Review of Jumanji (1995) by Waleed A — 25 Feb 2018

Fun and entertaining adventure movie. had some old movie qualities, like a really long setup before the movie gets going, and some terrible special effects, both CGI and practical, and I know for sure they sped up many scenes, but I think it might have been like half the movie, even regular non-special effects scenes looked like they were sped up. but this movie was surprisingly funny and really different. the concept is awesome and I love that it wasn't just consequence free fun, it really felt like they were all terrified and the game was a horror. and seeing what happened with the public was hilarious. the animals were funny, if only they used better CGI. so many cool parts, so many memorable moments. I thought kirsten's character was really funny. and robin williams was great. I was thinking about how cool it would be if they had today's special effects, but the big budget, start studded remake was absolutely awful.

with everything at their fingertips, they wrote garbage. this movie with all it's flaws, absolutely poops on welcome to the jungle (about 4 viewings).
