    Whoa whoa whoa - the Jumanji reboot was excellent. It’s still a kids movie, but Jack Black was amazing, and even Kevin “Homophobe” Hart showed some chops. And the Rock and Karen Gilliam are both good as always.

    Yes, it’s a derivative recycle of existing IP capitalizing on nostalgia, but everything now is a derivative recycle of existing IP capitalizing on nostalgia. At least they updated the board game idea to have fun 80s video game call backs and tried their best for a good script and good acting. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
