StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Lela The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

realfandangoforever This fantasy film, obviously created by people with wonderful imaginations, was a joy to behold. There is so much fine detail contained within, that I found myself constantly wanting to hit the pause button. The characters were amazing, especially the giants, and although I found the film slowed a bit during BFG's reveal, my happiness was reinforced with laughing out loud moments, well, at least one really good laughing out loud moment. The special effects are top notch and the possibility that dreams come from the northern lights just appealed to this long term resident of the NWT. Overall, my time with The BFG was nothing but a positive investment. Well, well done.

Schmayla_goes_to_Hollywood I was excited to see this film as I am a fan of Roald Dahl and his kids' stories. The pacing of the movie was so slow that it made me wonder how a child could enjoy this movie if I was having trouble paying attention to it. The scenery and locations are gorgeous, but I felt like it was more of an artwork that actually telling the story. The last half of the film was much better as things started to unwind and become more interesting, but by that point, I was waiting for it to be over. I was highly disappointed in this movie. It's a beautiful story and beautifully shot, but it wasn't a movie that keeps you hooked the whole time.

oliviaherries 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😤😴😥😰😱😖😡

leplatypus So for me, it's Spielberg more enjoyable movie since Indy IV as it's shorter and more concise than his 140 historical movies. For sure, the pairing with Hook is inevitable (british fantasy) but i felt more to be in the Potterverse. The 2 lead actors, the BFG and the orphan girl are really impressive and one more time, Spielberg shows that he has a special gift with childhood. I found the London by night and Queen palace really beautiful and the dreams hill totally fantastic. The way Spielberg moves this giant BFG and grasps a whole dynamic moment is truly a signature from a master (it's not the head-achy bombing of frames done by most directors today !)… However i don't know if it's still a movie : for me, a movie means reality and that's on it that comes emotion. Here i really wonder what's left untouched by computers ? Were the sets the usual green emptiness ? So it's more like an animation (a bit like his so-so Tintin) and that's why at the end, Hook is still better because nothing can't beat the real thing !
