I and my family went to see Jumanji today. We went in with low expectations because we loved the first one. Really enjoyable, so many laughs! The movie is well paced, great cast, great action sequences...Dwayne J...Mr the Rock..I called him was hilarious and macho at the same time. I liked the way they made the jumanji board game into a video game, what a great idea, it doesn't take anything away from the original movie. I think this is a must see movie, for all the family.
The comedy is top notch and honestly Jack Black steals the show. There were a 2 or 3 jokes I didn't think should be in the movie because younger kids will be watching; the movie was labeled PG13. Like the pee thing..my 7 years old niece didn't get the jokes. Other than that the action, comedy, and story are all top notch. Basically, the storyline is four high school kids discover an old video game console and are drawn into the game's jungle setting, literally becoming the adult avatars they chose. What they discover is that you don't just play Jumanji - you must survive it. To beat the game and return to the real world, they'll have to go on the most dangerous adventure of their lives, discover what one teenager... Alan Parrish left 20 years ago, and change the way they think about themselves - or they'll be stuck in the game forever.
