Jumanji (1995)
5/10
"The same kind of thing's gonna happen over and over and over."

Roll 1 for talented Robin Williams starring in yet another saccharine role that is completely beneath him.

Roll a 2 for ropy CGI effects that wouldn't even fool Stevie Wonder.

Roll a 3 for screamy shouty kids with clichéd "disfunctional" background.

Roll a 4 for charmless predictability, nauseating incidental music and unimaginative direction.

Roll a 5 - you've landed on the only inspired moment in the whole film - the CGI monkeys watching The Wizard of Oz and then trying to fly. A rare bit of inspiration - go back three spaces.

Roll a 6 for a one-joke film that seems to last four hours despite the fact it's only 95 minutes long.

Do not pass go. Do not collect £200.
