I really wasn't expecting much from this, but now I can see why critics and audiences are liking it so much. Some of its juvenile humor may not sit well with everybody, but I didn't think it got in the way personally. The four leads all do their parts surprisingly well. I laughed for a good portion of this movie and I'm glad I got to watch it. In fact, I probably had more fun in this than the first installment. It's easily worth a good watch.
7	Ytadel	7 _83rd
Hey this was actually pretty fun, I think the community here is underrating it a little. Simplistically plotted, never reaching beyond the emotional depth of a Saturday morning cartoon, sure. But I didn't expect when hearing about some weird Jumanji reboot/sequel a couple years back that it would end up probably being the best loving, knowing sendup of classic video game tropes and cliches since Wreck-It Ralph.
7	BillyShears	65 _42nd
Every movie with the Rock has him doing something with or to a helicopter.
7	Luna6ix	80 _74th
When the first "Jumanji" came out, I was nine, smack dab in the target range, but I remember coming out of that movie having wished that I spent that hour and a half playing with Legos or GI Joes, rather than watching that movie. So, it surprises me to say that this sequel is leagues better than the original, it's highly entertaining from the moment they enter Jumanji. Hart is less obnoxious than usual, Black and The Rock are awesome in their roles, and I would see this one again in a heartbeat.
6	schnofel	75 _84th
It's a rather novel idea to mix a body switch comedy with a meta Indiana Jones actioner where each character knows exactly about the rules and boundaries of the plot they're in. The teenagers who disappear soon enough are so well drawn that we continue to recognize their behavior throughout the adventure, and the difficulty they face is almost existential for such a tentpole: Can you accept and inhabit the character you have chosen to play?
6	hellboy76	67 _58th
It's not going to win any awards but sometimes it's alright to just be entertaining. The Rock continues to be the most charismatic action star in history.
6	Jasongirl67	100 _94th
Loved this movie No disrespect to the original film but this was above and beyond in every aspect Great action comedy that doesn't take itself too seriously
5	jacobclark12	56 _43rd
If you guessed that Jumanji would be a throwaway action comedy, congratulations! You're exactly right; however, don't sleep on it for one second. It's the best kind of undemanding entertainment, full of good comedy and some surprisingly great performances. Despite not being inventive or deep and struggling at times to maintain its video game elements, it does not fail to wildly entertain for one second and is a good time at the movies.
4	Kojiless	28 _28th
Having not given a shit about the original, imagine my surprise when, after watching the remake-boot-imagining, I had no shits to give for this one, either. The Rock appears to be having fun, and Karen Gillan is easy on the eyes in her midriff-less sports bra, but watching Jack Black and Kevin Hart stain the celluloid with their tired brand of reactionary humor is like watching the US Supreme Court rule on lesbian cake abortions at the legendary Apollo Theater in Harlem.
4	KasperL	70 _65th
Very entertaining. It proved an excellent hangover cure, and I enjoyed the silly company of the four leads so much that I might just go ahead and rewatch it at some point.
4	TheRealJ-Ro	65 _31st
When you're talking straight comedy movies, you want to have fun, right? You want to laugh, right? You are in luck, my friends -- this is fun and funny and has a surprising amount of heart. Which is more than I expected out of a movie that, I'll be honest, I expected to dislike or be ambivalent to. There's some stuff here that hooks you -- from the video game aesthetics to the inter-relationships (even the under-developed ones) to the outright foolishness and low-brow comedy. This was just fun.
4	BionicNinjas	80 _65th
Far better than it has any right being.
4	bof	54 _30th
It's dumb, but unlike the original movie, it has a... whatchamacallit... plot, with, like, character development and actual action scenes and stuff.
4	mattorama12	72 _68th
This is a lot of fun. There's no shortage of laughs for any of the four leads, and even the action scenes aren't half bad. Another movie that was better than it had any right to be.
4	Dakota99	6 _62nd
I think everyone was thrown for a loop with this. Even if all the humor doesn't land for everyone, there is so much fun to be had. Johnson, Hart, Black, and Gillian all have insanely great chemistry, rarely do you find to have that much flow in a group, the movie never slows down, it keeps the punches coming and even if you see a few things coming from a mile away, it's undoubtedly fun to still watch go down. Very interesting to see where this goes after its huge success.
