What!? Hold up Hold up! Jumanji with Robin Williams was actually good. That movie had some dark ass Moments. Like the Dad going bankrupt obsessing where his son was. That Girl going crazy because no one believes her. It also had good themes such as surviving and being a man, being a strong person through adversity. It was fucked up cause the game was teaching him this for 20yrs with him trapped in a hellish Jungle being hunted by the physical representation of his father. Yes Van Pelt was played by the actor that Plays the dad! So I think this movie should get a pass. It was fun a unique film.
The Rock and Kevin Hart are collecting so many checks in this past decade, they’ll be in anything lol. Glad this movie isn’t a flop though, gonna go see it
Remember the Jumanji cartoon that used to come on Nickelodeon in the 90s by Clasky Csupo where the Rhinos had sharp teeth for some reason, I always wondered if that be a better movie lol but we'll see this weekend haha
The girl Karen Gillan is Scottish. But in this movie she sounds completely American. It seems that it's easier for a person from Britain to do an American accent than it is for an American to do an English or Scotish accent.
A video game movie is a movie BASED off a video game. It is not a movie ABOUT video games. Basically turning the narrative and concept of a video game into a world that fits into the mold of a movie. Jumanji would not qualify as a "video game movie". Rather it falls into the realm of movies about video games, like Scott Pilgrim, Wreck-it-Ralph, Pixels, or Hardcore Henry.
Firstly, Wreck-It-Ralph had official video game characters in the movies along side some movie-only characters and secondly, Disney actually created a real life, fully working “Fix-It-Felix Jr.” arcade game way before the movie released as a way to promote it. So, to say the game that Ralph comes from isn’t real is actually quite incorrect. So technically, Wreck-It-Ralph IS a video game movie based on a real video game.
The first jumanji does hold up its the effects that don't. there is a real sad story for robin williams character allen who come home but his parents are now dead and he left when he had a fight with his father and david allen greer character was fired to protect allen at factory. korey probably only thinking only about effects. but it really does have heart.
I was in the theater tonight and there were a bunch of kids in the theater watching the movie and I can say these kids where cracking up! They where engaged with the characters and laughed and gasped on que. They loved this movie a lot, and that is what really counts for this film.
Jumanji was a very good character based movie with a familiar, yet well executed narrative. Robin Williams, and the kids made the movie. The special effects were the passengers, as Williams, Dunst, and even the limited role of Grier drove the vehicle. If they'd have miscast any of the major roles, the movie wouldn't have been as memorable. The whole, "rose colored lenses" of your child hood can be applied to nearly anything considered nostalgic, from the original Ghostbusters to the Godfather(love both movies, but I've heard similar arguments against them). You may or may not like a movie's story or premise, but here's something that never changes as far as the movies I like or dislike are concerned. Either the main characters fit and can carry the narrative or they can't. If you put the same actors into Zathura, he'd have a point, but he's dead wrong about Jumanji.
It sounds like this movie did quite well. I'm happy to hear it. It seems like pitching it more as a comedy and treating it with more thought and care worked out well. I wonder how Jumanji would have turned out if they remade it to be more of a horror movie. The original Jumanji definitely had some horror potential.
Allan D I never watched Jumanji, watched Zathura. Personally, I only like Zathura because its sci-fi space premise instead of a dangerous jungle. I remember a bit of the Jumanji cartoon tho.
Speedstar235 i watched them both and despite the space precise, wich was cool i just couldn't stand the main characters in Zathura, so, to me, it is bad.
Technically Zathura is a sequel to Jumanji. In the book they have the characters discover Jumanji, but it transforms into Zathura after they say a jungle game sounds boring.
Okay, I forgot the exact time code for where he said that but REALLY Korey?! Ever since the first trailer came out, you’ve been saying that the first Jumanji movie wasn’t that good... And you haven’t even freaking SEEN the dang movie yourself?! You shouldn’t even be saying such things if you haven’t even seen it yourself prior to seeing this one at all.
The whole "I've seem this already, they just doing the same thing" complaint is getting old especially for movies made for kids. Because there are kids in the world that haven't seen that formula/troupe done over and over again.
