The BFG review
Roald Dahl’s classic 1982 children’s novel has come to the big screen under the direction of Steven Spielberg and with a budget that’s more than giant sized. So how does it fare?
Fine really. There’s enough good material in the book to make scripting duties by the late Melissa Mathison (who also wrote E.T. with Spielberg back in day) a relatively simple matter and she has done little to change events, bar a tad fewer whizzpops and a bit more action.
