This movie is a clear sequel. Not a remake. Robin Williams character is mentioned and the beginning takes place in 1996 when they find the board game again 

Yes I know, but I'm saying there were many on the internet hating on this when the trailers hit because they were acting all nostalgic like the first is some all time classic and this was here to ruin their childhood. Hey, I'm a 90's kid who did grow up watching the first and even I will be the first to say it's not some sacred legacy to ruin.

lol had the chance to see this tonight and was like nahhhh. I can wait to watch it at home unless it's free. There's no way it comes close to the original in characters or heart.

The original is considered iconic to many who saw it in theaters when it was released.

Yeah, it's fine. I totally agree that the third act is the least engaging. It definitely had some pacing issues in my opinion. Acting was fine and it will do well with families i'm sure. The crowd seemed to really enjoy it.

I thought about going to see it tonight but my wife was like, why when we can just wait and use our movie pass. 

 

I think it looks really funny and entertaining

I love that cute red hair girl ...

Jumanji '95 is not that good, sorry not sorry. The bookended scenes with young Robin Williams and Bonnie Hunt, so cheesy. The actors make it pleasant enough, though.

I'm glad im not the only one that thinks this I mean I don't hate the movie but everybody acts like its some national treasure that shouldn't touched and I never got that

[iHeartJames]

I really have no plans to see this movie but im glad its getting decent reviews cuz there's something about The Rock that makes me wanna root for everything he does and see him win.

Chris Hewitt from Empire tweeted that this wasn’t as bad as he expected.

 

I still think it looks abysmal.

I honestly think this will be the films saving grace. Everyone is expecting complete trash, and even though the film really isnt good, it's probably better than most are expecting it to be.

Genuinely surprised reviews are good for this. And no, the first is not some sacred classic — that's nostalgia fetishism gone mad.

I remember telling my housemates during uni that the first movie wasn't as good as they remember, and to watch a another movie. We turned that shit off half way through

It's based off five "major" reviews. The overall percentage average is also only 6.0 though, so expect it to drop a bit.

Watched the Collider review

 

Perri - 7/10

Dennis - 6/10

So I watched the movie. It was okay. The beginning 40 minutes were awesome and had a really good build up. After that the movie just kept worsening. My feelings went from this is such an awesome movie to ahh this is okay to this is sub par okay (This watchable but would never watch it again).

Just got in from seeing it this evening, I had a blast. Great chemistry between characters, and Jables in particular was excellent. Some fun action scenes thrown in too. Really hope this can crack $150m+

QUESTION: Is "Welcome to the Jungle" in this, or is the trailer deceiving me?
