What Singer has come up with is a big-screen fairy tale, a throwback to classic family movies of yesteryear-and at the same time, not. While Jack the Giant Slayer, the latest from X-Men and Usual Suspects-director Bryan Singer, doesn't exactly turn into the cinematic equivalent of a multi-car pile-up, it does suffer from trying too hard to be centrist, to maintain a position between two different things, and ends up not being as good as it should be for it. Because if you're in your car and you position yourself to take a straight line down the center of the highway, a terrible crash is sure to come. When you think about it, it's kind of funny that traveling the middle of the road has become the cliché for the "safe" option.
