Thought the exact same thing

I keep wanting to call it Big F****ing Giant. Pretty sure it's Big Friendly Giant.

Doesn't show us much but it should be a good movie with the talent involved. The glimpse of the BFG gave me Jack the Giant Slayer vibes.

Found this today. Very excited about this movie. Hope it has decent 3D.

Thanks Dartfrog.
I saw the 3D trailer. A good number of strong 3D shots in BFG's trailer. Looks very promising for the 3D.

Steedeel · 05-14-2016, 10:30 PM

Loads of potential this one.

xbs2034 · 05-16-2016, 03:19 AM

A new trailer. And interesting that this one spells out that BFG stands for "Big Friendly Giant", I bet Disney heard some of the confusion.

Thanks. Pretty sure this is the exact one shown in 3D in the theater, with a nice range of strong 3D and some medium 3D layers. The 3d looks great so far.

I missed the part that says Big Friendly Giant in the trailer. Only saw BFG, though I skimmed through to the end credits.

Looks so much like Jack the Giant Slayer it's unbelievable. Spielberg even steals a shot from that movie when we are seeing things from the little girls perspective as the giant carries her around his home. Jack the Giant Slayer had an exact same shot when the heroine is in a cage and the main giant is carrying her around.

Gizz · 05-17-2016, 07:51 AM

I think I am the only person not looking forward to this. Just not a fan of BFG at all.

Wow!, And it's predicted to be the biggest box off hit of all time.

Of all time? That's a big prediction. I haven't heard that info yet. Source or link? Or are you half joking since it's not as widely appealing as a Jurassic, Superhero or Star Wars movie for example? Thanks.

Both based on classic stories about giants, but the similarities are there, agreed.

I really liked that movie. I have seen it at least 4 times. lol

And this was in the article that I posted "Movie opens July 1st from Amblin-Disney for July 4th weekend. It will set a record for an original non sequel film. Just wait."

Thanks Dartfrog for clearing it up. Yes, time will tell how well it does. Sometimes the critics are off target, but hopefully it's a good movie and does well. Disney has a lot of influence in theaters.

Yes, I also liked Jack the Giant Slayer, and agree the 3D could've been better. It's good, but could've been great.
