Nicholas Hoult steps back into the crown as King Jack—older, steadier, carrying the quiet scars of a boy who once felled giants. His kingdom below is peaceful on the surface, but the real storm brews in his own home: his half-giant daughter, born of beanstalk magic and forbidden love, growing too fast, too strong, and too torn between worlds. Eleanor Tomlinson returns with that warm, fierce grace as the woman who helped raise her, now fighting to keep the family from fracturing under the weight of destiny.

The giants? They’ve leveled up in the worst way—sky lords now, commanding massive cloud-sailing war machines and armored airships that blot out the sun. The battles are pure spectacle: towering beanstalk bridges snapping in thunderheads, sword-clashing duels atop swaying vines miles high, lightning cracking across zeppelin armadas, and heart-stopping aerial chases through storm clouds that feel alive and angry. The VFX push the fantasy into breathtaking new heights—giant silhouettes lit by electric storms, steel grinding against stone, and that dizzying sense of scale that makes you grip your seat.

Yet the real power lies in the heart. Jack’s daughter isn’t just a weapon or a curse—she’s hope. Her quiet bond with a young giant prince, forged in secret amid the chaos, becomes the bridge that could end centuries of hate. It’s epic without being empty, massive without losing its soul.

This sequel doesn’t just climb higher; it soars. Bigger stakes, deeper emotion, and a finale that feels earned and uplifting. Towering fantasy at its finest. 10/10. Time to climb again.
