9:10-11:31 You made an incredibly strong point about the original Jumanji game being a threatening place that you can't possibly go to. You've done some good research, well done👏.
Jumanj i 2 is a Great sequel But i would not call it a Sequel but Alt, yes the narrative is good But Jumanji 1 is way better, nothing can touch Robin Williams performance and the magic he brings to the film, the film is magic and Bonnie Hunt, the officer, the dad, the children do awesome Acting in the film as well
The movie was decent and a little funny. But the jungle was so disappointing. This would have worked better as a horror movie. The jungle we hear about in the original is like a terrible frightening hellscape. Here it's just like a fun romp with no fear to it
I think it may have been if they had just remade the original with modern movie technology and in 3D. Just imagining the 1st but up to date and in 3D makes me hate whoever thought to make the "sequel" smh.
It should be obvious that _Jurassic Park_ would win that battle, but too be fair _Jurassic World_ was still really good. Perhaps the second best film in the series.
Clayton Luce but then again it's the same kinda story I know they made a mutant dino but then again it's like the original dino park dino gets loose two annoying kids are in it and t rex is boss character 😂😂
Even though I loved both Jumanji movies, this is probably one of my favorite review channels! I love how brutally honest you are in your reviews and how passionate you are when talking about a movie.
Robin Williams is easily my favorite actor and I think he is one of the best of all time and truly puts his heart and soul into every film he was in. RIP Robin Williams
You are one of the best youtubers ever. Even though u may get dislikes because of people disagreeing u still say your honest opinion and don't care about haters. That is amazing!!!
@Hewy Toonmore Personally I really like the new Jumanji movies. I know theyre not for everyone and i know compared to the original theyre greatly inferior. But as stand alone movies i like them just fine. The Next Level especially since it helped as a pallet clenser after i saw Rise of Skywalker. I know that sounds like a back handed compliment but i really mean what i say when i say that compared to Rise of Skywalker, the Jumaniji reboot films just had more life to them. After I saw Rise of Skywalker i felt so empty inside, so when i saw Jumanji Next Level with my parents, it helped lift my spirits. And upon second viewing i found myself actually liking it more. It really helps that my second viewing was one of the last films i saw in theaters with a group friends before the pandemic happened so it kinda has a sentimental place in my heart. Yes these movie are far from perfect, but i still liked them regarldess.
Exactly the way Alan described the jungle and the way the animals looked when they came out made it seem like they were not real animals but interpretations that the game gave you making them extremely terrifying like giant man eating vines, giant mosquitos and huge freaking spiders but the new movie just felt to real and to boring.
Yes! A new video!(I was running out of videos to binge on your channel) When I first saw Jumanji 2, I thought it was pretty good and stick by that. But after seeing the original again, I definitely see where your criticisms lie. I also wanted to thank you for replying to my comment on the Justice league vs the avengers. Some youtubers don't even read their comment section. Plus you made me realize how I used ,"opinionated"was vague and not well put together. Can't wait for the next one. :)
I completely agree with everything, Jumanji is supposed to be hell, it's supposed to be exaggerated. Jumanji is supposed to target its players fears, remember the game is evil. In the second movie, it just seems mindless. Remember "What do you mean the game thinks?"
My parents told me that when I was a kid. It blew my mind as I didn't know it was even allowed for actors to play more than one role in a movie. Regardless, thanks for the info Lily!
I think that's kind of a Peter Pan thing. As in, the actor who usually plays Mr Darling also plays Captain Hook. This was how they had it in the original disney film, in the play and also in the 2003 remake.
I think Jumanji is more of a cult classic film more than a classic film in of itself, but it doesn't mean that it's a bad movie. I don't love it as much as I used to; Jumanji Welcome to the Jungle is a movie that surprised me that it even got good reviews (I was expecting another Ghostbusters 2016 scenario) at all. However me and my family went to see it in the theaters and was pleasantly surprised by a good chunk of the film. It wasn't my favorite movie of the year (I'm not even sure I'd call it a good solid in of itself) but I would recommend JWTJ if you're looking for a enjoyable flick and a good videogame movie.