4	Corbad	75 _67th
The filmmakers kept their formula simple and achieved every result they reached for. The film is predictable and the concept is tacky, but everything works and the final product is actually a lot of funa lesson in the KISS theory achieving great results: Keep It Simple, Silly. That each of the adult leads nailed their role and clearly had fun doing it certainly doesn't hurt, either.
4	law	55 _47th
Jack Black's portrayal of a teenage girl is the only redeeming thing about this otherwise exceedingly generic action-adventure. Gone is the wondrous, terrifying flora and fauna of the original, to be replaced by some lame warlord's army. The action is tensionless, and the world's nondescript. Blah. Skip.
3	joseywales	74 _69th
I had a blast watching it. The Rock can do no wrong and (aside from Jack Black) the rest of the cast held their own.
3	Difontaine	65 _42nd
It was decent fun and I enjoyed it. Not an award winner but it filled the time.
3	Mentaculus	76 _64th
Everyone involved is having the Best Goddamned Time of their lives and this effervescence carries the film through the ludicrous plot and derivative fetch-quest meta-game story. I see genius in the performances and we need to collectively redefine what acting excellence is for popular film comedy.
3	Koalafish	60 _30th
As a movie for kids its not that terrible.
3	INDYATMN	84 _70th
Presumably Jake Kasdan is the reason for this working since all of its other elements (a comedic reboot of a sucky high-concept film no one was asking for starring actors who are mostly one-trick ponies who haven't fared well in scripted comedies) suggest I should hate this. But, surprise, the comedy's good enough to grab & hold my attention & induce enough laughs that by the third act, I'd come to like the thoroughly likeable characters enough that I can imagine sitting through a sequel.
3	sellis	67 _33rd
Honestly pretty funny slapstick action-adventure, bookended by some godawful high school Breakfast Club stuff. Jack Black is an American treasure. Can't imagine how fun this was to shoot. Would see these four leads in just about any setting.
3	Stewball	80 _80th
First comedy in a long time that actually didn't go for 3rd grade low-ball humor and it worked, with large audiences. Even the intricacies of the game were well thought out.
3	guy piranha	60 _40th
i must've gotten my hands on a shoddy release or something, because it went to slowmo and "careless whisper" started playing every time karen gillan was on screen. did you know that guilty feet have got no rhy...aaah! get out of my head!
3	damil	50 _25th
It feels like a different script that just got the Jumanji name slapped onto it & they inserted a few little references to it. It's the boring type of bad, where there's nothing significantly wrong with it & yet, I didn't enjoy myself. The premise is fine, but they don't do anything interesting or exciting with it. I don't mind the cast members as individuals, but they don't really have chemistry together. Overall, it was just a dull, predictable movie that didn't try hard enough.
3	lena_c	3 _43rd
I thought it would be lame, but I laughed throughout the whole thing. Not the best story, but I must say - they pulled it off! *Recommendable
3	eCitizen	50 _49th
I was off put by the crazy character transformation getting into the game and by the video game movie format. It was moderately amusing though. Karen Gillian was unexpectedly gorgeous and cute when being awkward. I might have laughed out loud once, but there are several humorous moments. The story is not well developed, nor was it particularly engaging. A mostly decent waste of time.
3	Yiannos	40 _7th
Lazy film making that is the very epitome of what's wrong with contemporary event films. The functional opening scene is emblematic: a kid casually stumbles across the game on a beach, takes it home, presses play and a green light emanates from his bedroom. It plays like an afterthought. Even the worst 'blockbusters' of the 80's and 90's made an effort to start with a bang. There is no inspiration powering this vehicle whatsoever. It's a film by committee scored to the sound of a click track.
3	joel-w-m	5 _25th
The in-video game premise is clever and fun (see the NPCs) but the stakes feel low, despite the limited lives and creepy (crawly) baddie, and the emotional arc is pretty weak too. More importantly though, the adventure-action is good, and the comedy is great (even if it slows down the pace a little too much at points); the four leads excel in their high-school personality roles and bring lots of laughs (Black as the stereotypical popular girl is a highlight, but they all have their moments).
3	luord	71 _72nd
A surprisingly committed cast and hilarious script and direction make "Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle" an unexpectedly funny and spry comedy.
