Jumanji pt. 2
21 December 2006
"Zathura" could have easily been titled Jumanji 2, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. "Zathura", a movie about a game in which you actually experience what the cards read, had "Jumanji" written all over it. There were some subtle differences: the setting was in space and the incidents that occurred to the children was based upon the card they pulled. Personally, I tend to dislike movies with bratty kids and this one had three of them. But, the adventures they went through were interesting and I thought Dax Shepard (from "Without a Paddle") really livened up the movie. I don't think this movie could have held its own with just the two little boys and an older yet absent sister the entire time.

It was a fun, adventurous movie; nothing too spectacular, but it was good.
