climb the beanstalk. There’s a storm, and the house is lifted into the sky with Isabelle (but not Jack) in tow.

But that night Isabelle shows up in disguise, while one of Jack’s beans rolls under his house. The monk trades his beans for Jack’s horse, which gets Jack in trouble when he gets home. Roderick has a collection of the magical beans, which are stolen by a monk that can tell Roderick’s evil. As teenagers, Jack and Isabelle bump into each other into town when Jack is trying to sell his horse and cart, and there’s an attraction, but she’s to be married to Roderick (Tucci) to make her father (McShane) happy.

Jack, much like the princess Isabelle (Tomlinson) grows up hearing stories about magical beans that lead to the land of giants, where men fought the beasts, and then decided to keep the bridge between worlds separate.
