Helloturia I have absolutely never seen anything like this movie before. You have to see this movie.

Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Scarlet The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

strike-1995 Was happily surprised about how wonderful this film was. It's idyllic optimism is barely weighed down by the quick resolution.

margotmaesmm A beautiful tale brought to life by Spielberg. A fascinating universe makes up for the simplicity of the story (which can be forgiven since it's a children's book). Dahl's original story is beautifully retold on screen. The jokes and good ending most certainly make it an amazing, enjoyable family movie that is a pleasure for both the eye and the soul.

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 !

Mark Thomas The BFG review Steven Spielberg has done it again! A story about bullying and social acceptance that was wonderful as a book, even better as an animated cartoon but the film is a glorious spectacle of acting, scenery, effects but most of all an underlying message which will be enjoyed by young and old, especially the scene where the queen is having breakfast with the BFG and Sophie (watch the Corgies! The BFG 8 out of 10
