So, let me get this straight, this movie is Disney + Spielberg + plenty of money, yet it somehow still turns out like complete shit. WHY?

Whelp
holy shit bill maher looks like hell.

It's a movie made for nobody and BFG as a weapon is well established in pop culture.
i liked it

>and BFG as a weapon is well established in pop culture.
Oh shut up with this, no one cares about Doom or your huge guts
>>71667426
Not to mention that this movie had:
-Terrible dialogue
-Flat, anticlimactic "plot"
-Zero character development
>>71667631
>google "BFG"
>first link is to wikipedia article BFG9000
No one even remembers what this is. Its like trying to sell The Lone Ranger to today's teenagers by throwing in Johnny Depp

I never saw a trailer for it.
Or a commercial.
I saw one billboard.
Ugly CGI mixed with live action, children's film released too close to a Pixar movie and also has a horrible name.
And that is how it failed.
>>71667323
Spielberg lost it and hasn't made a good flick in almost 20 years. It really shouldn't be surprising.
muh disney paid reviews
>>71667846
>bombed
>still has great ratings
disney controlling rotten tomatoes confirmed.
>>71667456
this comment is deserving of praise
>>71668090
His last great movie is Munich
>>71667529
The BFG has been a best-selling children's book since it was first published in 1982, eleven years before Doom was even a thing.
The movie apparently isn't bad, it just wasn't marketed well and was released in a crowded summer.
Seriously, W H Y did Disney release this so close to Finding Dory? They're competing with themselves, it's utterly retarded. If they had waited until Fall they probably could have found an audience.

When I heard BFG the first time in the context of video games I thought there was a Big Friendly Giant game I didn't know about. Roald Dahl books are awesome.
>>71667323
people rather go watch a movie about a character/world they're familiar with than to watch something new.
this probably could've had a decent reception if it was not released within a month of a PIXAR movie.
fuckin' idiots
>>71667323
once again hollywood underestimates the general public
>>71667323
Plebs finally realized Spielberg can't make anything good anymore.
>>71667631
I've never even played doom and I associate bfg with big fucking gone. It's definitely a vague title and hurt the movie financially
>>71667323
giant hook nose
>>71667323
because success in the movie business breeds contempt
the movie will be excellent for everyone that knows and understands that
>>71667323
Does Spielberg even make good movies anymore?
>>71669073
I don't know a single person who's heard of it. I've never seen the name mentioned in my life
I just need someone who liked BvS to tell me he liked it and I'll watch it.

Munich was his last good movie and jurassic park was his last great movie, so no.
>>71669581
Giants are supposed to be ugly, it's because they're so evil
>>71669633
new movie-wise

the initial post compared the quality of the ip in terms of one being new
get better at writing or just stop posting anytime
>BFG
Is this a DOOM movie?

No. The movie was shit. Have you guys even watched it? It doesn't matter when they released it. It's boring as fuck, has shitty characters, and the plot is a flat fucking line.
>>71669616
How underage are you.
>>71669876
no but it sure was from the title reveal
>>71669876
It is a doomed movie.

watched this in 4dx, the effects were cool
Does BFG stand for Big Fucking Guys or what?
>>71672107
(((Spielberg))) has always been a hack no surprise here.
>>71672298
this, his only good movie is Raiders
>>71667546
how come they still cant get the cgi backgrounds to merge with foreground character?
they should be able to do this by now.
>>71667323
I hope this is the end of reboots. The original movie was comfy and heartfelt, this comes across as soulless garbage.
Death to Hollywood.
I could have sworn the BFG was a motion cap of Edward Norton.
Big Flopping SpielberG

Top kek
The acronym name isn't clever and the frequency with which they use makes it kind of cringy. Everything having to do with and occurring after the exposure of the existence of giants to the real world is pretty much shit.
Apart from that is was mostly great.
I'll bet dollars to donuts that if they had called it The Big Friendly Giant instead of The BFG, it would have done better.
This is how consumerism works.
>ugly, ancient giant
It's not appealing
Summer release vs your popular sequel (Finding Dory)
Calling it BFG instead of Big Friendly Giant
Expect $100 million opening weekend
>Immortal
>Old as the Earth
>Human level intelligence
>Still act like retards and know next to nothing about the world they've been living in for millions of years
>>71667323
>remove conflict from entire film because it's too dark
>no one cares about just watching a kid and giant hang out
Why would any kid want to watch a movie about a book their parents read when they were kids?
>>71675630
Because parents often influence their chilldren's taste in entertainment? Or because stories written for children are often enjoyed by children regardless of generation?
Just off the top of my head.
>an old guy abducts a girl at night to play with him
gee i wonder wtf it bombed
>>71667323
BFG means Big Fucking Gun, you can't just appropriate it like some fucking SJW and call it Big Friendly Giant now, I'm happy it bombed, it was doomed from the beginning.
>>71667323
The title is fucking stupid. I know it's named after the book but it's still a bad title.
They released it while Finding Dory is still going strong. They didn't market it well and from what I've seen it doesn't look particularly memorable.
>>71667323
AHEM!
Just why the HELL is the BFG not being played by a POC? At the very least a CGI POC??
>>71667323
who was this movie for anyways. I get that it was a book but holy fuck does this look repulsive. I cant imagine any kid wanting to see this. Why are hollywood execs so out of fucking touch? I would really like to know the talks they have and their opinions on what they think sells or makes a good movie. I find it fascinating that they dump so much fucking money on piles of unwatchable shit.
>>71669616
this im a lvl 33 wiz for god sakes and this is pretty fucking weird. Was this big in euro land or am I just finding something else out about this wonky berenstain dimension
>>71667323
how out of touch are spielberg and lucas? they both made shitty CGI movies in the past year (Strange Magic) and both flopped tremendously.
Is this a 30 Rock prequel?

BFG was good until the third act, which was bafflingly dumb

It's terrible because it's Roald Dahl dogshit.

More like Rofl Dahl
