Zathura is an awful piece of crap
This movie is so boring that I rather sit trough Message in a bottle rather than see this again!
shareWELL I *beep* LOVED IT!
WHYD U WATCH IT IF YOU THOUGHT IT WAS BORING?
I felt like,
"This guy's really hurting me."
And it hurt.
Well, first of all, to the people who say "Why did you watch it?" or "Don't watch it if you don't like it", I'm assuming that if someone didn't like this movie that they aren't going to watch it again, and obviously did not know prior to watching it that they wouldn't enjoy it. That's just ridiculous.
I'm in the middle of watching this movie right now. Hadn't really ever intended to but Jumanji was on TV and I got curious.
I have no problem with the fact that this is supposed to be a sequel to Jumanji or the fact that they have similar plots. However, I find that the "problems" that arise are very poorly written. Now, someone mentioned a book and I'll admit I've never read it, and I don't know if these events are what are in the book but they seemed overdramatized and rather stupid. Biggest example is after the robot appears and has his arms stuck in the wall, the older boy notices the key to the game near a hole in the floor. I thought that was played up unnecessarily. I get that there was a robot right near by, but really, that key was not very close to that hole, and did he really have to drop to the ground like that? Not sure if thats the fault of the writers or the actors, but I found it to be, honestly, laughable.
Thats just one example. Obviously, I haven't finished watching, so I can't make an overall statement about the movie. I do agree that the characters aren't very likeable. Not necessarily UNlikeable, just.... boring. And it keeps bugging me, and distracting me, that other than when she falls down the stairs and they bring her back up, theres no real mention of the sister. No "Only 1 more turn and she'll be un-frozen" or "Holy crap I hope that meteor didn't go through her head". *shrug* I keep saying to myself, 'Wait, was that 4 turns or 5? I coulda sworn they already hit 5 turns already'
I'm doing my best to ignore the fact that they're in space and don't need air (yet its mentioned), and theres gaping holes in the side of the house and they walk out on the front porch. Not to mention the fact that the astronaut shows up with a helmet on. A little odd, but hey, its a kids movie.
Well, thats my bit. :)
The topic of this thread made me laugh -- because I really couldn't agree more!! I have to admit I didn't know this movie was meant as the sequel to Jumanji when I saw it, and it bugged the ***** out of me that it was such a rip-off! It wasn't only inspired by Jumanji, or using some of the plotlines, it was a complete copy! Just without fun or surprise, or any common sense -- and I don't care that it's a kiddie's movie. I mean, come on: great big gaping holes in the side of the house, but the atmosphere's still breathable... I think I fast-forwarded through about 75% of it and I STILL felt like I'd wasted time!
shareits a magical board game that sends a house into deep space and zorgons exist and tiny robots grow and try to kill you, if it was real space normal physics would apply but they are actually inside the game, the laws have changed, it possible inside it to breathe inside a house and stay on the ground, the house also does not get destroyed by the gravitational pull and fire burns in space. It is a fantasy really, you can't pick holes in this film because the board game is making it all happen
"sir, sir, i gotta check and see if you've soiled yourself, I'll get to you in a moment, sir!"
