 Beyond Imagination July 12, 2008
A superb film...really, really great. A clever take on the story, well written, well acted, great sets and costumes, imaginative and... well...I could go on and on! I was a bit apprehensive at first, thinking that it would be another fairy-tale remake by numbers, but decided to give it a go because I love The Henson Company. I dont think i've ever been so gripped by a film. The acting is top notch all the way through, partly thanks to a strong star cast. Matthew Modine gives a strong performance as Jack, faultless throughout. Mia Sara plays Ondine (Jack's love interest) with emotion and depth. Other names to add to the list are Vanessa Regrave, Daryl Hannah, Jon Voight, Richard Attenborough, Bill Barretta (who has done tons of stuff with the Henson Company) and James Corden (from Gavin and Stacey) All of whom are equally strong. There's so much more I could say, but I think you should watch it for yourself... in fact you'll be doing yourself an injustice if you don't watch it! Last words... I defy anyone not to feel their heart wrenching when Thunderfell falls. Buy....Now....!
 Ridiculous story and far too long... March 8, 2007
I will keep this review short, as I haven't much to say bout this film other then the story was ridiculous, going all over the place and failing to answer some important questions. It also went on for far too long, was boring, had no real action, and was totally pointless. My regret? Forcing myself to watch the whole film, as I kept on saying to myself "it will get good soon!", but it didn't...
So my advice would be to avoid this film, and that's coming from a massive Jim Henson film/works fan. Honestly, it is bad. If you do watch it, please don't let this be a reflection on the rest of Henson's works, which are brilliant!

A truly fantastic story - and it's wonderful to see the use of pagan characters as well.Gorgeous and clever story, truly spellbinding, even for an adult. I would like to have seen more creature shop animatronics, but i thought the meld of CGI and traditional was very good. Put this with the Labyrinth as an all time favourite film. More please

Well most people might be put of by the idea that this is just a retelling of the Jack and the Beanstalk story, but in reality it is so much more. It is one the most entertaining programs i've seen for ages.
