Load of rubbish!!

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

Hands down the absolute worst film I ever watched. Went to the theater with my 89 year old great grandma, about 2 minutes in after the trailers finished she fell asleep and didn't open her eyes until the cinema lights came back on. Honestly, she was the lucky one, my great grandma didn't have to experience the torture.The acting was so bad I wanted to cry at various points, the storyline was terrible and the characters had to force their words out of their mouths. Actors were bad, whoever produced it was bad, who ever directed it was pretty bad too. But don't ask my grandma because she had a wonderful hour and a half sleep. If only I could have too.Don't WATCH😤😴😥😰😱😖😡

A great movie with a surprising and fun story, great acting from the two leads. The Movie looks great, and the soundtrack is amazing.The soundtrack in combination with the scenes invoke a sense of wonder and innocence at times,the friendly giant is almost immediately a very likable character as also Sophie played by Ruby Barnhill. The performances by Ruby Barnhill and Mark Rylance are memorable, and fun.Steven Spielberg made a wonderful and memorable movie, that i will certainly remember for a very long time.

i stalled watching this movie with my 6 year old, because of it's rating. now i regret it, she loved it. it was a colorful world, and definitely made for kids (boring for adults, i admit). I believe Steven Spielberg has the ability to see the world from a kid's eyes. the special effects were also brilliant.

The bar has been set so high for Spielberg movies that anything less than Oscar-level quality is often seen as a failure. However, to judge the BFG along those lines would be a great disservice to a movie that has a great many merits, particularly as a family film. Shed of much of the darkness of Roald Dahl's source material, Spielberg breathes a healthy dose of his magic into The BFG, though it never reaches to the greatness of ET. Spielberg, however, does get some very strong performances from Mark Rylance as the title character and newcomer Ruby Barnhill as the young orphan who befriends the giant. The real star of the movie is probably the spot-on motion capture that brings the giants to life. If you're expecting a groundbreaking film like Raiders of the Lost Ark or a crisply directed work like Catch Me If You Can, you're in the wrong movie. But if you have room for close to two hours (which might be a tad overlong) of sweet, touching fun, you should absolutely consider The BFG.
