Your reactions are utterly terrible. You purposely gloss over important events, berate characters if they dare say something that you personally don't like or is unexpected, and you simply don't have any appreciation for meaningful events and interactions happening in any series.

When the new jumanji came out most people never watched this one, it was always sad to me. This one is far superior, and a one-of-a-kind in its genre.

[@kateorgera5907]

I mean, I think they are too different to really compare - old Jumanji is a family action adventure, new Jumanji is an action comedy. But I get why this one resonates with some people more, it gets into some pretty deep places and can be genuinely scary in a way the new ones aren't. Plus, I mean, Robin Williams.

Also, interestingly, the fact that Van Pelt and Mr. Parrish are played by the same actor mirrors a similar plot device used in stage productions of Peter Pan, where Hook and Mr. Darling are played by the same actor, which is particularly funny since Robin Williams played Peter Pan in Hook before this film.

[@maximillianosaben]

The father/son reunion scene at the end always gets to me. Didn't used to when this movie first came out, but time will have that effect.

Connections to the sequels: - When Alan and Sarah dropped the game in the river, it DID get found by someone else - specifically Alex's father in 1996, which we see in the first scene of Welcome to the Jungle. Alex is essentially the Alan of the sequel films. - As some have pointed out, Alan Parrish's name is mentioned by Alex Vreeke in the treehouse, implying that the treehouse was built by Alan when he was trapped there for 26 years and that the jungle he was trapped in is the same jungle we see in the sequels. - Aunt Nora is the same character who takes over Eddie's restaurant in The Next Level, just in the alternate timeline where Alan never disappeared. They are played by the same actress. - The hunter, Van Pelt, shares a name with the villain of Welcome to the Jungle, though they are not played by the same actor and have very different skillsets. - Spencer and Alan share the same line about the game: "A game for those who seek to find a way to leave their world behind" - That sequel hook to Next Level? Basically says if we ever get a third one it might be a lot like the original Jumanji film.

[@guitarman0365]

its the same but also not. the game changed to video game format and my bet is the environment and difficulty settings changed with it. Maybe a meta commentary as well about old games versus new games. I just cant picture alan in the new version of jumanji hanging out with a bunch of npcs and shit . Like he looked genuinely traumatized and shit from his time there. the new jumanji movies have a completely different vibe and i believe that was intentional to indicate it is not exactly the same experience alan had but remnants of the old lasted like his treehouse.

[@emerge3396]

This movie is a classic hands down. The CGI and prop work is actually insane for the time.

Sarah was the only sensible person in this movie. The way everyone else was willing to just continue playing was crazy.

1. this movie terrified me as a kid. 2. it wasn't until i was older that i appreciated the fact that van pelt/alan's dad were played by the same actor, commenting on how alan's actual fear was of his father.

[@jgreen2015]

The issue with the new ones (and every other sort of remake including Jurassic world series) is that they miss the point. This isn't just a film about a magic board game. That's the superficial plot. But it's really about family and reconciliation. Much like how Jurassic park isn't about a dinosaur park. That's just the vehicle through which the themes of hubris, ethics in science, and playing god are explored. The remakes and newer sequels miss that and just copy/continue the superficial plot so they have no heart

[@kateorgera5907]

In the case of Jumanji, I'm not sure they were trying to copy the superficial plot without considering deep themes, I think they just used the board game plot as inspiration for a different kind of story, because they knew they couldn't recreate the magic of this one and decided to just go in a different direction instead. I do think they all deal with the theme of reconciliation, though. It's just not as deep when the sequels deal with a reconciliation between friends while this one deals with a reconciliation between father and son.

Zathura did a good job

I would DIE if you did Zathura!! I also loved that one as a kid and had a huge crush on Josh and Kristen 😹😹 This movie is just so amazing to be and I never get tired of it. Like it still feels intense each time. I actually kinda love that you saw the modern ones first. I do enjoy them, they feel like a nice homage, and they are so much fun but it doesn’t quite compare. This one has such a deeper story and has such good direction for anxiety. I think my favorite thing about the movie is the practical effects and the general atmosphere it creates. ❤❤

Zathura has always been a childhood classic of mine, the sibling rivalry is so real and comedic, and I was always terrified of the obstacles Danny and Walter faced in that bloody game. Definitely worth watching👌✨ (I would also highly recommend the new Netflix film Leo, such a nice movie that 2023 needed)

Great reaction! Yes the dad and Van Pelt are played by the same actor, it's an homage to Peter Pan stage plays where theatre tradition has the actor who plays Mr. Darling also play Captain Hook!

[@forestcatkay14]

This Jumanji is certainly more scarier even if its obvious the creatures are mechanic or stuffed animals. The sequels failed at the fear part, having multiple lives you can kinda waste isnt scary. Living one life and having to survive all that is terrifying. Loved your reaction and good catch on the hunter being the dad.

I casually asked her if she'd watched the first one and she obviously replied NO. Made her watch the original the next day and I actually caught her jumping scared at her seat a few times. I remember her gasping when Kirsten gets hit with the poison darts. The new ones just don't make you feel that way.
