Thoughts on Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle

Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle is largely forgettable. While the actors seem to be having fun the movie drags with a lackluster script. The actors do play their parts well and add some charm to an otherwise dull movie. The dialogue is vapid and obvious and the effects are cartoonishly lazy. This update is unwelcome and the worst kind of pointless cash-grab that, unfortunately, seems to be on par for Sony Pictures. It just reeks of desperation. I would say not to bother seeing it, but even if you did see it you would likely forget the movie.
