Agh this movie's name :)
Anyone who played Doom or Quake has to always be reminded of gun called "BFG" = "Big Fucking Gun"
So anytime I see title of this movie, I am confused.

For kids only… As an adult, it's really booooring !

Mark Rylance has the stature this movie needs to make it work... and he is fantastic! Spielberg returns to the family genre and brings to life a wonderful story. It sags a little in the middle but on the whole it worth seeing.

Really excited for this movie.

Hello there,and have a goood night!!!

This was a cute movie. My 11-year old really liked it. I haven't read the book this is based on (though I did like a lot of Roald Dahl's books when I was a kid), but the movie does a good job of explaining itself so you don't feel lost. I must admit I'm slightly surprised they didn't swap release dates w/ Finding Dory. Not sure this feels like a 4th of July weekend-type movie.

The highlight is certainly Mark Rylance as the giant. The visuals are very impressive, and I thought 3D was worth the $$ if you want to spend it. I liked the little girl who plays Sophie, the main character. Bonus: you get flatulence jokes.

I think people who already like the story will enjoy this movie. Those who like Steven Spielberg (especially his stuff aimed at younger viewers--E.T., Hook, etc) will also like this. It's Disney so you know it won't get too overtly dark in tone. I think most people who go won't regret it, but to me it wasn't one of those movies where I just want to tell everyone to go see it ASAP.

I am a huge Roald Dahl fan and I continue to read his books on a regular basis. Alongside A.A. Milne and Jeremy Strong, he's the greatest children's author of all time. Therefore I cared deeply about this film and hoped it would live up to my expectations. I'm very pleased to say that this is a masterpiece, which stays very true to the book. It's very rare that a re-make is ever better than the original, but I was never a fan of the 1987 adaption anyway. (With the exception of the song "Whizz Pop Whizz Bang", which sadly wasn't included in this new film.) My only tiny criticism is that I felt like the battle scene didn't last long enough. I'm not a warmonger by any means, but I felt like they captured the meat-eating giants far too easily. They could've extended it a bit to give it more drama.

If given the choice, I would happily eat Snozzcumbers for the rest of my life, rather than eat dead bodies, which is disgusting. I am 100% with the BFG on that one.

I'm not the target audience but I didn't enjoy this movie. This isn't one that kids and adults can find entertaining. I was just bored. The visuals were alright and immature me thought the fart jokes were almost funny. Unfortunately not worth your time unless you are trying to watch all of Spielberg's movies or you have little kids to watch it with.

Think I'm in a minority here but I really didn't like it. I know the tale well from reading the book and watching the animated version as a child, but I found this one dull and boring. I nearly fell asleep in the cinema watching it. I don't know what it was but I just didn't personally enjoy it.

so like what happens in this movie

Well this was a boring movie with a creepy undertone in a predatory kind of way.

You should watch this movie through a child's eyes. It's great for kids but might be mediocre for adults.

Don't listen to ZenGarden, probably is a mean giant ready to eat you, pretty pog movie

"The BFG" is decent at best. Which is a real shame, because it's directed by the greatest and the most iconic film makers of all time. You'd expect more from Spielberg after last year "Bridge of Spies". Coming to think of it, I can't believe Spielberg directed this. Even with all the bright colors and the bizarre adventures, I still felt I was missing something.

But I don't hate the movie. It dose have it's magical and sweet moments that separates it from being a miss fire. Ruby Barnhill as Sophie was pretty good and it proves that there are good kids actors out there. But the saving grace of the movie is Mark Rylance (as the BFG) who really made this movie watchable. Rylance captures the lovable, fun, and joyful giant from Roald Dahl's book. The film itself is technically well done and it's not boring, but quite enjoyable.
