Review Film
If you used to watch Jumanji in the 1995 version at a very, very, very young age, just like me, it is more likely that the memory of him is closer to the "childhood nightmare" than "family fun." Well, although the main characters are played by adults, Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle is surprisingly more hospitable for the family, but overall it is a fun family spectacle. Very light, pretty funny, and pretty exciting.
Jumanji, the new version is no longer a board game, but a video game. After the craze with Robin Williams, Jumanji, seems to realize that the game board that traps the children in it is so ancient that it turns into a video game that, of course, traps the children inside. HAHA !, maybe because now there is no longer playing the game board, even ludo and snake ladder was played on a smartphone or tablet. I've guessed that "Jumanji" in the sequel Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle will use an application-based gaming form.
This film is somewhat intelligent for similar films. Jumanji: just take the basic premise then even relax with all the rules of the game and have fun with it. There are some good jokes involving game programs, such as limited interaction with extra characters, each character that has strange strengths and weaknesses, or about the exposition of a forced game.
Attitudes like this allow the film to be able to casually ignore the logic plot. Something can suddenly appear, whenever a movie needs it. But on the other hand, it also gives us some exciting surprises. Anyway, who is also thinking about plot logic in this kind of movie? The basic rule is, every player has three lives depicted with a 3-
line tattoo on their arm, and to get out of the game, they have to win.
Those trapped are the Spencer (Alex Wolff), the Fridge (Ser'Darius Blain) school athlete, the shy girl Martha (Morgan Turner), and the slang girl who existed Bethany (Madison Iseman). Initially they were punished at school and told to clean the warehouse, but instead found a video game console. The console is plugged in, the game starts, the characters are selected, and they all of a sudden are already in the middle of a tropical forest The surprise is they are in the gaming world is no longer them in the real world. I mean, Spencer is now the head of the expedition of Dr Smolder Bravestone (Dwayne Johnson), Fridge is an expert on animals Moose Finbar (Kevin Hart), Martha is a tough adventurer Ruby Roundhouse (Karen Gillan), and Bethany is a distinguished middle-aged professor Shelly Oberon (Jack Black). Of course, Bethany hysterically sees her face that looks like Jack Black.
The casting is ingenious, a bit of a joke is aided by the image of the players in real life. An exclamation to see Johnson who was fascinated with his own biceps (though in my opinion, in real life, that he did every morning while mirrored after bathing). Hart is, of course, self-conscious with her height. Gillan is funny as an awkward look as a girl dressed too sexily for an adventure in the jungle. But the most entertaining thing is watching Jack Black glance, biting his lips, grumbling, and flicking his hair like a young girl.
RATING (7/10)
