'Jumanji: Welcome To The Jungle' Review Roundup: Sequel Serves Up Mixed Opinions

International Business Times

"Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle," the sequel to the 1995 film starring the late Robin Williams, is now out in theaters and critics have a lot to say about it. Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, Kevin Hart, Jack Black and Karen Gillan teamed up for the new flick, which now features the Jumanji board game as a video game instead, but while some reviewers think the star power is just the icing on the cake, others don't even think the big names save the movie. Here's what critics are saying about "Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle." "'Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle,' a sequel no one asked for to the 1995 Robin Williams original as well as the animated TV series, has enough star power and comic zest to deliver a fun time at the movies. OK, just barely, but we'll take what we can get. "This updated'Jumanji' can't outrun the clichés on its tail, but its puppy-eagerness to please is hard to resist." "Although the action sequences are a bit rote and it always feels like the movie could go further with its satire of video games, the film succeeds thanks to its outstanding cast who have excellent comedic chemistry.


Is 'Jumanji 2' A Video Game? Board Game Eliminated From Remake

International Business Times

"Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle" trailer made its debut Thursday without the board game in sight. Instead, the makers of the film decided to give the original a facelift, swapping out the outdated board game concept for a digitized video game. As a result, fans of the 1995 film may not be satisfied with this modernized transformation. Eliminating the board game came naturally to the makers behind the reboot. During a CinemaCon interview in March, the film's Director Jake Kasdan -- "Bad Teacher" -- spoke with Forbes about what led to the use of video game tropes instead of the outdated board game concept.

Four detention-bound teenagers are thrust into a mysterious game in the first "Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle" trailer, literally forced into the bodies of their avatars -- played by Dwayne Johnson, Kevin Hart, Karen Gillan and Jack Black. "I think we got sucked into Jumanji and we've become the avatars that we chose," Johnson's geeky Spencer observes after they land in the jungle with new identities. Instead of a board game, however, the Sony-Columbia reboot features Jumanji as a retro video game console. Judging from the trailer, unlike its 1995 predecessor, the film appears to lean quite heavily on comedy in addition to action and adventure.
