I was very skeptical of Jumanji sequel or remake, then The Rock was announced to lead and I said.
"Well if the The Rock is on board, must be worth watching. He has charisma!"
Jack Black and Kevin Hart joined as well, and it got me excited for the film as I grew up watching the original Jumanji and I liked the cast. Part of me still thought the movie was going to fail, turn into a cheesy kids movie with eye-rolling comedy. I was so wrong, and I am glad I was wrong! This movie is everything I love about a popcorn flick, I cared about the characters, it was funny and Jack Black is the highlight of the movie. It has 76% critics review on rotten tomatoes and 90% audience score, it took The Last Jedi off the #1 on its 4th weekend and has reign every since. Now it leads International box office as it hits $768 Million Worldwide and doesn't seem to be slowing down. What is next? maybe a sequel?
