AVClub: Man-eating monsters, plucky orphans, fart jokes: Some things never go out of fashion, at least for readers of a certain age.

But now that the feature-film version has finally arrived, with blockbuster maestro Steven Spielberg pulling the strings and Disney fronting the bill, it’s easier to understand why it took so long: To watch the new live-action BFG is to wonder whether this beloved tale—rich with ostensibly cinematic elements, from skyscraping villains to a sprawling fantasy world—even really belongs on the big screen. Moving it there has somehow shrunk its humongous pleasures.
