It’s never easy to try and inject new life into an already popular, well-established property, especially when that property also happens to be Jumanji. Many fans then have been looking towards Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle -- this year’s long-gap followup to the beloved, Robin Williams-led 1995 film adaptation of Chris Van Allsburg's children's book -- with skeptical eyes. Fortunately, Welcome to the Jungle manages to (mostly) maintain the quirky humor and fun of the previous film, while reintroducing the property to a whole new generation.
Set in the modern day, the film opens with an unexpectedly fun twist, as the dangerous Jumanji board game transforms into a video game, so that the more tech-reliant children and adults of today may be more easily sucked into its world. A strategy that proves to be successful for the game when a group of unfortunate students all get sucked into the game one day while serving detention together. They take on the physical forms of the avatars they had each selected from Jumanji’s opening menu.
