VHS Movie Reviews of Jack and the Beanstalk - The Real Story
Movie Review: It was brokenin the box, I never even opened it
Summary: 1 Stars
I sent for this DVD, and when it arrived in the mail, it made noise when you shook the box it came in. I have been busy, and have not had time to complain about it till now. I want a new,good one, and don't feel it's fair wasting my time shipping it back to you.Movie Review: Love watching this over and over again...even teared the 2nd time!
Summary: 5 Stars
Watched this on TV and searched for this movie and found it! Watched over and over again and love it still. Story line and special effects are great...realistic but not still imaginative.Movie Review: *Great Movie For Everyone!*
Summary: 5 Stars
A wonderful movie for anyone who loves fairy tales.It is very interesting to watch.I really enjoyed it.Movie Review: An Excellent Movie to Recommend
Summary: 5 Stars
I highly recommend this movie for all individuals who love mythology, folk tales, fairy tales and science fantasy. I was most impressed at the lack of animation and the excellent special effects. I was also impressed with the preformances of Matthew Modine and Vanessa Redgrave. The positive twist in the movie made it even more interesting.Movie Review: Great family film
Summary: 4 Stars
A great new spin on an old tale. Quality production, acting, and visual effects. We especially loved Jack. The "true" story of Jack as the villain is kept a mystery well into the film. The good giant and his heroic death are memorable. This fun movie would be an excellent classroom addition to showcase point of view, the art of storytelling, etc. All ages can appreciate different levels of meaning in the story.
Summary of Jack and the Beanstalk - The Real Story
This ambitious miniseries begins with Jack's descendant (Matthew Modine) and works its way backward to the story of the original young man and the beanstalk. Because the first Jack used that towering vine to steal a giant's magic goose and harp, an entire world was reduced to poverty and a bloodline was cursed--all Robinson men die in their 40s, and the modern-day Jack is around that age. Fortunately, Ondine (Mia Sara), a visitor from the giant's alternative reality, has a plan. If she and Jack can recover the stolen items in time, they may be able to solve both problems. The made-for-TV movie boasts top stars (including Vanessa Redgrave and Jon Voight) and Jim Henson's Creature Shop's nifty special effects. Although children younger than 10 may find the complex narrative confusing and the implied violence scary, Jack and the Beanstalk is an inventive retelling that adds new life to an old story. --Kathleen C.
