The BFG Ratings & Reviews
- Anders KarlssonMarch 21, 2026Quite good movie based on the classic Roald Dahl story, that I remember from my childhood. Not one of Spielberg 's greatest, but told the story quite well and it looked pretty great. It did take me back to my childhood, although my kids, 3 and 7, lost interest half way through.
- Kevin WardJuly 3, 2025My 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.
- ርልዪረMarch 6, 2025This was a beautiful and heart-warming movie that I’d definitely watch again. It’s based on one of Roald Dahl’s (bless him, one of the greatest writers to have ever lived) books, which had the same title. It centers around a young girl named Sophie who’s kidnapped by the a giant she later names the BFG after she sees him blowing a happy dream into a child’s room. Despite what you may think, the BFG is actually a very kind person- or giant as you might say. This movie was absolutely fantastically done. Almost everything about it was perfect- the acting, the CGI, the dialogue, etc. It might even be better than the book. The BFG is a truly wholesome character who is fiercely against his fellow giant’s monstrous ways (they eat people), even when they harass and destroy his most loved possessions- the dreams he collects and then gives to children. Speaking of which, the whole dream concept was lovely, and the scene where the BFG collects his dream was simply magical. Sophie is also an admirable character who is determined to stop the other giants and help her friend the BFG along the way. If you’re considering whether or not to watch this movie, DEFINITELY watch it. This is a movie sprinkled with humor, kindness, tears, and real spunk. It’s still one of the best movies I’ve ever watched. WATCH IT.