2	Vandelay1	70 _75th
good movie
2	Ofterdingen	61 _54th
Fun, though a bit monotone.
2	Obdurate	70 _40th
Funnier and a little more emotional than expected. Great casting and I like this Hart/Rock dynamic they got going on. Really, the Rock elevates most of the movies he's in because his charm is alluring. Some really good jokes here and the ones I didn't laugh at didn't elicit a groan from me, meaning that hey, no comedy will get you 100% of the time but at least the jokes aren't shit.
2	TV+Film-Hub	23 _86th
The Rock, Kevin Heart, Jack Black, and a Hot Chick! No, it's not high brow! It is laugh-out-loud with a lot of ass kicking, and unfortunately some over-played high school melodrama, but you knew that was coming! It's not a perfect film, not even a great film, but it is a fun film to watch in theater!
2	Neonman	66 _27th
Hardly comparable to the original, as it brings the jungle in the city back to the jungle, so it's more of a straight-forward adventure film. It works well for the most part, it's at its most entertaining when it's at its most stupid, and Jack Black's character was surprisingly nowhere near as cringey as I thought.
2	WWallce4prez	65 _35th
This meta-body-switch-comedy shines, primarily, because of its cast and their wonderful chemistry. Many of of the jokes are fine and the actual plot is uninspiring, but it is clear that everyone involved is having a really good time.
2	psim	72 _35th
More of a spiritual sequel than trying to recreate the original, but that's probably for the best. Silly jokes and a charming cast, mixed with some video game tropes, make for an enjoyable movie.
2	kgbelliveau	80 _51st
The grand visuals were obviously designed for 3D viewing and that hurt my home viewing experience. It was saved by the cast and their ability to generate chemistry and comedic situations. It sort of falls middle of the pack story wise as it does not really do anything complex and extraordinary. It plays out like a simplistic video game, one that goes for visual style over story.
2	braddad68	88 _37th
Fun popcorn movie suitable for the whole family.
2	caramlefloat	90 _82nd
The humor was silly, but not stupid as I thought it might be. Enjoyed Jack Black's performance the most! Good modern take of Jumanji compared to the original with Robin Williams.
2	ribcage	67 _50th
direction made my eyes hurt but the jokes made my sides hurt. That's an obtuse way of saying it's damn funny. You expect the cast to be funny but they knock it out of the park, not just the delivery of the jokes but the remarkable (career pinnacle performance for Black) way they act as avatars of archetype teenagers. The challenges aren't as mystifying or daunting as the original, nor is the action much, but this is a through and through comedy and it excels at that
2	thorn969	35 _31st
Very mild fun. It was entertaining... but left me feeling very empty. It wasn't a bad movie in any way, just felt out-of-touch and almost purely directed at children.
2	Ritteh	69 _56th
Not perfect, but still fun. Definitely worth the rental. Jack Black's and Kevin Hart's characters, I feel, were often over the top and could have been toned down a bit, but otherwise enjoyable.
2	FoxyRussian	80 _41st
A Fun action comedy. Nothing crazy special with it, but overall a fun laugh filled time at the movies. Every charactr, before the Jonas Brother, gets actual characterization and does a good job of switching between jokes and being serious when need be (Especially better than some current blockbusters like Star Wars or Marvel or DC). Jack Black gives an amazing performance as a teenage girl. Really nails the role in every aspect. As good as RDJ was in Tropic Thunder
2	juntakinte99	70 _38th
Here you go Millennial kids: a Jumanji sequel that mashes up Breakfast Club & Indiana Jones. However, the action-adventure is just so-so, even though fanboys could dig how he translates gamer language to a lay audience. The director is good at getting laughs via comedic actors (as shown in reusing performers from his underrated Orange County.) and The Rock and Karen Gillan's performance. It could've been a bit more aggressive, but as a mainstream popcorn movie it gets a marginal recommendation.
2	orcunyondem	82 _74th
Jumanji is one of my childhood favs. It didn't ruin it all fortunately. Better than expected.
2	Temptershell	80 _74th
I expected a tragic production that will cut off coupons from the original, and it has become completely different. This film defends itself, even without reference to the first part, and is self-aware production with well-drawn figures and background. The only minus is the villain.