So, the death scenes were like in the 'Lara Croft: Tomb Raider" reboot game, where you are trying to guide her parachute through the tree tops..... only to see her gruesomely impaled by a tree branch if you fail!!! 0_0
You're wrong on this one Kory.The original 'Jumanji" was pretty entertaining & so was the Nicktoon based on it. Also at this point the Rock & Kevin Hart are overexposed to the max. I know the next one's coming because this made a boatload of money. I thought it was loaded with old jokes and characters we've seen in a ton of movies The original was just that since it expanded on the children's book. Robin Williams & Bonnie Hunt were great. So were Kirsten Dunst ant the young actor who played her brother.David Alan Grier stole the scene with the cop car & monkeys! (lol) Note: take time to watch a film if you're going to discuss it to this extent. Anyone kinda shocked by how many well known youtube movie critics haven't seen some of the most beloved film or tv shows? For example, when 'The Last Airbender ' came out none of the critics I follow here had ever watched the animated series during its run or on DVD/Blu-ray. Wow!
Yeah, but the original Jumanji is based on board game rules; the new one is based on video game rules. It makes sense, so I can accept the change, especially since they're marketing it as more of a comedy.
MsSphinx91 I have no problem with this movie. It just should have been its own movie. A role playing game movie named RPG. Simple title and original story.
Korey C says the original Jumanji wasn't good, but he hasn't even seen it? I get that it's different from the book, but most of the kids watching it didn't even know about the book. I think the story of Robin Williams's character was pretty good actually: he gets bullied a lot and has a judgmental father; he wishes that he could have a different family and ends up getting sucked into this board game; when he finally returns, everyone from his past is gone and he realizes how much he loved his father and how much his father loved him. It's really a story about children and their relationship with their parents and the effects of losing one's family. Even the "modern-day" kids in the movie lose their parents and deal with it in their own ways. Even as a kid, I vaguely interpreted the game as a device that helps people grow up and move on. You face your fears and life's harsh realities, and you cherish the people who are important to you and don't take them for granted.
I actually liked the cliché of ''we are these different cliques in high school'' because it serves the story once they are in the game and even before they get in, you get to know them a little bit, learn about SPOILERS JUST IN CASE YOU CONSIDER THIS A SPOILER the past relationship that Spencer and Fridge had. Then of course SPOILERS AGAIN IF YOU CONSIDER THIS AS SUCH how they all have to teamup together. I really liked that aspect, despite acknowledging it's a cliché. Also, sorry about the whole ''spoilers'' thing. I'm just one of those people that likes not knowing anything about movie except sometimes where I have to know the general plot, so I did that just in case if people think like me.
Really Korey? Using the old "you were five'" excuse? Yeah, because it's not like anyone else could've *possibly* liked Jumanji still after that. I actually know a few people who like the movie, it's not that rare. *People are allowed to like Jumanji, Korey*, but way to feed your ego.
The villain I think was purposefully made to be so generic and forgettable. Also, here's one plot hole and it's a spoiler: so they did that cutscene part at the beginning of the game, which was so funny and good call, but the scenes where the villain is talking to his goons WITHOUT the main characters, makes no sense. Are you telling me the game programmed itself for them to talk alone? Why? It really makes no sense. Would have been cool if they kept doing that cutscene trope during those scenes because it would have actually made them worthwile with the main character's commentary.
@DoubleToasted It is a sequel to the original beloved classic it continue 25 years later...... The director and the cast said that they want to continue the story and pay homage to Robin Williams!!!!
Did he say Jumanji wasn't that good? The Original? that movie is phuckin awesome. I hadn't seen it in ten years roughly and it came on tv a few months ago, AWESOME!!
Wait wait, did the dude just say that he hasn't watched the original Jumanji because he was too young by the time of its release...? What about watching a damn movie a few years LATER ? I know, it's a movie for kids, first and foremost, but it's not like grown ups don't go watch classics like The Goonies when they're re-released...
I know I'm a couple years late for this. Buy Koreys wrong about the 1st movie not being good. The 1st film had a lot of depth to it and was very well acted. I swear Korey is just full of himself most of if not all the time
Man, I forgot how great this show was before Girts got on. He’s alright, but he doesn’t really mix well with Korey, Korey, and Martin’s flow. I miss Tommy!!
issac flores Who was in Zathura? Tim Robbins and the Twilight girl, who's been playing the same one dimensional role since she was 12. Zathura was bad.
