Insomniac orphan Sophie sees something she shouldn't in the small hours, and finds herself whisked away to Giant Country in the company of an oddly-spoken giant who collects and dispenses dreams. But he is the smallest giant, and the others are bullies with a taste for human beans... After a cel-animated British TV version in 1989 (where the Big Friendly Giant was voiced by David Jason), Spielberg directs a big-budget cinema take on Roald Dahl's novel. And it is terrific. Dahl is a wonderful author for children (his adult work is less well-known, but also excellent) because, as well as having great stories, he never talks down to his audience, and never sugar-coats things. The BFG is fun despite, and perhaps also because of, its dark areas. The mix of CGI and real-life is done so well that you can never see the join. Real-life Ruby Barnhill as Sophie plays much of the film, which is largely a two-hander, with Mark Rylance's CGI BFG, and it is to their joint credit that the relationship between them is so genuine and affecting - despite their being on set together, the greenscreen and artificiality must have made it difficult to bond.The look of the fantasy throughout the film is flawless, and effortlessly pulls you in. The other giants are genuinely threatening, but just cartoonish enough to be funny, which takes the edge off the menace. Dahl's source material, augmented here and there, is clearly visible in the late Melissa Mathison's screenplay, especially the BFG's unique, hilarious and gloriumptious take on language. The story is simple but fun.For me, despite the eye-dazzling look of the movie (don't bother with the 3D, by the way, a distinct disappointment after Tintin), the chief joy here was the relationship between the two main characters. Ruby Barnhill is excellent as Sophie, but Rylance as the BFG is simply sublime, the touching subtlety of his performance crystal clear through performance capture applied to a character map based closely on his face. After a long and successful theatrical career, his screen work (big and small screens) over the last couple of years has been breath-taking and here, fittingly, it is magical.This film will be an all-time classic. In case it's not clear, I loved it.

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.

I recently saw the BFG by Steven Spielberg it is a fantasy and adventure film which was produced by Kennedye and Marsall in 2016 and lasted 1h 57min. This movie is set in American it tells the story of BFG played by Mark Rylance the story begins An orphan little girl befriends a benevolent giant who takes her to Giant Country, where they attempt to stop the man-eating giants that are invading the human world. I personally think it's phenomenal. I wold recommend it because the script is bright.

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.
