On December 13th we get the sequel to one of the most fun films to have been released in the past decade, the remake of Jumanji.
Jumanji, the original, was one of my favorite movies after bringing one of the most original concepts to the silver screen. Then the remake was announce with 2 of my favorite actors and people in entertainment and despite some doubt expressed by fans of the original movie, Dwayne Johnson and Kevin Hart delivered in spades, alongside Karen Gillan and Jack Black. Better yet, we are now getting a sequel that looks like it builds on what made the previous movie successful.
In Jumanji: The Next Level, the gang is back but the game has changed. As they return to Jumanji to rescue one of their own, they discover that nothing is as they expect. The players will have to brave parts unknown and unexplored, from the arid deserts to the snowy mountains, in order to escape the world’s most dangerous game.