Tbh, Sony is doing the same exact thing with rebooting great films from the past. It’s kind of starting to get annoying and uncreative in my opinion. They did this with Ghostbusters 2016 and Flatliners 2017. Smh.
kaneiah williams just now coming from seeing this film and yes it’s done better. And with a different style whereas the first movie brought in the adventure, thriller film. And this one comes off as a adventure, comedy satire.
@clariola : If you get sucked into the game, you come back after the game is over (if there are people still left to play it). But if you die in the game, it's not clear that you come back to life. Technically, everything goes back to the way it was when you started the game, but, since none of the characters actually died playing the game, I'm not sure if that means players get revived. The thing is though, if everyone dies, or gets scared off, no one is left to finish the game.
So here's a silly story about me and the original Jumanji: when I was 4 or 5, the first house we ever lived in was this AWESOME, creepy, decrepit, and huge victorian-style house, very similar to the one in the movie. My earliest memories are helping my mom gut this thing with a sledgehammer and strip that giant staircase for like, 2-3 years. There were a hundred places to hide and explore, was possibly haunted, and when we were finished, it looked amazing. On Xmas, we got an entertainment system with surround sound. The first movie ever to start our "Movie Night"/"Cinema Saturday" tradition was Jumanji. Being a huge lover of animals too, this movie was everything I ever hoped my adventures would be in that house. It was creepy, it was sometimes legitimately _scary,_ and overall just really FUN. (And the idea of having a giant, pet lion in your bedroom? Kitty! :D) AND, it got the best and funniest reaction I've ever seen from my mom in the history of ever: the moment the house that the Aunt worked so hard on just splits in two. My mom, who was quietly wincing every time the house took damage, finally _cringed_ and just let out this deeply-pained, soul-stabbed "...Aww..." To this day, it still makes me giggle.
I found the movie to be painfully average. The jokes beyond the deaths have been over played. THe actors were decent while the plots around them (save the blonde and jack black) were abit bland.One of the biggest problem is that the film is barely does anything with source material beyond VIDEO GAME TROPES.Which is disapointing when the original had interesting moments .even the villian was more interesting in the original
The fact it was a fun movie without too much forced laughs and the villain was just a board game villain so you could focus more of the team than the threat was kinda nice...
Steven Diaz Rock is there yet...not quite but once I watched the trailer for Rampage and thought it was San Andreas 2...I realized he's getting closer and closer.
I know this is random but what's the review where korey does his aquaman impression? i watched the reviews for justice league and aquaman and he doesn't do it in them
Well, I just said this. Has the writers heard about Planescape Torment or Fallout New Vegas? The very pinnacle of games that don't need 3 lives and actually immersive. Just hand the script to Obsidian studios (what's left of Black Isles and Interplay) and voila! Horrors? Check. skill check? check. various paths? Check. Sucked into the world? Well, plenty of kidnapped and trapped plots, so check.
How have Korey and Martin not seen Jumanji? Even if they didn't like it, just surprised they haven't seen it. Regardless I couldn't fathom that this is good. Thought for sure it was going to be a sad cash grab of our nostalgia. By the way, the best video game movie is Wreck It Ralph.
I did not expect to like this Jumanji as much as I did! It was pretty entertaining and had a good modern twist. Tbh, I prefer this one to the original! Had a lot of fun with this one, more than I expected. I'd give it a high matinee, since not all the jokes landed, and it did go on a bit too long towards the end.
MRGooodwineTV bruh I'm waiting days like so uhhh 🙃 .... that's y'all whole thing .... u just not going to discuss this as much marvel checks y'all be getting 😂😂
Rex Mckinnis I recall them mentioning it in the Infinity War trailer video, it isn't big enough of a thing right or finalized for them to go and talk about it again
I just watched this. It’s a fun movie and I’m surprised of the Christmas vibes on the end of the movie. It’s not movie of the year contender but it is the surprises of the year.
To be considered a video game movie, the original source material has to be the game. If that's not the case, then I consider The Last Starfighter the best video game movie. Otherwise I have to go with Mortal Kombat.
the villain van pelt was vain and weak and bad in a brilliant way actually his character is supposed to be bad because he is noticeably only a part of the game programming hence I think this bad-ness is well done anyway
To Release is To Resolve I think what Brandon means is that like Shazaam. He is playing a kid in a Grown Man's body in this film. So in a way he is kind of like Shazaam.
