Jumanji Welcome to the Jungle
SCORE: 76
I am so thankful we had enough money to
purchase Jumanji Welcome to the Jungle on Blu-ray when it went on sale
for ten dollars at a local retailer. I have been burned on Dwayne
Johnson movies before. I am not a fan of most of his movies. He does a
decent job in Jumanji Welcome to the Jungle. Jack Black, Kevin Hart, and
Karen Gillan are amazing in this movie.
The premise is four high school kids get sucked into Jumanji which
upgraded into a video game. There is another kid who has been trapped in
this Jumanji video game for twenty years. The kids take on roles and
bodies of specific characters. The prissy pretty girl who takes on the
role of Jack Black is hilarious on so many levels. The differences
between men and women are explored.
The issues families can have are bad language, lack of attire,
enticement to lust (as some images on this page show), violence, sexual
innuendo, and more. The bad language could and should have been left out
of Jumanji Welcome to the Jungle. It does nothing to enhance this movie.
In fact it detracts from it.
Normally I am not big on remakes. Jumanji Welcome to the Jungle does it
right. This movie has numerous funny moments. Calling out all of your
moves is obnoxious and makes no sense for anyone who calls themselves a
gamer. Holly Weird rarely gets things right though.
It is different that the real world is not impacted by Jumanji Welcome
to the Jungle. That is one of the cool things about the first one. I do
like the teens going into the game and having lives in it. They never
did explore what happens when someone loses all of their lives.
Jumanji Welcome to the Jungle is PG-13 for good reasons. Our family
enjoyed Jumanji Welcome to the Jungle or all of its humor. A few things
have been cleaned up to make this movie better.
