Stars: Dwayne Johnson, Kevin Hart, Jack Black, Karen Gillan, Bobby Cannavale, Nick Jonas, Alex Wolff, Madison Iseman, Ser’Darius Blain, Morgan Turner | Written by Chris McKenna, Erik Sommers, Scott Rosenberg, Jeff Pinkner | Directed by Jake Kasdan
Directed by Jake Kasdan, Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle is only a sequel to its 1995 predecessor in the sense that it features a game called Jumanji that sucks people into it, so if you’ve been waiting 22 long years to see a load of poorly-rendered CGI animals running riot through a city then you should brace yourself for disappointment. Instead, this updated version (the board game is now a video game) is more like a fantasy action / comedy vehicle for co-stars Dwayne Johnson and Kevin Hart, with Jack Black and Karen Gillan tagging along for the ride.
The film begins with four high schoolers discovering a dusty old games console while in Saturday detention.