Sorry, but I'm not going to watch it when it comes out. No disrespect to your opinion by any means, but I am SICK of the Ghostbusters 2016 hatred (from the internet in general). Honestly, I felt it was okay. Not as good as the original, (and honestly it was probably for the best that it bombed) but I liked SOME things in it! But, if you hate it, that's fine. I'm not trying to stop you from making the video, I just feel that the complaints against the film will be the same ones I've heard from others. If they're not, then that's great! I just have no interest in hearing them, mainly because I've witnessed enough of the backlash already.
The first one was definitely better. Better story, better characters, character development, a great soundtrack and even some heartwarming moments. All the second film had going for it was action, explosions, and penis jokes. You know, the same typical crap from comedy films with no substance going for it.
I enjoyed Jumanji 2 more because I saw it as a reimagining more than a direct comparison to the original, considering that the game itself changed to lure in a completely different generation.
16:04 I love the music of Jumanji. And I also love James Horner’s composing work. Monkey mayhem is my absolute favorite track (even without Klaxon horns from the expanded edition). 😊
Could you imagine a scene where as part of the game, all the characters have to go through a giant wasp nest filled with the giant wasps from the first movie. They could have some terrifying scenes with them sneaking around but being utterly surrounded by enemies and monsters they know they can’t fight
I always said the original jumanji is the shit n after watching the new 1..... I was right. The one thing that bug me about the new 1 was they had 3 lives each. As for the original there was no retry that made everything that much more scary. Plus in the book that it's base off Allen take the bullet but luckily for him his elephant made it to the finish line n rest it self just like in the movie.
I agree with your verdict, only you rated the winner too low, and the loser too high. But that's just me. The only genuine benefit the new "jumanji" film presented was outselling the the DC movie and Disney's "star wars" disaster. One guy even said that he and his friends only went to see the Disney movie because "jumanji" was sold out. That was hilarious. Great vid, Eric.
Both are good movies, but feel like they have different genres. The first is a family film while the second is an action comedy, each movie’s pros and cons make sense with the genres they fall into.
My guess, regarding Jumanji's brutal treatment of Allen, is that the board game knew he would win. It was probably trying to get rid of him via the curses. That's all I can say.
Your such a underated channel, you need more subscribers =) Also when Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom releases, will you do a Jurassic World Vs Fallen Kingdom video?
Thanks buddy. I really appreciate it. :) I most certainly will compare the two Jurassic World movies. In regards to your question about my thoughts on the villain in Thor Ragnarok. I thought she was a good villain. Going by the trailer I was afraid that she would be hamming it up and acting WAY over the top. But thankfully she was good. She was threatening and cruel. She wasn't as good as Michael Keaton in Homecoming but she is a much bigger improvement over the other villains in the MCU. The BEST being Killmonger in Black Panther.
In the trailers Ultron looked AMAZING! But when the movie came out he started out intimidating but then he turned into a joke towards the last 30 minutes of the movie which pretty much destroyed his character for me. Marvel's overabundance of jokes ruined what could have been a truly awesome villain.
Though I get your point in that it is a big disconnect from the original in terms of tone and concept, the new film is still a good movie for what it is trying to do. I wouldn't call it a sequel as more of a soft reboot-ish type. I mean it's a comedy action film to its fullest. The first one is a whole other genre. It seems the biggest problem with the "sequel" is its association with the name "Jumanji".
I think the best term to describe the film is a standalone sequel. It's set within the same universe as the original film, but lacks the narrative connection that a conventional sequel normally has.
I was looking for a review like this just to see if I wasn't the only one that hated the different them of the second movie. I loved it through, however I hoped it would have provided us with a bigger thrill ride just like the first one did.
No problem buddy. I'm really glad your enjoying them. I haven't actually but it is a good idea. I definitely have a lot of stuff to say about them. Thanks so much for watching and commenting!
I’m glad you enjoyed the video. I wasn’t at all happy with the direction the licence has gone. It had such great potential and they threw it away. Thanks a lot for watching buddy!
