This movie is, at best, alright. If you're looking for a good movie to take your kids to, this will do, but there isn't really anything to hold onto for older audience members. I thought the little girl's performance was really awkward and unnatural at parts, a lot of the dialogue/sequence of events seemed pretty forced, and while the motion capture was really well done, any time the girl and the BFG were in the same shot the blue screen was painfully obvious. Not to mention that the last third of the movie is pretty boring (it was really testing my patience). Spielberg is a great director in his own right, so he does an overall good job with an incredibly lackluster script, but even so, there isn't much of anything here that you could call noteworthy in any way.