I was promised a BAD MOVIE SEQUEL....
....Instead I get an actually DECENT, and FUN FILM?
*Throws Pitchfork angrly to the ground*
HRMPH.
not to mention that is distributed by Sony
What!? Hold up Hold up! Jumanji with Robin Williams was actually good. That movie had some dark ass Moments. Like the Dad going bankrupt obsessing where his son was.

Yes Van Pelt was played by the actor that Plays the dad! So I think this movie should get a pass. It was fun a unique film.
Hell yeah man. I just watch this. It ain't bad but it can't touch the original.
The Rock and Kevin Hart are collecting so many checks in this past decade, they’ll be in anything lol. Glad this movie isn’t a flop though, gonna go see it

The girl Karen Gillan is Scottish. But in this movie she sounds completely American.
It seems that it's easier for a person from Britain to do an American accent than it is for an American to do an English or Scotish accent.

It's interesting that, Pixels aside, those VG-themed movies have been consistently better movies than those based off actual franchises.

I was in the theater tonight and there were a bunch of kids in the theater watching the movie and I can say these kids where cracking up! They where engaged with the characters and laughed and gasped on que. They loved this movie a lot, and that is what really counts for this film.
Jstank X Plays My 9 year old was cracking up. He loved the video game aspect of it.
I enjoyed it a lot cuz I was laughing my ass off.
It can be enjoyed by adults too. That is the magic formula.
Jumanji was a very good character based movie with a familiar, yet well executed narrative. Robin Williams, and the kids made the movie.

I wonder how Jumanji would have turned out if they remade it to be more of a horror movie. The original Jumanji definitely had some horror potential.
If I was in charge I would've made it scary. A bit like the animated cartoon was
They already remade Jumanji it was called Zathura! So I'm not mad at this rebboot
Allan D I never watched Jumanji, watched Zathura. Personally, I only like Zathura because its sci-fi space premise instead of a dangerous jungle. I remember a bit of the Jumanji cartoon tho.
Well this is a sequel to the original
Allan D Just call it R.P.G.
Speedstar235 i watched them both and despite the space precise, wich was cool i just couldn't stand the main characters in Zathura, so, to me, it is bad.
Technically Zathura is a sequel to Jumanji. In the book they have the characters discover Jumanji, but it transforms into Zathura after they say a jungle game sounds boring.
I just died when Korey said "but h... MOVE ON!!" That was funny as hell
Okay, I forgot the exact time code for where he said that but REALLY Korey?! Ever since the first trailer came out, you’ve been saying that the first Jumanji movie wasn’t that good... And you haven’t even freaking SEEN the dang movie yourself?! You shouldn’t even be saying such things if you haven’t even seen it yourself prior to seeing this one at all.
Jack Black had me dying this movie was fun
I miss that Gamefly ad Koery used to do
Lavar Ball time to dig out the gamecube
Lavar Ball to YOU
Bobby Cannavale was just trying to get some extra bread for Christmas lol He killed it in Mr. Robot this year.
The whole "I've seem this already, they just doing the same thing" complaint is getting old especially for movies made for kids. Because there are kids in the world that haven't seen that formula/troupe done over and over again.
KingKien95 Exactly. And parents aren't doing them any favors showing just the classics.
Again Zathura is ignored.
Raymond Reviews Not fair
Zathura was bad.
Because it’s a forgettable movie.
Rightfully so
As it should be.
So, the death scenes were like in the 'Lara Croft: Tomb Raider" reboot game, where you are trying to guide her parachute through the tree tops..... only to see her gruesomely impaled by a tree branch if you fail!!! 0_0
So much disrespect for David Allen Grier career . Yall need to look him up.
You're wrong on this one Kory.The original 'Jumanji" was pretty entertaining & so was the Nicktoon based on it. Also at this point the Rock & Kevin Hart are overexposed to the max. I know the next one's coming because this made a boatload of money. I thought it was loaded with old jokes and characters we've seen in a ton of movies The original was just that since it expanded on the children's book. Robin Williams & Bonnie Hunt were great. So were Kirsten Dunst ant the young actor who played her brother.David Alan Grier stole the scene with the cop car & monkeys! (lol) Note: take time to watch a film if you're going to discuss it to this extent. Anyone kinda shocked by how many well known youtube movie critics haven't seen some of the most beloved film or tv shows? For example, when 'The Last Airbender ' came out none of the critics I follow here had ever watched the animated series during its run or on DVD/Blu-ray. Wow!
