MJB784 I saw BFG and was disappointed again. It was artistically well made, but the pacing was slow and it wasn't about much. By the end of the movie nothing seems accomplished. It just seemed to be about this girl with no parents who's taken from an orphanage by the main character and create dreams or nightmares from blue and red potions. There are other giants there that are more nasty, but there's no goal in the movie. Nothing accomplished with no focus.

Clifton Johnson Visually, this movie is magnificent. But it lacks magic. Dahl's stories had magic. Spielberg's classics had magic. But this film? They seemed to think that a classic tale with amazing effects and good vocal talent would somehow equal something beautiful. Unfortunately, the math does not work out...the end result is LESS than the sum of its parts. I would have better served to read the book (or watch E.T., for that matter).

Wesley van pinxteren 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.

thelin-86787 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.
