	Author	Review
United States	Joe Morgenstern The Wall Street Journal	"Jack's problem is that he's a commoner, but the movie's problem is that its script is commoner still, an enchantment-free pretext for animated action, straight-ahead storytelling and ersatz romance"	NEG
United States	Richard Roeper rogerebert.com	"The action is a little too intense for very young children. But for everyone else, including cynical grown-up critics who didn't think they'd ever give a Fee, a Fi, a Fo or a Fum about this movie, it's a terrific adventure (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"'Jack the Giant Slayer' proves the axiom 'If you can't make it good, make it 3D.' (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"	NEU
United States	Todd McCarthy The Hollywood Reporter	"An energetic, robust, old-fashioned romantic adventure (...) in terms of efficient storytelling, clear logistics and consistent viewer engagement, Jack is markedly superior to the recent 'Hobbit.'"	POS
United States	Owen Gleiberman Entertainment Weekly	"The director, Bryan Singer, works more anonymously here than he did in the X-Men films. Jack the Giant Slayer feels like it could have been made by anyone"	NEG
