Van Allsburg, Chris

• Jumanji (1995)

  [5/10]

  "A movie with a promising premise, but the frame stories created to present the premise lack adequate character development to make all the special effects worth watching, especially since half the characters have their development revoked at the end of the film."

• Zathura (2005)

  [6/10]

  "If you've seen Jumanji, then you pretty much have seen Zathura. In essence, a couple of kids find an old game, start to play, and then realize that the game affects reality in quite serious and perilous ways."

  Average score: 5.50
