Full Review (Spoilers)

Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle returns to your favorite board game but this time it transforms into an Atari system. You have a ton of jokes, sadness and a lot of heart felt moments when you have Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson at the helm. This movie does enough to pay homage to the 1995 version while carving out its own identity in this rich world. Bring your family along for the ride.

DC's Hypothetical Corner

Let’s say I change one thing. Maybe that one thing will make this movie better or more watchable.

Not much. It pays homage to the original while carving out its own identity.
