This looks cool. I've been waiting for Spielberg to do something fun again.

 

[Doctor Jones]

God, me too. This and Ready Player One actually make me look forward to a Spielberg film again. Bridge of Spies and Lincoln were great, but... it's just not the same for me.

 

[Black Narcissus]

Teaser did nothing for me. My cold bastah heart that can see through Spielberg's gimmicks. Goddamn it.

 

[terry78]

Spielberg's traits are only gimmicks when someone imitates it.

 

[Sawyer]

I'm anticipating the movie, but that teaser really didn't do as much for me as it seems to have done for the rest of you guys. I mean, it wasn't bad, but I'm not exactly breaking out the vaseline and tissues either.

 

[terry78]

As opposed to the times you....don't?

Disney's The BFG - Teaser Trailer

Does the title stand for Big ****ing Giant?

 

[Sithborg]

I'm anticipating the movie, but that teaser really didn't do as much for me as it seems to have done for the rest of you guys. I mean, it wasn't bad, but I'm not exactly breaking out the vaseline and tissues either.

It is an important book from my childhood that doesn't look horrible. That more than anything is what has me excited.

 

[Silvermoth]

Loving the look of it so far. It looks very Harry Potter ish

 

[The Joker]

Great looking teaser. I am so excited for this movie. The BFG was one of my favorite books as a kid. I can't wait to see what the nasty giants like the Fleshlumpeater are like.

 

[mclay18]

I'm getting an E.T. vibe from the teaser.

That's a good thing.

[terry78]

Full trailer. It does feel very Spielbergian.

[Lencho01]

Yep.

 

[mclay18]

Before anyone asks, "was that original music for BFG?", it's not.

It's music from Stardust, composed by Ilan Eshkeri.

Second trailer left me a bit cold.

 

[Octoberist]

The trailer was pretty but the giant himself..is a mixed bag of an effect (so far). We're not there yet when it comes to more humanoid type of CG characters.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

I liked everything but the look of the giants. Just took me out of it.

 

[dark_b]

when Spielberg starts using so fake cgi for characters you know its over.

 

[terry78]

Who did the CG for these exactly?

 

[CaptainWagner]

I really liked it. The CGI felt a bit off in some places, but not too bad.

 

[Sawyer]

I like the look of Rylance's giant.

 

[The Joker]

Not digging the look of the evil giants, but BFG and everything else looks great.

 

[jmc]

GC didn't look all that great in a few places, but does have a very unique look to it.

 

[Brother Jack]

Looks a little too CG saturated for me. But the BFG himself looked good. This will be the first kids movie Spielberg has made in a while. He hasn't made very many films that could strictly be considered children's films.

 

[spidey-dude]

god the CGI looked awful!!!

The BFG looked like he had no weight when he moves, like an old psone game

The girl looks cut from a greenscreen background

I was excited for htis but it looks awful
