This
is
perhaps
the
worst
silver
screen
edition
of
the
18th
century
novel
written
by
Jonathan
Swift.
Jack
Black,
who
plays
Lemuel
Gulliver
in
the
Friday
release,
disappoints
throughout.
The
actor
may
have
given
Hollywood
some
wonderful
performances
in
films
like
Kung
Fu
Panda
and
King
Kong,
but
Jack
Black
tends
to
forget
that
not
all
stories
want
him
to
play
a
geek!
For
that
matter,
the
humor
in
the
2010
version
of
Gulliver"s
Travels
also
fails
to
impress.
Lemuel
Gulliver
here
is
a
mailroom
worker
who
is
very
much
in
love
with
Darcy
Silverman,
a
newspaper
travel
editor.
To
express
his
love,
Gulliver
sets
upon
a
travel
from
where
he
will
return
to
pen
his
own
experiences.
Lemuel
Gulliver
sets
upon
a
journey
to
the
Bermuda
Triangle
and
accidentally
reaches
the
land
of
Lilliputs
when
his
ship
wrecks.
It
is
here
that
Lemuel
Gulliver
starts
enjoying
the
taste
of
being
a
true
hero
when
the
Lilliputs
shower
the
towering
man
with
love
and
respect.
The
Lilliput
kingdom
considers
Gulliver,
the
savior
of
their
little
world.
Will
he
emerge
as
the
real
hero
that
he
brags
to
be
or
will
Lemuel
Gulliver
fall
short
of
the
Lilliputs" expectations?
Gulliver"s
Travels
shows
some
high
class
drama,
comedy,
fantasy
and
even
love,
but
still
fails
to
draw
the
attention
of
the
audience.
Running
for
a
duration
of
only
95
minutes,
Gulliver"s
Travels
may
force
you
to
leave
the
theater
halfway
into
the
film!
