Le Bon Gros Géant (Mark Rylance) ne ressemble pas du tout aux autres habitants du Pays des Géants. Il mesure plus de 7 mètres de haut et possède de grandes oreilles et un odorat très fin. Il n'est pas très malin mais tout à fait adorable, et assez secret. Les géants comme le Buveur de sang (Bill Hader) et l'Avaleur de chair fraîche (Jemaine Clement), sont deux fois plus grands que lui et aux moins deux fois plus effrayants, et en plus, ils mangent les humains. Le BGG, lui, préfère les schnockombres et la frambouille. À son arrivée au Pays des Géants, la petite Sophie, une enfant précoce de 10 ans qui habite Londres, a d'abord peur de ce mystérieux géant qui l'a emmenée dans sa grotte, mais elle va vite se rendre compte qu'il est très gentil. Comme elle n'a encore jamais vu de géant, elle a beaucoup de questions à lui poser. Le BGG emmène alors Sophie au Pays des Rêves, où il recueille les rêves et les envoie aux enfants. Il va tout apprendre à Sophie sur la magie et le mystère des rêves... (Metropolitan FilmExport)

The movie didn't seem bad for the most part, but from the first scene with the Queen, I liked it less and less. From then on, it seemed to be aimed purely at a children’s audience, the dialogue and would-be funny scenes got infantile to the point that I didn't even want to wait and see how the story would end. I stuck it out and got the expected dose of poignant speeches and British army heroism. To sum it up, about 60% of the film was entertaining, the rest was terrible. The funniest character was definitely the Fleshlumpeater, the main antagonist, excellently voiced by Jemaine Clement.

Un peu d'agit-prop végétarienne :-) Apparemment, le faible de Spielberg pour le charisme d'acteur de Mark Rylance a relancé ce projet. Ainsi que les possibilités du studio WETA Digital qu'il n'avait pas à sa disposition dans les années 80. Un voyage magique dans l'imagination des enfants, coloré par John Williams, embelli par des décors soignés et émotionnellement enrichi par les yeux de Rylance et la capture de ses mouvements. Le thème poétique des rêves et de la conception du pays des géants sont largement exploités et l'intrigue est imprévisible. Sans ces étranges événements qui se produisent dans le dernier tiers du film, cela aurait été une suite digne des meilleurs contes de Spielberg.

A pretty enjoyable fairy tale from Spielberg on a subject I like and is somewhat rare these days, it's just a shame that the appropriate age range is around 13. The downside is the plodding pace which detracts from the fun and the leading girl got on my nerves like no one has in a long time (I would go crazy if I had a British intellectual woman like her at home). The visuals were nice and the evil giants managed to take care of the suspense. 60%

I’ve no idea why Spielberg chose this bland fairytale for a movie. It’s an average borefest that will barely entertain the kids, but with beautiful music by Williams. The only fun moments are when they fart.

A magical Disney fantasy movie about a girl who "still has a lot of dreams to catch" and a giant who can make those dreams - at least some of them - come true. Steven Spielberg has given The BFG with his trademark perfectionism, and although it is indeed primarily a film intended for children, adults will also find something to like in it if at least a little bit of a child remains in them. After all, the message of this rarely unhurried film is so universal... The two lead actors (Ruby Barnhill, who I hope we'll hear from again, and the digital Mark Rylance, whose digital form hasn't taken anything away from him) are terrific, the direction has plenty of ideas (the giant's hiding from humans, Sophie's hiding from ogres), the scenes are magnificent (dream catching), and the humor, unlike Hook, is perhaps not downright simple (not even in the case of the farting, which is very funny). John Williams' music, reminiscent of Home Alone in places, is once again perfect, this time adorned with beautiful flute solos. I'm just a little sorry that The BFG got to the movie theatres only with dubbing. It's not bad, but you can see that in the original version some of the emotional scenes will be even more emotional. And I'm saving the fifth star for that.

A pleasant, beautifully shot visual treat with nothing wrong filmmaking-wise, but the whole thing flows so casually, freely and focused that everyone will be looking only for the flaws. Magical atmosphere, lovely cinematography and setting, irresistibly charismatic Mark Rylance.... Spielberg can create family stories around child heroes more engagingly than anyone ever.

Ugly tech demo. In a couple of decades people will think that in the early 21st century they gave tax breaks for movies with digital giants.

I'll admit, I didn't have high expectations for this Steven Spielberg film, but it simply turned out that he knows how to direct, and Roald Dahl wrote intriguing source material. The story is lovely, and imaginative, but the execution mainly relies on fantastic visuals, which were successful. There is little to fault with that. The characters are often almost unnecessary, the best being the BFG and Sophie, which is probably to be expected.
