Summary: Giants have not exactly gotten the best of reputations here. Most of the time, they are portrayed as big dumb cannibals that must be avoided at all costs. However, while this film is no exception, it does feature perhaps one of the most beloved humans in literature to stand over fifty feet tall.

History: One day in England, little orphan Sophie is taken from the orphanage by a giant hand and carried all the way to a place called Giant Country. Her captor is known as the BFG, mainly because he likes to be friends with humans instead of eating them like his thuggish neighbors do all the time. Naturally, this makes him a total outcast among his peers, who see him as little more than a decent medic instead of a wonderous guy who can manifest dreams for the people. While he and Sophie do get along, they find themselves having to stop an assault on England led by the bad giants...

Notable Kills: Nothing special.

Final Fate: The BFG and Sophie are able to get the Queen and the army to intercept the other giants before they can do much damage. The two even manage to conjure up a horrible dream that causes the big thugs to suffer from major guilt, with the exception of the Fleshlumpeater, who's given another nightmare. The giants are sent to a deserted island where they can only feast on disgusting snozzcumbers. Meanwhile, the BFG lives in a more peaceful Giant Country while Sophie gets adopted by the Queen.

Powers/Abilities: It is not known if this power is unique to the BFG, but he can conjure up dreams of all kinds with the right tools.

Weakness: Heavy artillery.

Scariness Factor: 3-The regular giants look like the kind of people you'd encounter at a particularly nasty Viking-themed bar, especially guys like the Fleshlumpeater. The difference is that they are bigger than your house and want to eat everyone. It doesn't stop them from getting taken down rather easily, but still. As for the BFG, there's not a bad bone in his body, so no worries about that.

Trivia: -The author of the original book, Road Dahl, actually enjoyed this adaptation of one of his works, something that was very rare for him to express. Some say he even applauded all the way to the end credits.

-Originally, Robin Williams was slated to play the titular character, but this was long before his death, and in the end, acclaimed London actor Mark Rylance was given the role.
