Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle was a movie that honestly had no
desire to see. Not because I heard bad things about it and
whatnot, it just seemed like a movie that I wouldn't really get
much out of. And then there was the fact that Kevin Hart was in
it. It's not that I don't like him, it's just that pretty much
every movie I have seen him in has been a disappointment. One
thing I didn't know about JWTTJ is whether this was a remake,
reboot or sequel to Robin Williams' Jumanji and having just
watched the flick and barely remembering the first movie, I
still don't know where this installment fits in. But you really
don't need to know this at all to enjoy the movie, which I
absolutely did. The core cast of Dwayne Johnson, Jack Black,
Kevin Hart, Karen Gillan and Nick Jonas made this flick hum
along. And yes, even Kevin Hart was funny.
It's easy to label this as a modern day version of the Raiders
of the Lost Ark formula. But it's got something else going on,
something that I think makes me really like the movie a whole
lot more and that's the fact that it takes a big chunk from of
all things....The Breakfast Club. Yeah, you are probably
thinking I'm full of sh*t. But it does owe a lot to TBC. You
have a group of misfits that want nothing to do with each other
being forces into detention and then through the course of the
movie embracing who they are and bonding with the same people
that have no desire to be associated with and ultimately
changing for the better because of it. TBC. It has other
influences like Big with regards to Body-Swapping as well. But
yeah, at it's heart, Jumanji bleeds TBC. Cool story, fun
adventure and the Epilogue is exactly what I wanted to see once
they revert back to their kid selves. Definitely worth checking
out.

It's a soft reboot/sequel. Tim Matheson finds the old game from
the end of the first movie, and it reconfigures itself into a
video game. The weird house they all stay in in the game was
built by Robin Williams' character (the "Allan Parrish was here"
graffiti), and when we see th elayout of the island, it matches
the layout of the board game.
