Review of Jumanji (1995) by Erik G — 25 Jan 2012
Roll the dice and unleash the excitement! It took around 26 years to finish playing a board game that brings out all the action from the jungle whenever a player rolls the dice and read a card. When a 5 or an 8 is rolled, Alan returns to the real world after disappearing from sight to Jumanji (and hence the game's title).
The two kids, Judy and Peter play the Jumanji game and bring out all the perilous things such as wild animals, rain, quicksand, and the villainous hunter Van Pelt as a result of taking turns. I find the film action great when it comes to the special effects (SFX) that created the wild gone onto town.
Plus, I even read the original children's book from Chris Van Allsburg; the film makers must have made the story even better through the addition to different time settings and good action sequences.
