OK, I'll start by saying I disagree with a lot of you in here. I've always been a huge fan of classic children's literature and film, and I enjoyed it just as much as the little ones I went with did. Rylance makes the language flow though and I can truly believe that this is authentic speech and that he really is sitting there trying to find the next word and then hilariously grumbuckling it up. My favorite part of this movie though is the BFG's dialect in most films that try to introduce a new English dialect, it feels forced and stilted - we know you're just reading lines. The long shots and dream-making scenes were very imaginative. The score is gorgeous, animation is stunning, Rylance and Barnhill pulled phenomenal acting chops to the table. It doesn't really break new ground in the story department, but then again, very few things do nowadays, and I think the little kids are least bothered by that. I thought this movie was seriously great, didn't feel any pacing problems at all. Honestly, I'm a little baffled by all the dissenting comments here and on other sites.
