We can not forget the classic Jumanji! You know the one that gave kids nightmares with their CGI rhinos and monkeys. It's a classic tale of rebirth and love, all the while trying to beat a killer game. It was a movie that would go down for the ages. With the announcement of the sequel or remake, still not sure what it exactly is, a lot of people were kind of upset and angry. Why would anyone try to remake Jumanji?
Still, that didn't stop them from having a pretty good cast. Dwayne Johnson has been expanding his acting resume. He has been starring in a few different genres that have played in his favor. Kevin Hart gave the movie spunk and ensured that the audience would be laughing. Jack Black is just Jack Black. He does his own thing. No one really knows what he might do but he does it and it's good.
The movie surrounds the same concepts as the original. There is a game that if you play it you need to complete it in order for everything to go back to normal. Except, it is now a video game. They didn't spend too much time explaining how it transformed into a video game but they at least showed it happening. It just changed. It has a mind of its own and knew that time is changing.
The new twist with the game is that if you die in the game, after losing your three lives, you actually die. The game takes all the characters and makes them characters of the game. They have to stop the villain and break the curse that has taken over the land. After snakes, fights and dance fighting, they learn to bond together and get through the game, all the while blooming real-life friendships.
It's not the original Jumanji, but rather the new Jumanji for the kids of this time. It has a very good concept, excellent writing, and a loving message.
