Children's Stories about "Giants" or a "Giant", is an Anachronistic Nightmare. The World has become so Scary and Technologically Sophisticated that there are other "Monsters" Afoot that Invade the Sub-Conscious of the Little Ones.
So this is a Tale of Old, or Today might be Called "Old School". That may be Why it Infamously Flopped "Big" Time at the Box-Office. Disney and Director Spielberg did turn a Profit with its Worldwide Distribution.
The Book from Roald Dahl is said to be more Edgy and Frightening then this Squeaky Clean Adaptation from the Prolific and Popular FFD (Family Friendly Director/Disney).
Acknowledging that Fact and moving on, this is a Seamlessly Effective Special Effects Fantasy that can certainly Entertain if one Adapts to the Premise.
The Film, while Charming, well Acted, and Word-Play Witty is Lacking an Urgency that Moderns are Accustomed. The Third Act Falls Flat and Fails to End this Noble Nod to Dated Delights of the Past.
Mark Rylance as the Titular Character has Received Accolades and Ruby Barnhill as the Little Girl do have a Chemistry and Their Bonding is Believable. The Film has a Beautiful Bounty and the Dream Catching Scenes Stand Out along with the Delightfully Detailed BFG Cave.
Overall, the Movie is a Minor Spielberg Effort, as it Stands Today, and an Anomaly that Attempted to Go Against the Grain of Modern Modes of Expectations.
