Excellent dodging of my question. Is Quan rubbing off on you? 😂
Anyways, I asked first, so answer my question, and then I'll answer yours 🙂

Good call, overall.
But that film suffered from lack-luster CGI though. Digital Domain got kicked in the financial balls and massively downsized while they had the contract for Jack The Giant Killer and it shows in the piss-poor end product.
Though it's a guess if the film would have done better than break even if the CGI was top notch.
There's not many films focused on a giant person, but giant beings in general tend to bring in box office. We need look no further than Godzilla and King Kong.
Then there's exploring the universe by shrinking to the size of an ant. Then there's a scientific genius behind all of this, and then there's the likelyhood that the film will have a lot of fun with the idea.
So yeah count me in on the opening night.

How is it dodging when Neph already answered your question? Monsters Vs Aliens. Last "giant person" film I can think of that the giant person isn't a monster in any shape.

So you're going to use an animated kids film as your example. OK 😂
To answer your question, Jack the Giant Slayer 😉
Now for the next question, what is the the latest successful live action giant person film? Given your previous answers, you'll probably say something like Gulliver's Travels or Ella Enchanted. 😆 So let's just say live action sci-fi film.

Edgar Wright's the perfect director to pull it offAlso its definitely gonna get a box office boost from avengers 2
I'm just going to judge off of the trailer. If it looks appealing, cool, but if not, I won't be surprised.

Use some imagination. It's been a very long time since there was a film based on a giant hero. Ant-Man's a great opportunity to reinvent that s***.
If no one had the balls to try something new, then we'd have nothing interesting on the screen.
And there's a lot more to Ant-Man than just being a giant man. He's not a lame character to use at all, and is one of the original Avengers.
But for the record there clearly is a market who enjoy watching giant beings fighting each other.

I don't think there has ever been a live action film with a giant hero. Paul Bunyan?

It's not something new. It's an outdated trope from the 50's. Hell, Monster vs Aliens chick was purely a comedic homage to that.

Oh yes, Paul Rudd will be losing his battle against the villain, and then he turns on his Thornberry powers, and we watch as insects swarm the opponent like phucking Squirrel Girl and take him down. That won't look silly or ridiculous at all 🙄

Giant robot fanbase? Yeah. Giant monster fanbase? Indeed. Giant Paul Rudd fanbase? Uh.....

Well there you go then. You have nothing to judge this on.

Lol If the last time it was tried was decades ago, you don't think it might be an idea to try it now with modern day special effects and see if there's a new interest now for that sort of thing?

Thankfully your not writing the script, so it won't be that silly.

Well you have to try it before you make a fanbase.
With that sort of attitude we wouldn't have half the superheroes we see today on the big screen.

Considering the lack of "giant humans that are not monsters" in films, yes.
Jack the Giant Killer had giant monsters that loosely resembled humans. So by your own "rules" you set here, that doesn't count 🙂
You've yet to answer my question successfully, not that it matters, as it's clear you're just going out of your way to shit on this film when you know next to nothing about the character.