2	philamental	74 _68th
A surprisingly enjoyable action adventure family flick. I'm not even that big a fan of the original but here the board game is upgraded to a video game and it was fun to watch these characters navigate within the rules of the medium. The four leads play off each other well but credit must go to the Rock who is perfect as the main 'hero' and his charisma carries a number of scenes.
2	sedric	75 _70th
To be fair, they got me at The Rock + Karen Gillian. But it's still funny, and the very first time I found Jack Black is not killing it.
2	VorpalKitten	80 _59th
Surprisingly fun, come and watch a big budget action-comedy with your favorite stars! Just don't expect it to be anything like the 1995 movie.
2	thunderPIN	80 _68th
Jumanji: WTTJ is a pleasant surprise! It doesn't disrespect the original at all. The plot is very clever and the comedy scratches the right itch. There's plenty of action and it manages to consistently entertain. They actually managed to bring back Jumanji the proper way. I came out enjoying this more than I thought I would. Don't worry about Jumanji being desecrated because this ends up being a fun viewing. All four leads do a terrific job. 4 STARS
2	zoink	75 _90th
Fun, is the first word that comes to mind, and I rarely have this much fun at a movie.
2	Monisit	74 _52nd
It's stupid, but it's the right amount of stupid and it knows it.
2	Xenophule	9 _72nd
Watch: in theaters for big kaboom action. \| So this isn't a Jumanji movie. It doesn't have the same flow or feel of Jumanji/Zathura at all. There's a couple scenes in it that link it to the Jumanji universe, but that's really it. That said, this was a very enjoyable movie! Watching these guys act like they're awkward teenagers is a riot and the movie is very pretty. Don't watch it if you're going to be critical. Do watch it if you want to see these guys being silly.
2	xreleased	4 _24th
While I enjoyed much of the video game satire, this was still a pretty cliche and by-the-numbers remake.
1	wayofthegun	80 _66th
I liked this waaaaay more than I expected. A creative update for a new era with plenty of humor to spare.
1	Voltaire53	73 _53rd
Predictably all the teenagers transported into the game learn about themselves and to work together and not be as much the dysfunctional types they started the movie as but, while it isn't deep, it is great fun and an enjoyable watch with nice nods to the original and also to video game tropes - the characters in the game were played well (though some did change attitude a bit too quickly to be believable). I had fun watching this occasionally cheesy and often very funny adventure yarn.
1	Harmonica	57 _18th
Risible action adventure with some of the charm but none of the thrills, style or emotional clout of the original. The screenplay-by-committee is dumb, hokey juvenilia that barely establishes characters or their arcs, largely undermining the self-discovery narrative. I appreciate the videogame-positivism, though it is overly simplistic and underplayed for a savvy 2017 crowd. Despite these shortcomings, the four leads are fully committed, providing good entertainment, laughs and pathos.
1	Kavu	65 _40th
Surprisingly funny and entertaining. More hit than miss.
1	bojanpopic	79 _56th
It was fun!
1	lrampartl	55 _39th
Perfectly acceptable popcorn movie, I suppose.
1	cagedwisdom	0 _4th
Maaaaaan, this was an exhausting experience. I'm not going to say it's all bad, there's some genuine humor and good ideas in here somewhere, but boy is it an absolute piece of insufferable garbage on the whole - it really fails to come together. Like a masterpiece is often more than the sum of its parts, Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle is far, far less.
1	MJVmovieMan	62 _34th
Passable Saturday afternoon entertainment that has little of the wonder and terror of the original, but has a fun concept and stars willing to dive in. The world of Jumanji is less exciting than what the original surmised, and the villain in this sequel feels nearly absent. But this is still a very watchable film.
1	martryn	71 _54th
Another Rock / Hart team-up, this time with Jack Black and Nick Jonas, and that girl that is better known for being bald and painted blue. I went to the theater to watch this legit as an excuse to get out of sex with this fat girl I was set up on a blind date with. Saw it in 4D, which was a miserable experience. I liked the basic premise of the movie, and the stars have charisma (especially The Rock), but it's nothing special.
1	frederic_g54	6 _35th
Every once in a while, I need some Dwayne Johnson in my life, and he hasn't been this fun to watch since The Tooth Fairy. L'Chaim!
