My son read this book in class and wanted to watch it with my parents at our Easter gathering. Obviously, it’s well crafted, but it doesn’t really live up to the potential of a Spielberg-Disney collaboration on a Roald Dahl adaptation. The best parts are when the BFG is hiding in plain sight throughout the streets of London. Outside of those sequences, I find the film to be largely forgettable. I’d rather rewatch Jack the Giant Slayer almost any day.
