‘Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle’
Quite unexpectedly, the star-studded Jumanji reboot turned out to be great, fun, clever, and maybe even a little intelligent. Certainly more than it had to be. This time, instead of the board game coming to life, four teens are sucked into an old video-game of Jumanji and placed into the avatars of Dwayne Johnson, Kevin Hart, Jack Black, and Karen Gillan. All four leads are having a ball, being awkward with their own bodies and playing against type. There’s some great moments between mismatched pair The Rock and Kevin Hart, Jack Black stays on the right side of his persona, and Karen Gillan gets some great dance-fighting in. Well worth a look!