I think the reboots should've been something completely different. From what I've heard it's pretty alright, but it's fatal flaw is calling itself "Jumanji". The original was a high-stakes nightmare that affected others as well as the players, while the remakes only affect the main characters from what I've seen. And it's not like whatever powers that be _wouldn't_ allow it to become something more eye-catching. Zathura is arguably just that in the original book. The boys open up the game, one of them doesn't like it, and a new one mysteriously appears in the box to appeal to him. They could've taken advantage of this! What if it was a new theme altogether like DnD or an old school RPG like Ultima? Either way, if the videogame really took after the spirit of the original board games (and Robin William's monologue), it should've been one of those where you only get one life and if you die it's game over. No tutorial level, or at least one you have to find a la Elden Ring; very vague hints and hard mode is *default* . It's a child's introduction to Skull Island for Pete's sake! Maybe throw in some real world consequences like the board game did too while you're at it!
Their are actually 4 films in the series including the one coming out later on this year. Their is what was labelled a cousin film. Wrote by the same guy, but different cast and director. I am of course talking about the 2005 film ZATHURA. In the film they never mentioned the connection, but in the book Zathura it was.
Friday the 13th three Mad max road warrior Dawn of the planet of the apes Captain America winter solider On this channel there are only a few but the ones I named are great sequels
One thing you could've mentioned about the original and the game, whenever a player roles. It also gave us the viewers something to ponder and guess with the clue given. Such which made it a little bit more entertaining. The sequel and sequel's sequel didn't have that, it just was a straightforward get to the next scene movie. I guess you can say there stats takes place of it, but honestly those gets shown once and by the time that trait comes into play its not much to think about. Jumanji original is the better movie, I watched it a few times in theaters.
I wasn't going to at first but I got quite a lot of requests to do it. I am also curious to see what I make of the two movies aswell. So in the future I will try make a versus video of the two. Thanks for the suggestion buddy and thanks for watching!
Finally! Someone likes the original jumanji. Believe it or not. Jumanji 2017 is just one of the worst movies I’ve ever watched, my sister said that I don’t have “taste” in movies. But. I hate jumanji 2017. Respect my opinion
Now I head you saying that humans being the enemies instead of animals doesn't connect to the first movie. But remember the scene at the begining where the game transformed for board game to a video game. Perhaps the game could have transformed on the inside as well.
it was sign of the times i guess with total tone change in the sequel in the MCU era, suspense and horror are a limited market nowadays. Its a different audience now. and the sequel movie even kind of showed it where the first kid getting the game didn't even played or curious enough to mess with it. Like the movie it had to change from board game to video game which its current audience understands. I guess that's why it made money....
I still think the original is the superior film, but you forgot one important thing. The game evolved. Along with its evolution, the jungle obviously went along with it. The video game version of Jumanji gave the jungle a story filled with people instead of being a normal jungle devoid of human life.
Of course the jungle would be scary for a kid! It makes sense that it isnt scary and dangerous for 5 player avatars but the jungle would be scary if you were in Alan's (kid) mind.
Which is better? Simple. It is impossible to top Robin Williams, and the concept was wonderfully intriguing. The sequel just recreated it for a modern audience, and decided to be its own thing. And as a movie that builds on the original, but does it’s own thing entirely, I quite liked it.
I think when the game changed from a board game to video game the jungle changed because it was on a dificulth setting as in easy, normal and hard mode because with the video game its like maybe go a little easy with the board game it starts off as your doomed from the start also theres a little less stakes as in jumanji one life is all so you have to survive jumanji welcome to the jungle three lives so you can learn from your mistakes
In my opinion if they wanted to make a jumanji movie it would've been better to re make the 1st one with modern animation etc especially 3D instead of whatever the new jumanji was. I never went to see it since by seeing the previews i knew it was nothing like the 1st and like he stated i would've never knew it was even linked to the original if they didnt use the name. A remake would've been f*ing awesome. Jumanji was scary af as a child so even though it probly wouldn't be as scary now that im grown im willing to bet it would've been awesome and wayyyy better than that bs they did make. I still hold out hope for a remake of the classic definitely in 3D. Hopefully one day itll happen 😥

