Review of The BFG (2016) by Lukemcdonnagh — 03 Jul 2016
Save your money! We walked out of this boring mess of a movie. Our kids were bored by it. The couple next to us wanted to leave but didn't have the courage. The BFG is devoid of heart or story. There is no set up as to why anyone would care about this orphan Sophie.
There is no goal. The giant has some nice CGI eyes, but there is nothing mind-blowing here and in fact many of the scenes of Sophie in his hand are downright shocking in how poor the quality is. Herky-jerky.
Shakey, They even sped up one scene. Hard to believe this is the latest technology! In the end, there is just no story. Zero. No reason to care whatsoever. You're just watching them walk through this very uninteresting world.
By the way, I think this young actress was a poor choice. She's not endearing or empathetic or even a particularly good actress, so maybe this movie never stood a chance as soon as she was cast.
