THE GIST: Four high-school kids serving detention together discover an old video game console and decide to give it a go. They discover too late that the game physically transforms them into the avatars of the characters they chose to play the game as and that, in order to get back to their reality, they need to successfully finish the game. If they do not, they'll be stuck in it forever.I remember watching the first Jumanji, the one with Robin Williams, and liking it enough to decide to give the sequel a chance. Was I pleasantly surprised!
Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle is a funny and engaging adventure that represents a welcome supercharged upgrade from the first chapter.
Dwayne Johnson, Kevin Hart, Jack Black, and Karen Black are perfectly cast as the four avatar characters and they all do a great job of playing with the dual personalities of the avatar and the "real player."
THE BOTTOM LINE: Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle is definitely a very good comedy-adventure flick that the whole family should enjoy.
Grade: 8
