Lemuel Gulliver (Jack Black) works in a mailroom at a city newspaper. While he is on an assignment in the Bermuda Triangle, a vortex transports him to a magic land of tiny people. His newfound comrades use his enormous size to help defend the land of Lilliput from warring rivals.
This film was really creative to say the least. However the director and the writer really missed on a few key points of this movie. There were way too many silly scenes that should have been cut out of this film.
There should have been some re-writes and some re-shoots. I would say that the budget probably would not allow this. The writing was all over the place and did not focus on the main story-line.
There was no introduction of the other Clan that lived across the sea. They just came out of no-where.
I’m a big fan of Jack Black and when I saw the trailer for this flick, I had to check it out. After saying that, I was very disappointed in this release.
Box office receipts would agree with me. This film only grossed, $43M Domestically, $ 222M Worldwide after a budget of $ $112M. This film made money but it would have made much more had the changes been made.
In my final opinion this film was a cross between Ironman and Wild, Wild West with little twist and turns here and there. I rate this film a 6.5 out of 10.
