Review of The BFG (2016) by Jcondic — 07 Dec 2016
The BFG himself is charming and full of heart unfortunately the film itself lacks any connection to that. The film feels very safe and the characters never feel any sense of urgency, even the build-up to the big battle doesn’t feel warranted.
Spielberg tries to instill magic but it feels like his youthfulness isn’t there anymore, technically the film is spot on but a younger director might have been able to bring better life to this story.
That being said kids might really enjoy the film while the adult in me can’t overlook things. I would have preferred another Tintin.
