Review of The BFG (2016) by Skeptic303 — 27 Sep 2016

The BFG is the second live-action disappointment just this summer from Disney. While certainly better than the lazy Alice in Wonderland sequel, this adaptation suffers from its own fair share of plagues.

Perhaps the most glaring mistake here happens in one particular scene that wastes time quite a bit and feels like a desperate reach for humor, which ended up failing. On top of that, it didn't develop anything either.

Otherwise, everything else was good and mostly serviceable, but not great. I didn't find the characters to be handled well, but at least the conflict was good and the interaction between sophie and the giant was great.

I guess like Tarzan, this movie tried to be entertaining, but unfortunately, it already committed to be a heart-felt movie, which is why that didn't work well for it. I can only say that this movie earns the seal of mediocrity; take from that what you will.
