Let me tell you a little bit about my tastes when it comes to movies with CGI characters, because I think that my tastes are a lot like general audiences. When I see a movie with CGI characters, what I'm looking for are adorable characters who I wouldn't see in everyday life. Now take 'The BFG,' a movie with a CGI grandpa. How am I supposed to get excited about seeing a big grandpa. Give me a talking toaster or cowboy doll. Also, I know that BFG stands for Big Friendly Giant, but I keep thinking it stands for Big F(word) Giant. I'm not taking my kids to see that!
This Steven Spielberg directed movie has a seventy five percent on Rotten Tomatoes, but even when a movie is good, it's no guarantee that'll it'll do well in the box office.
