The BFG is no ordinary bone-crunching giant. He is far too nice and jumbly. It's lucky for Sophie that he is. Had she been carried off in the middle of the night by the Bloodbottler, or any of the other giants—rather than the BFG—she would have soon become breakfast. When Sophie hears that the giants are flush-bunking off to England to swollomp a few nice little chiddlers, she decides she must stop them once and for all. And the BFG is going to help her!

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.

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.

There is something otherworldly magical about this film, and it’s not just the giants from another world. I would say Spielberg knows a lot about making endearing films with childhood innocence, and this would no doubt be added to the mix, but there’s more. This movie captures a believable magic More

From the moment I saw More

"The only element of the entire production that inspires any kind of wonder is just how far from a satisfying adaptation the film proves to be..."

**Little Sophie's giant adventure.**

I did not dislike it, but I thought it was not creative enough. I had seen the British animation and this one retained the same story. Of course, which was originally from the book, but nothing new other than a decent computer graphics. I liked the performance More