The original Jumanji if you died in the game you don't comeback. That is what made the game feel dangerous.
Yeah, but the original Jumanji is based on board game rules; the new one is based on video game rules. It makes sense, so I can accept the change, especially since they're marketing it as more of a comedy.
MsSphinx91 I have no problem with this movie. It just should have been its own movie. A role playing game movie named RPG. Simple title and original story.

Well they were proven wrong with this movie. I hope more bad looking movies turn out good
manta Rings I hope so, I loved the rampage game on the 64 and if I remember the game had a story that was shown by the news. No one really cared tho
manta Rings the monsters we know will probably just be huge versions of animals, but the rock may turn into a monster as a reference and big finisher
Rampage has no chance no chance of being good ill eat my,shoe if its even good l ok
Yep
why didn't Korey say they brought the jungle TO YOUR HOUSE, TO YOU!
Faizal Ali I think we're the only ones that still think about that here on YT haha
Really Korey? Using the old "you were five'" excuse? Yeah, because it's not like anyone else could've *possibly* liked Jumanji still after that. I actually know a few people who like the movie, it's not that rare. *People are allowed to like Jumanji, Korey*, but way to feed your ego.

@DoubleToasted It is a sequel to the original beloved classic it continue 25 years later...... The director and the cast said that they want to continue the story and pay homage to Robin Williams!!!!
Nick Jonas was on broadway before his boy band and Disney days. I was pleasantly surprised with this movie.
Did he say Jumanji wasn't that good? The Original? that movie is phuckin awesome. I hadn't seen it in ten years roughly and it came on tv a few months ago, AWESOME!!
Jumanji the first one is a great movie, just watched it again the other day
Wait wait, did the dude just say that he hasn't watched the original Jumanji because he was too young by the time of its release...? What about watching a damn movie a few years LATER ? I know, it's a movie for kids, first and foremost, but it's not like grown ups don't go watch classics like The Goonies when they're re-released...
SCharlesDennicon and it wasn’t good. So there’s the missing element.
Emerson Herndon but most of them didn’t watch the movie so how would they know it was bad?
JinxMinx most of them? Coleman is the only one who didn’t see it
No, he's about fifty so he didn't say it were because he was too young, it's probably rather the opposite...
If he doesn't want to watch it when he has grown up, then it is his choice. You don't need to watch the first movie to like this new Jumanji movie
Korey : "I've never watched Jumanji" ..."It wasn't a good movie" ?
To make a sequel to a robin Williams film without Robin takes balls -
Robin would have loved it.
Nick has acted before. Granted, it's just Disney Channel stuff but he IS an actor. I thought he was really good
I know I'm a couple years late for this. Buy Koreys wrong about the 1st movie not being good. The 1st film had a lot of depth to it and was very well acted. I swear Korey is just full of himself most of if not all the time
Not knowing who Amy Pond is :(
RIP Amy and Rory.
Daniel Dunlap
They died happily together. Amelia Pond is a great name.
The biggest plot hole of all time though, why couldn’t the doctor just land elsewhere and jump on a Train to New York for a visit?
Wreck-it-Ralph is still the best video game movie, and yes the movie comes from an actual arcade game called Fix-it-Felix Jr. from 1982
No it's not counted as a vidoegame movie
Man, I forgot how great this show was before Girts got on. He’s alright, but he doesn’t really mix well with Korey, Korey, and Martin’s flow. I miss Tommy!!
Let's be real everyone, 'Zathura' was a much better film than 'Jumanji', but hey I just don't think that, the critics think that too!
issac flores
Who was in Zathura? Tim Robbins and the Twilight girl, who's been playing the same one dimensional role since she was 12. Zathura was bad.
Shadysif no it wasn't. Zathura was good! You're bad!
The minute Twilight Girl was frozen, the movie vastly improved.
