The talents of three of the world’s greatest storytellers – Roald Dahl, Walt Disney and Steven Spielberg – finally unite to bring Dahl’s beloved classic “The BFG” to life. Directed by Spielberg, Disney’s “The BFG” tells the imaginative story of a young girl and the Giant who introduces her to the wonders and perils of Giant Country. The BFG (Mark Rylance), while a giant himself, is a Big Friendly Giant and nothing like the other inhabitants of Giant Country. Standing 24-feet tall with enormous ears and a keen sense of smell, he is endearingly dim-witted and keeps to himself for the most part. Giants like Bloodbottler (Bill Hader) and Fleshlumpeater (Jemaine Clement) on the other hand, are twice as big and at least twice as scary and have been known to eat humans, while the BFG prefers Snozzcumber and Frobscottle. Upon her arrival in Giant Country, Sophie, a precocious 10-year-old girl from London, is initially frightened of the mysterious giant who has brought her to his cave, but soon comes to realize that the BFG is actually quite gentle and charming, and, having never met a giant before, has many questions. The BFG brings Sophie to Dream Country where he collects dreams and sends them to children, teaching her all about the magic and mystery of dreams. Having both been on their own in the world up until now, their affection for one another quickly grows, but Sophie’s presence in Giant Country has attracted the unwanted attention of the other giants, who have become increasingly more bothersome. Sophie and the BFG soon depart for London to see the Queen (Penelope Wilton) and warn her of the precarious giant situation, but they must first convince the Queen and her maid, Mary (Rebecca Hall), that giants do indeed exist. Together, they come up with a plan to get rid of the giants once and for all.

The book will forever stay as my favorite fantasy book, but the movie fails to stay interesting. I mean the film doesn't have its moments, but it lacked something new that I just can't comprehend. I was very suprised that such a visionary director like Spielberg would make a bland film like this. I'd say watch it or dont, nothing really changes.

It was too slow, and most of the dialogue was between the girl and giant. I tuned out part of the way through and missed so much I can't remember anything else to the plot but it's not a movie I'd bother watching again.

Amazing graphicz, but plot wasn't the best, tbh I feel like the end was just terrible. It went by too easy and just wasn't good. Also I feel like the end just needed a lot more action, or in general the movie, for such great graphics and everything, its kinda a let down. But I mean its not terrible. So 3 star
