The BFG

Video review on: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mpmtqMdGGDk
The BFG is a fantasy adventure film directed by Steven Spielberg, produced by Disney, and based on the 1980s Roald Dahl book. The film follows a young British orphan girl as she befriends a giant she calls the Big Friendly Giant, or BFG, as he takes her to his home and she helps him gain confidence when dealing with other giants, way bigger than BFG. Though it can be very sweet and imaginative to watch, it can at times feel slow and dragging in certain moments. What I found to be odd and just out of nowhere was the ending in which BFG and the little girl, named Sophie, visit the Queen of England to get the help from the military to help deal with the bully giants, though because it's true to the book I praise it. Two of the biggest things that make the film so great are the two leads' performances and the effects. Mark Rylance, who plays the BFG, and Ruby Barnhill, the 12 year old girl who plays Sophie, give such great and true performances, which is a given when it comes to a Spielberg film. The effects of the film, especially when it deals with the small girl interacting with the giants is absolutely amazing. Even if the film may not have done good at the box office, it's still a classic and a great addition to Spielberg's resume. Over all: 84%
