Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle

[Sithborg]

Yeah, that bit at the end got me. This looks fun.

 

[DACrowe]

I have to admit I chuckled throughout, and it kind of looks better than the Tomb Raider trailer. Which is not what I expected.

 

[I Am The Knight]

That gag at the end actually got me. I guess I have to see this

 

[LoganPool]

I admit it looks fun, but there's just something missing from the original Jumanji game. Like, you knew you had to go from A to B to C to win the game, there was some kind of progress during that film that made it very very interesting. I don't feel anything like that in here, just a bunch of players doing a bunch of stuff.
Also, is that the same jungle in which Robin Williams' character was stuck on? And are those rhinos the same ones from the original game? If that's the case, there's something potentially interesting.

Yes, same Jungle. The film is suppose to have a really cool tribute to Robins character. We'll see.

As for this trailer, it got me laughing. I'm in.

 

[Broseph44]

Can't lie, it looks fun.

 

[Alien Anal]

Yeh ****...I actually enjoyed that. god damn it

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Well it has Karen Gillan and the Rock. So maybe I'll watch it.

 

[Dave McFly]

which makes no sense when grown up Alan and the kids beet the game the game reset and he went back to 1969 like it never happened but just retained the memory of the events. so there should not be any reference to him ever being there in this sequel as far as I can tell.

 

[lime]

This looks awful! I will pass.

 

[Fincher]

I don't care anything about Jumanji, but I'm actually pretty interested in this. It looks fun, and it has the video game angle working for it.

 

[Quasimod0]

I think this looks surprisingly fun!

 

[Iron_Stark]

This looks like fun. Funny how the trailers for this and Tomb Raider made me flip. Before the trailers I was going to skip this but watch TR. After seeing the trailers, I want to watch this and will probably skip Tomb Raider.

Pretty much this. I am mildly enthused for Jumanji. It looks to be a lot of fun and has a dope cast. While Tomb Raider fell victim to the video game movie curse after just the first trailer. Even the Assassin's Creed trailer wowed me visually before the movie inevitably sucking. This though? Well some money saved.

 

[Symbiotic]

MPAA rating: PG-13 for adventure action, suggestive content and some language.

This surprised me in a good way. I thought for sure they'd go PG.

 

[CB Fan]

The audience went wild with laughter watching this trailer in front of Thor.

 

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

Karen Gillan looks so hot in this!

 

[samsnee]

Wow, early reviews are actually....good?

[Teelie]

Not surprised. It looked like it could be good.

 

[Kane52630]

The new #Jumanji is a ton of fun and succeeds by not trying to make a film even remotely similar to the original. It's vindicated of comparisons, while also giving a nice nod or two to Robin Williams.

That's good to hear.

 

[Stringer]

It hasn't been presented as anything other than a fun and entertaining movie and it looks like it may accomplish that. I'm glad to hear it and will be getting exactly what I pay for.

 

[darthcoolness3]

wow, this movie isn't out yet, I was expecting it to come out during Summer 2017, with the way that the trailers presented it.

[Kahran Ramsus]

I hate to say it, but I actually think this looks amusing. And I didn't like the original.

 

[Web-Head]

Might end up checking this out, but I have to see Star Wars and hopefully Coco first. Depends on if my theater gets The Disaster Artist or Shape of Water though

YOU KNOW WHERE YOU ARE? YOU'RE IN THE JUNGLE BABY! YOU'RE GONNA DIE!!!! Seriously why is this called Welcome to the Jungle? Why couldn't this been called Jumanji 2: Into the Jungle or something because this is a sequel.

Because of “Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle” being a sequel (yup this movie is every way a sequel for it starts right after the first flick left off), people are going to walk into this with a certain bias due to two things: nostalgia and Robin Williams. I hate to break it to you this way but the 1995 “Jumanji” wasn’t a good movie, and this is coming from someone who watched both films within the same day.

What the first Jumanji heavily lacked was a consistent tone. The original film was about this boy named Alex Parrish who got trapped in a board game for 26 years, and since nobody couldn't find him, the entire town went to **** because of it. So when Parrish (Williams) is awakened by two kids when they stumble upon the game, the story just becomes a depressing tale of a kid trapped in a man’s body while having to finish this silly board game where everything comes to life and it chaos ensues. It was tonally confused with what it wanted to be. On the one hand, it wanted to be this grim story of a kid in a man’s body (similar to “Big”) who has to adapt to being an adult and trying to uncover the mysteries of his past. On the other hand, it wanted to be this adventure of having to finish this board game where everything comes to life before terribly computer-generated animals destroy their town. Seriously even by 1995 standards, the CG for that film was god awful. Aliens came out in 1986, and that had better visuals than the 1995 film. Jumanji wasn’t made on the cheap but yet it looked so cheap. It was not a good movie.

Now since I got that out of the way, I have to admit something that might as well offend you. Don’t burn me to a stake when I say that this is one of those rare sequels that is FAR MUCH BETTER THAN ITS PREDECESSOR! “Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle” is a sequel that realizes all of its shortcomings of the original and decides to roll the dice with a story that thankfully doesn’t take itself too seriously for a single minute.
