It’s not the whole franchise, so that’s not entirely accurate, and 2. the movie they’re referencing was the weakest of all the Jumanji cash-grabs (funded in no small part by Hart & Johnson), so there’s little likelihood that anyone would complain — Besides, it’s the fuckin’ Muppets! Let’s go-o-o-o!
Whoa whoa whoa - the Jumanji reboot was excellent. It’s still a kids movie, but Jack Black was amazing, and even Kevin “Homophobe” Hart showed some chops. And the Rock and Karen Gilliam are both good as always.
Yes, it’s a derivative recycle of existing IP capitalizing on nostalgia, but everything now is a derivative recycle of existing IP capitalizing on nostalgia. At least they updated the board game idea to have fun 80s video game call backs and tried their best for a good script and good acting. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Wait, but the new jumanji beats Zathura by a long shot, both pale to original jumanji.
Every bullshit attempt after the Robin Williams classic isn’t worth being referred to as a Jumanji movie. Case closed.