1	msprague	70 _61st
Entertaining and fun. Good cast, loved the rhinos and the hippos.
1	Duder	65 _59th
I like comedies that know what they are. This might be the very definition of a popcorn movie. Had decent laughs with not much else, quite good for what it is.
1	elmakebabi	75 _77th
I never expected this would be so refreshing and entertaining. Especially Bethany character played by Jack Black is my favorite.
1	walkearth	50 _37th
Not as nearly as bad as expected. The reboot of Jumanji is in fact a very enjoyable experience, mainly due to the excellent execution of the old body-switch gimmick. Jack Black is completely believable in his reprisal of a coquettish teenage girl, The Rock, Gillan and Kevin Hart not too shabby either. Great chemistry, a few decent jokes throughout, a decent nod to 90s and video games culture. I hate to be the one saying it, but as a throwaway comedy I'd recommend it.
1	omgfridge	6 _53rd
Any film that does one thing to make me burst out laughing has done something right. It's all a bit silly but sometimes that's alright.
1	nauru	30 _21st
This was pretty disappointing. Dwayne Johnson, Kevn Hart and Jack Black are all great, but the writing is awful. Jumanji is supposed to be about loads of animals; instead there are random dirtbikes throughout the whole movie and it makes no sense. Rewatch the original instead.
1	SirStuckey	70 _56th
Amusing and fun. It will go unheralded but Karen Gillan and to a sligtly lesser extent Dwayne Johnson both did a very good job capturing the teenage version of their characters. Not sure which parts were filmed first so maybe the teen actors deserve more credit.
1	Ernestina	76 _79th
As I adore Jumanji, I was skeptical towards this one, but to my surprise it held its own rather well. Great modern version adaptation, I had a little gamegasm when they used "NPC". Sure, it lacks some of the original excitement and magic, as it drifts away from the real world and plays out with The Rock on a helicopter. The whole teens in adult bodies was overall fine, let's say we witnessed just people transitioning into adulthood rather abruptly. I would definitely see a third installment.
1	Dunder74	3 _14th
for the first 45 min, i really only found jack black funny and then he started kicking me in the face too. ugh. it's probably not as bad as i'm reviewing it, but the combination of a dependency on potty/sex humor, kevin hart's notion of comedy, and the memories of robin william's interviews on craig ferguson made this all quite a sour film-going experience for me. give rhys darby more work.
1	Gideon	1 _16th
Overlong, poorly paced, piss poor plot, cheesy, lame as fook and oh yes I much preferred the original. Hollywood is becoming more retarded by the day.
1	Jerky	55 _59th
I mean it's ok for a dumb summer movie. Kevin Hart has no range, The Rock is good as always, but never great, Jack Black is borderline cringe as an effeminate person, Bobby Cannavale was hammy as shit, but Karen Gillan steals the movie and runs with her part. Nick Jonas was acceptable as well.
1	bktan	70 _51st
Fun once.
1	thegreyfox	80 _74th
Not EXACTLY sure why they used dirt-bikes as the main chasers, because it took away a vital aspect of "jungle"; most of the animals were simply cameo roles. That said, JWttJ was very entertaining with a really likeable cast (both parts). The plot was simple, but using some good vid-game ideas (characters guarding locations: having set reponses) and the avatars harking back to their real-self "issues", this was a great way to spend a couple of hours. I know I shouldnt say it, but I love the Rock!
1	iyisinek	80 _85th
Güldüğüm filme düşük puan veremem. Eğlenceli.
1	ericambler	60 _24th
JUMANJI: WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE is an above-average adventure romp with moments of surprising humor and focus-grouped heart. It perfectly captures the ethos of the current blockbuster era: there's something for everyone, but probably little that speaks to you directly. All in all, it's an appealing marionette show that leaves you with a pleasant feeling upon its conclusion. Also, disregard the title chosen for name recognition--this is UNCHARTED: THE MOVIE.
1	Scorpus	62 _24th
Neither good nor bad, Jumanji Welcome to the Jungle is a ridiculous yet fun film that shouldn't be taken too seriously
1	TheDailyNathan	75 _41st
Solid movie, a lot better than I had expected, but still forgettable. Decent update on the Jumanji story, refreshing it for the modern day but without retreading anything to where you'd be bored. More of a comedy than the adventure of the original.