I didn't see Zathura because I was too old for it at the time, but I also don't care about critics ratings
Tbh, Sony is doing the same exact thing with rebooting great films from the past. It’s kind of starting to get annoying and uncreative in my opinion. They did this with Ghostbusters 2016 and Flatliners 2017. Smh.
But unlike those, this was actually good and better
kaneiah williams just now coming from seeing this film and yes it’s done better. And with a different style whereas the first movie brought in the adventure, thriller film. And this one comes off as a adventure, comedy satire.
Jumanji: If you die in the game you die in real life!
The Infamous Kid well you can come back once the game is complete. Very scary concept.
@clariola : If you get sucked into the game, you come back after the game is over (if there are people still left to play it). But if you die in the game, it's not clear that you come back to life. Technically, everything goes back to the way it was when you started the game, but, since none of the characters actually died playing the game, I'm not sure if that means players get revived. The thing is though, if everyone dies, or gets scared off, no one is left to finish the game.
also PlayStation did have a Scott Pilgrim video game as well back in 2011
Emm... Im pretty sure it only counts if is videogame first not second.
Dude, the original Jumanji was a good movie.
Jumanji was a good movie. Corey you haven't even seen the damn thing! lol You can't say shit!
it is a good movie and very dark for a kid movie
Racheal Jackson says you
Racheal Jackson again says you and to you
You know what...you are right. I just needed you and someone else who has never seen the movie to tell me so. #fuckouttahere
LOL internet thug
So here's a silly story about me and the original Jumanji: when I was 4 or 5, the first house we ever lived in was this AWESOME, creepy, decrepit, and huge victorian-style house, very similar to the one in the movie. My earliest memories are helping my mom gut this thing with a sledgehammer and strip that giant staircase for like, 2-3 years. There were a hundred places to hide and explore, was possibly haunted, and when we were finished, it looked amazing. On Xmas, we got an entertainment system with surround sound.

Being a huge lover of animals too, this movie was everything I ever hoped my adventures would be in that house. It was creepy, it was sometimes legitimately _scary,_ and overall just really FUN. (And the idea of having a giant, pet lion in your bedroom? Kitty! :D)
AND, it got the best and funniest reaction I've ever seen from my mom in the history of ever: the moment the house that the Aunt worked so hard on just splits in two. My mom, who was quietly wincing every time the house took damage, finally _cringed_ and just let out this deeply-pained, soul-stabbed "...Aww..."
To this day, it still makes me giggle.
The trailer was hilarious. I'm so glad it was good. I laughed quite a bit.
I glad it's good so looking forward to seeing it with my nephews who love the first Jumanji film.
Damn, it's sad when you wish you saw this instead of Star Wars.
similaritiesendhere Saw both and I would pick this to go see again.
I found the movie to be painfully average. The jokes beyond the deaths have been over played. THe actors were decent while the plots around them (save the blonde and jack black) were abit bland.One of the biggest problem is that the film is barely does anything with source material beyond VIDEO GAME TROPES.Which is disapointing when the original had interesting moments .even the villian was more interesting in the original
Scott Pilgrim had a video game too. Right before it was release on dvd, a game was released
The fact it was a fun movie without too much forced laughs and the villain was just a board game villain so you could focus more of the team than the threat was kinda nice...
I love Kevin but I'm burnt dafuq out on him.
Mr. Spiteful420 Kev has overstayed his welcome with these countless roles.
That's how I feel about the rock.
Mr. Spiteful420 the rock too
Lol the rock is worse
Steven Diaz Rock is there yet...not quite but once I watched the trailer for Rampage and thought it was San Andreas 2...I realized he's getting closer and closer.
I know this is random but what's the review where korey does his aquaman impression? i watched the reviews for justice league and aquaman and he doesn't do it in them
On Jumanji, game plays with you.
Well, I just said this.
Has the writers heard about Planescape Torment or Fallout New Vegas? The very pinnacle of games that don't need 3 lives and actually immersive.
Just hand the script to Obsidian studios (what's left of Black Isles and Interplay) and voila! Horrors? Check. skill check? check. various paths? Check. Sucked into the world? Well, plenty of kidnapped and trapped plots, so check.
15:10 Why does Jack Black's character scream "Oh my God" as he's being chewed on by the hippo?
Wouldn't you?
How have Korey and Martin not seen Jumanji? Even if they didn't like it, just surprised they haven't seen it. Regardless I couldn't fathom that this is good. Thought for sure it was going to be a sad cash grab of our nostalgia.
