After watching the preview for The BFG in theaters, I didn't have a desire to see it because the preview didn't grab me. After discovering it is directed by Spielberg I decided to watch it. Glad I did.

Loved the first half of the film. The second half, which gets really silly, not as much. As always, Spielberg gets a first class performance from a child actor (Ruby Barnhill) and a terrific performance from Mark Rylance as the giant.

If you have a great subwoofer and want to show it off, this is the film for you. When the girl first meets the giant his footsteps and movements will make your entire house shake! Overall I really enjoyed the film.
