The BFG (2016)

http://gb.imdb.com/title/tt3691740/

This adaptation fell far short of my expectations.  Not nearly scary enough and actually quite boring for the most part.  Excellent motion capture effects, some amazing looking sets and an endearingly scripted giant but the little girl is entirely tiresome and the plot lacks any sense of true peril.

Two stars*

* Or three if you're under the age of 8.
