Review of Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle (2017) by Alissa914 — 22 Dec 2017

Well, it was better than Last Jedi, if that means anything. A typical popcorn flick that was surprisingly decent. It had a good pace to it and the cast was actually very good. Nick Jonas surprises me with his acting ability every time, seriously.

So how was it? Well, if you've seen the trailer, you've seen all the really good jokes in the film. There were a few jokes here and there that were mildly amusing but nothing as funny as what's in the trailer.

Kevin Hart does his typical "I'm not Chris Tucker, but I act like him" schtick, Jeff Black was what I imagine a teenage girl would be if she found out she were a guy. Karen Gillian (sp?) was actually decent here and Dwayne Johnson always makes you love him when he's on screen.

It plays off like a game but after an hour or so, the time was just flying by. Good enough to spend $14 on for a ticket but don't expect to be laughing too much if you've seen the trailer. It's still a good movie though and I'm not sorry I went.
