I saw it, and I enjoyed it. I have been exposed to three versions of The BFG now; the book, the animated movie, and now this.

It was very well put together for the most part, and there were some lines that I remember being in the book (or possibly the animation, or both, but I'll have to check). The way the locations were designed was done nicely, with Dream Country looking very beautiful. There were of course changes, which I am fine with (I am officially okay with writers of remakes doing their own thing, because it is their version), and my only real criticisms are that the bad giants seemed too dumbed down (the Fleshlumpeater visits the BFG because he "has a boo-boo"?), and the way they were dealt with in the ending involved doing two different things, which made the first thing completely unnecessary.

(SPOILER)What they basically did, was they kept both the plan from both versions of sending the giants to somewhere where they can no longer harm any humans, and the idea of giving them a nightmare (this was done to the Fleshlumpeater only in both the book and the animation, but it was the latter that incorporated it into the big plan), in this movie, the nightmare is given to all the giants, but rather than be a nightmare loosely based on Jack and the Beanstalk it is a nightmare to make them feel guilty for eating humans, which ends up being pointless, because they are still captured, and sent away anyway. So why guilt them into never eating humans again, if you're just going to stop them by force anyway?

I suppose them being sent away could simply be their punishment, and it will be more of one because they genuinely feel bad about it, but still it seems like an odd change.
