Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle (2017)

The original was very good and all the actors meshed together perfectly, I don't know if they could duplicate that kind of success. The movie will more than likely be shot in 3D which means that the studio will focus more on the money they will make off of the 3D ticket sales than actually putting out a good movie.

I really enjoy the original but I've wondered on several occasions how it would look with modern effects. I guess we're going to find out. I did really like the original cast though and as noted I think they will be hard to replace. I just hope they don't lose the story in the effects if they proceed with this.

I wish Hollywood would stop with the reboots now, its getting silly.

Nothing wrong with the original.

I love the original!

Why are Sony trying to destroy my childhood?

or the first interactive movie. The crowd plays the game? Everyone in the audience gets a device that lets them roll a number. And that number most people rolled is what will be played. And each spot on the board is something different. Imagine the revisits to the theater. What would happen if we didn't go 6 steps, and went 3?

Just shooting off.

They look through their properties, and see what they'd like to reboot. This must have had enough positive things going for it, in terms of home video sales and theatrical box office originally, to make them want to bring it back 20 years later for a new audience.

They could've re-released the original in theaters, but decided to spend the money to reimagine it I guess.

I would prefer if they just called it Jumanji Returns (2).

Why can't they just do another loosely-linked sequel? Zathura: A Space Adventure was brilliant because it did something new with the idea of a board game coming to life; I'd like to see something as inventive with the Jumanji idea as that.

There's so many more interesting possibilities they could explore other than a remake. Remaking it is just the lazy and unimaginative option.

My thoughts exactly. I still need to import this from Germany for the steelbook.
