As the story proceeds they end up knowing that hey have only 3 lives and if they lost it they will die for real and their is an adventure ahead of them. They have to complete. So will they be able to come back to the real world?
Performance and Cast -
Dwayne Johnson(Bravestone) as Spencer has done a great job and has performed very well. Kevin hart(Franklin Mouse Finbar) as Fridge was awesome with his comic timing and always keeps the fun element alive in the whole movie. Jack Black(Professor Sheldon) as Bethany has done his part well and had some funny sequences where he shines the most. Karen Gillan(Ruby Round House) as Martha was fine.
As far as direction and script goes the main attraction in the movie is watching the familiar actors playing the roles of teenager and the direction was fine too.
Music and Cinematography -
The music of the drums you will know if you have seen the prequel Jumanji always brings some bad news with it is also kind of adds a fun element. Cinematography was great seeing some good Jungle scenarios.
Some Highlight Scenes -
After jumping off the Waterfall when all go to pee. Jack rules in that sequence.
Kevin Hart rules when he they were near the pond just after getting sucked into the game.
Karen rules when she is trying to flirt with the guards.
Johnson adds the comic element when he makes the hunk face.
So, at the end a good movie but not a cinema hall watch.
Thats all from my side
Peace Out
