Twelve-year-old Barbara Thorson flees from reality, leaving in the imaginary world of fantasy and magic, where she fights with giants. Her family does not understand her, peers do not like her, and she irritates teachers. And only recently moved here Sofia, her same age, trying to make friends with her.Written by

Barbara Thorson struggles through life by escaping into a fantasy life of magic and monsters. I Kill Giants is the perfect example of how Hollywood is losing it's touch and tries to promote their movies because the same studio once made a great movie or a franchise. Overdramatic, terrible writing and bland characters make for a slow paced and cheesy YA Film with some of the worst dialogue i have seen in a film of this kind, awful acting (the main girl especially and her siblings) and most of all a bad treatment of good actors like Saldana and Poots.