By the way, the best video game movie is Wreck It Ralph.
They have seen Jumanji. They were just joking.
I did not expect to like this Jumanji as much as I did! It was pretty entertaining and had a good modern twist. Tbh, I prefer this one to the original! Had a lot of fun with this one, more than I expected.
I'd give it a high matinee, since not all the jokes landed, and it did go on a bit too long towards the end.
I am looking forward to you guys reviewing the greatest showman
youtube just auto made this video 360p instead of the usual 720. is this post-net neutrality? :C
Bavestone:Dont worry, we'll make it out of this game alive*SMOLDERING INTENSITY*
Everyone: O-o.....
Bravestone:......what?
Me: LOL!!!
I told you before. Johnson, Black, Hart, and Gillan form a great comedic quartet. I'd love to see them in something else.
Kirk Darling a new age fantastic 4??lol
I gotta see this now.
So y'all just not going to talk about Disney buying Fox? I've been waiting for that yet y'all talking bout this trash 😂 I'm salty
Rex Mckinnis bruh 😂😂 lol
MRGooodwineTV bruh I'm waiting days like so uhhh 🙃 .... that's y'all whole thing .... u just not going to discuss this as much marvel checks y'all be getting 😂😂
They already did you are so late
Hunter Zolomon which video
Rex Mckinnis I recall them mentioning it in the Infinity War trailer video, it isn't big enough of a thing right or finalized for them to go and talk about it again
I just watched this. It’s a fun movie and I’m surprised of the Christmas vibes on the end of the movie. It’s not movie of the year contender but it is the surprises of the year.
Korey, I would definitely recommend "Goat" to get a better idea of how good of an actor Nick Jonas can be.
I think the cartridge was based off of the original Famicom.
No this doesn't count as a video game movie
To be considered a video game movie, the original source material has to be the game. If that's not the case, then I consider The Last Starfighter the best video game movie. Otherwise I have to go with Mortal Kombat.
I was surprised of how fun this movie was. It didn't annoy me or anger me.
I would lean towards no on this counting as a video game movie but it is damn close and could go anyway
I watched this review the day it came out, and just today I actually went and saw the movie, and I want to give it an 8.5/10
So you telling me that this movie that everyone thought was going to suck turned out to be good. i'm surprised.
Dwayne Johnson's character Is like Mario, The all round type character
Great review. Glad to hear the movie isn't bad. I kind of want to see it now
4:30 lol that girl
Double toasted got the best movie reviews ever
Where is zathura reboot
no korey.... that is not a video game movie... just stop it...
OK....you sold me on this.
Damn nigga, you need someone else to pick your moves for you? Is independent thought so hard?
the villain van pelt was vain and weak and bad in a brilliant way
actually his character is supposed to be bad because he is noticeably
only a part of the game programming hence I think this bad-ness is well done anyway
Jumanji wins, you're right, it was a video game before this movie.
I don't find Kevin Hart that funny, at all
Stuart Keating i dont know how people do
More movies should have Kevin Hart exploding
Wow your cool .... Wow
Ehhh he’s funny sometimes when he’s writing his own stuff.
I think he's funnier in movies than he is onstage
Wow, that Uncharted 2 comparison... :)
Sounds like the rock is playing Shazam! Captain marvel!
To Release is To Resolve I think what Brandon means is that like Shazaam. He is playing a kid in a Grown Man's body in this film. So in a way he is kind of like Shazaam.
yup, seen the movie last week and u can see the teenager in the rock for most of the movie
So, we gonna get an 'I, Tonya' review or naw?
I loved this movie. It was really enjoyable and they were very loyal to the video game logic.
I thought the villain was very gross, a little intimidating and kind of cool.
500 million so far. Jumanji 2 will reach 700 million
Man you give this a full price but TLJ a matinee?
"Cinema, matinee, I ain't got 7.50 to pay."
TLJ was trash
Solo Lay Everbody now now
Glad to hear it's good. Nota big fan of the original so it's neat to see a sequel that is superior.
tashaem1 than you'll love Zathura!
the original Jumanji did not suck
I didn't love this movie as a kid, I was terrified!
They showed all the funniest parts in the trailers Rental for me
