Jumanji

• Hardcover by Chris Van Allsburg (1981)

  [9/10]

  "The movie adaptation of Jumanji creates a sloppy reflection of the artistic precision in Van Allsburg's illustrated story about two children who find a reality-altering game in the park."

• Film directed by Joe Johnston (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."
