All in all, I love this movie, even with its very minor problems, it is non-stop fast paced family entertainment. Now, more than twenty years later, I've finally got around to watching it and I have to say that I'm less than impressed.
This is one of the movies that helped usher in the 'CGI adventure' template of the family-friendly Hollywood blockbuster. A couple of kids find a magic boardgame and play it, with the end result that they release a bunch of CGI jungle creatures which rampage around their house. The film has a slick look to it and it doesn't help that the CGI has dated badly over the years, with the monkeys looking particularly bad.
The story itself is extremely limited and features some cheesy sentimentalising. There are some funny moments courtesy of Robin Williams, who just about holds things together with his usual brand of madcap high-energy overacting, but this is passable at best. In , two boys bury a mysterious dangerous wooden chest. He finds the box in a local construction site. He opens the chest to find a board game Jumanji.
His father is sending him to boarding school. He is about to run away when his best friend Sarah Whittle comes by. They play the game and Alan is pulled into the board game. Twenty six years later, Nora Shepherd Bebe Neuwirth buys the rundown mansion planning to open a bed-and-breakfast. The kids find the board game in the attic and start playing it.
Alan Robin Williams is released. They track down Sarah Bonnie Hunt to finish the game and bring all the released apparitions to an end. The basic idea of a board game that comes alive is one with great possibilities.
I wish that it is more than just a series of crazy CGI destruction. I wish that the players needed to use their brain power to solve clues. The constant escaping from one thing to the next gets a little bit repetitive. They start piling on top of one another. Williams is not quite as lovable as expected. Bonnie Hunt and David Alan Grier are kind of fun. There is an uncontrolled quality to this children's movie.

Synopsis Jumanji, one of the most unique--and dangerous--board games ever, falls into the hands of the curious teen, Alan Parrish, in Joe Johnston. Play - Download. This time, instead of entering a board game, the players enter a video game.
Expect some swearing mostly 's--t' and 'ass' , as well as action violence -- the main characters each die multiple times within the game but they're regenerated quickly -- and a couple of jump scares. Characters kiss and flirt awkwardly, and there are several references to dating, experience, and the humor of having a penis one of the female teens is in a male avatar for most of the movie.
That said, The Rock's character's body is also objectified. Still, there are positive themes here related to teamwork, empathy, selflessness, and communication, making this an easy pick for families who enjoy action adventures -- especially if they saw the original movie or read the Chris Van Allsburg book on which both films are based.
