The BFG is no ordinary bone-crunching giant. He is far too nice and jumbly. It's lucky for Sophie that he is. Had she been carried off in the middle of the night by the Bloodbottler, or any of the other giants—rather than the BFG—she would have soon become breakfast. When Sophie hears that the giants are flush-bunking off to England to swollomp a few nice little chiddlers, she decides she must stop them once and for all. And the BFG is going to help her!

"The BFG" remembers what it's like to see with the eyes of a child.

As a character, the BFG is a wondrous creation, and Rylance does a magnificent job bringing him to life.

Rylance has again brought something transformational to a Spielberg film. He gives the kind of performance you can't look away from, even with all the big-budget delights.

In recent years, Spielberg has become a hit-and-miss filmmaker and this is closer to a "miss" than a "hit."