1	Minorsage	55 _29th
Funny, just don't think too hard - like how Alex screws up the timeline of the world
1	JJ1986	60 _54th
Pretty good. Nicely video-gamey. The actors do a pretty good job playing the kids in their bodies instead of just playing themselves. Different enough from the first film.
1	hotsake	62 _56th
This is quite dumb but also entertaining enough so that I didn't get bored. Plus the Rock is always fun to watch.
1	SirSass	70 _69th
Jack Black was always meant to play a teenage girl.
1	magdabag	84 _54th
Thoroughly enjoyed this movie. Pretty wiiiild.
1	Kuroel	65 _68th
If you find yourself having miserable time with this movie, you should reconsider being such a sour-puss. Not an intellectual masterpiece by any stretch, and not as charming as the first installment, but well worth your while if you enjoy comedic adventures. The Rock delivers on the "smoldering" and Jack Black gets a delicious character to go loose with!
1	PUNQ	70 _96th
Hey, I'm all for adding video game rules to movies!
1	TheEscapist	72 _59th
Fun flick, great for what it is and tries to be.
1	DyanneThorne	53 _38th
The characters are super-annoying teenagers and it's downright idiotic that Jumanji is now a video game considering how hip boardgames are right now. But once the quest gets started it's okay in a "fun, mindless action" way, albeit very predictable, especially if you've seen the old one. A couple of bonus points for having Marc Evan Jackson in there.
1	christof	80 _54th
Really good fun. The best I've seen of the classic body-swap-style comedy shtick of playing against type (don't expect to have learned anything profound by the end).
1	JSchlansky	45 _22nd
Mostly just bland, not terrible. Jack Black's teen girl impression is easily the best part of the film. You can tell the producers were afraid that people wouldn't get the 'video-game-talk' so anytime a term like 'NPC' or 'cut-scene' is used there is a super expository line that explains it to the audience.
1	BadFurDay	7 _74th
Very different from the original Jumanjis (the book, the movie, and its sequel). That's not a bad thing though. Basically, this movie is the high quality version of your teen slapstick politically correct popcorn comedy of the month that 99% people will enjoy watching. It made the list of comedies I'll gladly rewatch every few years with friends who haven't seen them yet. Dwayne Johnson and Jack Black were born to play roles like these.
1	KeyUtkan	60 _35th
Well its cliche, common and predictable. But damn its fun and warm.. And great acting.. Its a cool geek family movie..
1	ikkegoemikke	68 _71st
Now this was a surprise. It's a fun flick to watch. http://movie-freak.be/2018/04/jumanji-welcome-jungle-2017/ [Full Review]
1	Ippei	65 _45th
It's definitely no masterpiece, but it's fun and entertaining and that's all I really wanted from this. The idea is clever; transforming the board game into a video game, to match modern times, and characters playing different versions of themselves was super entertaining. There are certainly a lot of plot holes, and perhaps an unnecessary romantic troupe, but there is a nice homage to Robin Williams and that's good by me.
1	CStewart64	15 _82nd
W4E2P2S1V1M1A2R2. I loved it. Actually had to plead with my kids to watch it again the following night. Definitely silly, but with a little of the same high-stakes feel that made the original an above-average kids film. The Rock is the people's champion, and Jack Black is at his best.

Warm hearted, charming, surprising funny family-friendly adventure. It isn't the Godfather or The Big Lebowski but a very pleasant surprise. Effects occasionally ropey with built-in, potential excuse 'well it's deliberately reminding you they are in a video game' (?) With Jack Black & Jungle silliness it puts me somewhat in mind of a PG/Kid friendly Tropic Thunder... Cast had indiviudal charisma & group chemistry. Good Fun

Most surprising film of 2017. Jokes absolutely killed throughout. Jack Black stole the show. Somehow didn't ride coattails of first movie very hard.

Fun and summer entertainment.

An unneeded sequel to say the least. This movie rises above it's average plotting due to the amazing work from its four main adult stars. Aside from that, Welcome to the Jungle is a by-the-numbers adventure that never fully realizes its ideas.

How was this good? The formula of "awkward teenagers inhabit adult bodies" should be a disaster... but the writing and the acting completely sold it.