What's a Alt
It's not a sequel
@@christianchappell4193 Didnt Know that but To Me Jumanji 1 is only Jumanji, To do with board games there is some thing sacred about it
Yes, it works better for an AU than a equel
The movie was decent and a little funny. But the jungle was so disappointing. This would have worked better as a horror movie. The jungle we hear about in the original is like a terrible frightening hellscape. Here it's just like a fun romp with no fear to it
Agreed.

Agreed
Glad someone didn't praise this movie and call it "one of the best movie's I've ever seen"
This is the best movies ive ever seen
I think it may have been if they had just remade the original with modern movie technology and in 3D. Just imagining the 1st but up to date and in 3D makes me hate whoever thought to make the "sequel" smh.
Greag
Yeah
Which one?
You should do Jurassic Park vs Jurassic World.
Robert Savageau YES
Or Jurassic World 1 vs Jurassic World 2 when the second movie comes out
It should be obvious that _Jurassic Park_ would win that battle, but too be fair _Jurassic World_ was still really good. Perhaps the second best film in the series.

I love the original Jumanji, it is definitely one of my childhood favorites
I honestly refer the original as it seems more intimidating, the sequel is more comedic whereas the original is shocking.
You are one of my favorite youtubers because you give your honest opinion even if people disagree.
That really does mean a lot buddy. Thanks so much!
Amazing gamer s
Me too
The first movie made the jungle of Jumanji seem so dark, scary and threatening, whereas the sequel... just feel normal. :(
@Hewy Toonmore Personally I really like the new Jumanji movies. I know theyre not for everyone and i know compared to the original theyre greatly inferior.

Man of steel vs Superman 1978
I completely agree with everything, Jumanji is supposed to be hell, it's supposed to be exaggerated. Jumanji is supposed to target its players fears, remember the game is evil. In the second movie, it just seems mindless.
Remember "What do you mean the game thinks?"
Like 1408 in a board game.
Daddy's home vs Daddy's home 2
Lol I haven't seen either of those movies.
the first Jumanji movie is the scariest movie ever
... You're joking right? Damn good movie but scariest?
@@q.h.s5051you’re right. It’s not the scariest movie ever but it is good
The hunter that comes out of the board game is played by the same actor who plays Alan's father. I just thought that was interesting
My parents told me that when I was a kid. It blew my mind as I didn't know it was even allowed for actors to play more than one role in a movie. Regardless, thanks for the info Lily!
I think that's kind of a Peter Pan thing. As in, the actor who usually plays Mr Darling also plays Captain Hook. This was how they had it in the original disney film, in the play and also in the 2003 remake.
U know, that's intriguing! Because I believed that the hunter was a representation of Allen's father.
Allan: Says Jumanji is the deepest darkest jungle and that he was alone and afraid.
Welcome to the jungle: Lives in a house near a market
I never watch the first Jumanji and by hearing the way you describe it makes the movie sounds amazing...might check it out
I think Jumanji is more of a cult classic film more than a classic film in of itself, but it doesn't mean that it's a bad movie. I don't love it as much as I used to; Jumanji Welcome to the Jungle is a movie that surprised me that it even got good reviews (I was expecting another Ghostbusters 2016 scenario) at all.

It wasn't my favorite movie of the year (I'm not even sure I'd call it a good solid in of itself) but I would recommend JWTJ if you're looking for a enjoyable flick and a good videogame movie.
I think the old Jumanji is way better than the new one
Yes I agree with you
Definitely
I enjoyed both but the original will always be the best
Yes it is
I think everyone did
Where's Ghostbusters vs Ghostbusters 2016?
I am going to get to work on that video this month. Thanks for being patient. :)
Gd fogster Like that’s even a question
Eric Carter you could make that video an hour long and I would still watch it
Gd fogster I think ghostbusters vs ghostbusters 2 is less obvious.

Welcome to the jungle is one of the most surprising hits in modern cinema and I loved it
Please don't refrain from making long videos, I could listen to you all day.
I fu***ng love the first Jumanji and the reasons it brings me incredible nostalgia is the element of horror and mystery and Robin Williams himself 👏
10:31 Ooh! I know! The volcano that did not make it into the movie from the book
The first one was definitely better. Better story, better characters, character development, a great soundtrack and even some heartwarming moments. All the second film had going for it was action, explosions, and penis jokes. You know, the same typical crap from comedy films with no substance going for it.
How is your fav charater in bully

I think the old Jumanji is better but I feel like, watching this video, you have a biased opinion because you grew up with the first movie
Loving the first movie doesn't mean being biased

Correct me if I’m wrong but when this movie was made it was a seperate thing to the original so it makes sense that they would make it lighter in tone

Good deduction skills there bruh
Lone Wander The director has said this is a sequel

I know it's a "sequel", but it's a soft reboot in a way. It's loosely connected.
I think the best term to describe the film is a standalone sequel. It's set within the same universe as the original film, but lacks the narrative connection that a conventional sequel normally has.
Actually the only reference to the original was the camp with the original name of the kid trapped in Jumanji carved in a log

Zepheria is still a better sequel to Jumanji.
Zathura...
I LOVED ZATHURA SPACE ADVENTURE
The Jumanji 90s cartoon is a better sequal to jumanji then the latest movie.

