The BFG (2016)

Written by Gimly on June 24, 2017

The animated '89 version of The BFG was a staple of my youth, so naturally I was excited for a Steven Spielberg redo. Unfortunately, I don't think the tale lends itself well to the live action format. That, or the hands making this piece were unable to concentrate the narrative to where it went. In either case, the end product is a film with many tiny endearing moments of nostalgia that at no point come together to create a laudable whole.

Final rating:★★ - Had some things that appeal to me, but a poor finished product.
