Review
What an amazing movie this was! A great cast, a brilliant script and acting that didn’t beat around the bush, but straight to the point. Storyline is what it’s been since first time of leaving game board so why change it? Love story wasn’t pushed hard in scenes either not romantic moments between characters , only mentioned casually just like we got more important parts on boards than their love story.
Astonishing special effects where done correctly with realistic looking t-rex mutants , invisible plane and an amazing trip through time!
At times this film felt like it was heading nowhere but I couldn’t be happier as no where in the duration did Jumanji ever lose my interest, monsters taken care of without unnecessary shooting or screaming.
Hooray for highschoolers suddenly becoming world leaders and against cruel parents having to follow. There were a lot of reasons why teenagers should have felt empowered after watching this film and it’s for a reason that is important to be mentioned here! The fact, as teenagers never feels too old because we’re not expected to mature all at once. We say who we want , when we want and how our generation should act .
Overall : This 96 minutes of entertainment from 1995 would go down in history as one of the best I’ve ever seen if you get the movie today on Netflix.
Blog Conclusion: Jumanji is a classic movie that has been remade many times. I have seen all the remakes, but this one was awesome! The best part of the movie was when they were playing with the board game and it came alive!
