i don't understand why all the hate for a movie which has not even had a trailer come out,
It is clearly a sequel as stated by Dwayne Johnson and not a remake and they do pay tribute to Robin Williams also stated by Dwayne Johnson, all they have to do is change the title so it sounds like sequel.
so stop pre-judging a movie before its even out and when it does come out, see it then whinge and complain to your little hearts desire
Because Jumanji is no Fast & Furious yet that's exactly what Dwayne Johnson is turning it into... he even hashtags #fastandfurious to his Jumanji instagram posts!
You might as well call the film "Sex and the City 3".
It's the internet. Sure it's cynical to return to an existing property but I don't think it'll be as mean spirited or as you mentioned, inconsiderate.
Whatever you are, be a good one.
Oh I certainly don't think it's mean spirited... I certainly like Dwayne Johnson... but everything about him and his "lmao, this film gonna be dope" seems so mismatched with the first film's vibe.
shareBecause people love to hate.
shareOK, I watched it at the cinema and I wasn't impressed. It is a 10 to 12 year old kiddie movie. They might be excited to see it, but definitely not people over 30 :) I think it deserves a 6 on "imdb" rating.
shareSorry, this 60 year old enjoyed it very much. It's certainly is not great cinema. But it is a fun, entertaining romp which respects the original and the "evolution" of the game fits the game's interest in pulling in new players.
shareJust watched the trailer and it looks like fun to me. I'm definitely over 30 ;)
Sometimes a fun, entertaining romp is exactly what you feel like watching, regardless of age. I loved Raiders of the Lost Ark and Jurassic Park for the same reasons.
Right. Many over 30 are enjoying it.
If anything, many over 30 might appreciate some parts of it more, because they remember those old Atari, NES and Genesis consoles, and those gnarly Cindy Crawford references.
I also think the movie does a good job of explaining video game culture even to those who aren't into gaming. A grandmother watching this would get the basic idea that, in video games, you have a limited number of lives, but get to repeat your actions after dying. They would get that some video game characters (NPCs) recite the same scripted lines because that's what they're programmed to do. And in the video game world, your character can have superhuman abilities (like we saw with The Rock and Ruby Roundhouse) - allowing people to roleplay as heroes, much like many do with movies, comic books and novels.
