Review of The BFG (2016) by Brendan N — 29 Apr 2017

This is a slow and uninspired film, this feels like Spielberg on autopilot mode. The story may stick to the plot of the book, I'm not too sure on that front, never read the book but the pacing is all over the place.

I didn't care for the anti climatic finale or the misjudged comedy attempts, this was a giant mishap. This never felt like a Spielberg film, the grand storytelling you get from his films just wasn't there.

You must think he should think about throwing in the towel after making this and Tintin, these films don't have a voice and anyone could've made these. This should've been made by some up and coming director, even Skull Island had some distinction to other genre films.

Giant misstep here. 30/04/2017.
