Plot :

When four teenagers in custody discover an old video game console, they get curious to know how the game works. They discovered that this game was not just any ordinary of those game boards, instead, it uses you as the pawns in the game. They'll have to go on the most dangerous adventure of their lives, or they'll be stuck in the game forever.

Analysis :

The idea for a sequel to the 1995’s Jumanji proved to be a worthy project. The combination of appealing actors made it clear that this film will either be a fun adventure movie or a disaster.

Star Performance :

The younger face of Johnson is a nerdy guy who is afraid of the world. While he enters the game, he transforms into a hunk with no physical weaknesses. Watching Dwayne go back and forth with his character is fun. Same goes with Jack Black, who plays a role of a social media addicted teenage girl.

What’s there?

1. The film did justice to the original ‘Jumanji’ paying a tribute to Robin Williams.

2. Each character has various strengths and weaknesses which come into play, just as they clearly would if this was an actual video game.

What’s not there?

1. This film is as far a sequel you can get with very minute changes.

2. Of course, making a plot which is designed to look like it came from a video game is a very complicated task, as filming a video game scenario is pretty feeble, and Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle is no exception.

3. Usually, video game based films have their plot based on gameplay, but Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle has jokes, and so you wouldn’t bother if the plot doesn’t hold together.

Verdict :

Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle ends up being a fun, adventurous film that is worth the time and money and would keep you entertained throughout.