One thing you could've mentioned about the original and the game, whenever a player roles. It also gave us the viewers something to ponder and guess with the clue given. Such which made it a little bit more entertaining. The sequel and sequel's sequel didn't have that, it just was a straightforward get to the next scene movie. I guess you can say there stats takes place of it, but honestly those gets shown once and by the time that trait comes into play its not much to think about.
Jumanji original is the better movie, I watched it a few times in theaters.
great video Eric heres a next verses idea, Murder On The Orient Express 1974 vs 2017
I wasn't going to at first but I got quite a lot of requests to do it. I am also curious to see what I make of the two movies aswell. So in the future I will try make a versus video of the two. Thanks for the suggestion buddy and thanks for watching!
Eric Carter No problem and take your time.
Finally! Someone likes the original jumanji. Believe it or not. Jumanji 2017 is just one of the worst movies I’ve ever watched, my sister said that I don’t have “taste” in movies. But. I hate jumanji 2017. Respect my opinion
It is not my favorite. But I do enjoy it. 7/10
And I totally respect your opinion
Robin Williams the 1995 movie was more correct the exact story that Chris wrote.
I absolutely love the original movie, was never all that interested to see Welcome to the Jungle or the newest one
The original is the best because of the legend Robin Williams
Now I head you saying that humans being the enemies instead of animals doesn't connect to the first movie. But remember the scene at the begining where the game transformed for board game to a video game. Perhaps the game could have transformed on the inside as well.
eric carter you do now that the 1st jumanji is based on a board game
while the new jumanji is more of a video game type movie
it was sign of the times i guess with total tone change in the sequel in the MCU era, suspense and horror are a limited market nowadays. Its a different audience now. and the sequel movie even kind of showed it where the first kid getting the game didn't even played or curious enough to mess with it. Like the movie it had to change from board game to video game which its current audience understands. I guess that's why it made money....
I personally though the first one was horrible and the new was great

Jack Black was the Best part of Jumanji 2
You need to make a video where the Jumanji free versus Jumanji two versus Jumanji one

Jumanji welcome to the jungle works good as a comedy movie but not a Jumanji/horror movie
I still think the original is the superior film, but you forgot one important thing. The game evolved. Along with its evolution, the jungle obviously went along with it. The video game version of Jumanji gave the jungle a story filled with people instead of being a normal jungle devoid of human life.
Good point.
Of course the jungle would be scary for a kid! It makes sense that it isnt scary and dangerous for 5 player avatars but the jungle would be scary if you were in Alan's (kid) mind.
1969
sequel is garbage.
"zathura" is more of a sequel than the new jumanji. lol
Jumanji (2017) vs jumanji next level
I haven’t seen the new movie, but I sense that just the fact the original has Robin Williams makes it superior
Jumanji 1995 is my favorite movie ❤
12:59 the crocodile actually does make it into the movie. But he has only one scene.
Jumanji 1 is better but Jumanji 2 is pretty funny
Another great vid mate you should do DREDD comparison with the 1995 and the 2012 DREDD.
Thanks for the suggestion buddy. I will definitely consider doing it one day.
Remember when they return the juel you get a birds eye vue and the jungle looks like the boardgame
Damn how I miss those 90s movies. Now it's all about cgi..
Which is better? Simple. It is impossible to top Robin Williams, and the concept was wonderfully intriguing. The sequel just recreated it for a modern audience, and decided to be its own thing. And as a movie that builds on the original, but does it’s own thing entirely, I quite liked it.
He doesn't really stand up he just lets them beat him
The bad guy in jumanji 2 was apparently van pelt ( the hunter )
From the first movie
You should have said that the game changed itself into a game chip or something
I think when the game changed from a board game to video game the jungle changed because it was on a dificulth setting as in easy, normal and hard mode because with the video game its like maybe go a little easy with the board game it starts off as your doomed from the start also theres a little less stakes as in jumanji one life is all so you have to survive jumanji welcome to the jungle three lives so you can learn from your mistakes
I personally liked the sequel
However it would be Soo much cooler if the jungle was more creepy and eerie
No five you see a squirrel
I love the sequel sooo much but you know who would win
In my opinion if they wanted to make a jumanji movie it would've been better to re make the 1st one with modern animation etc especially 3D instead of whatever the new jumanji was. I never went to see it since by seeing the previews i knew it was nothing like the 1st and like he stated i would've never knew it was even linked to the original if they didnt use the name. A remake would've been f*ing awesome. Jumanji was scary af as a child so even though it probly wouldn't be as scary now that im grown im willing to bet it would've been awesome and wayyyy better than that bs they did make. I still hold out hope for a remake of the classic definitely in 3D. Hopefully one day itll happen 😥
