I like how many of you have decided this movie is bad knowing almost nothing about it.
CreepiestThingIveSeenAllWeek
In my mind the magic board game has just turned itself into a magic video game. I'm sure 200 years ago it was a magic card game or something
wamasi
Is this like in the animated series except their stuck inside the game?
FlorpingAllOver
This is going to suck soooo fucking hard
bogus1983
On the one hand, this is stupid. On the other... Amy Pond in a skimpy outfit.
Audentius
I hail from the future. This movie was one of the better releases of that year.
YeahFairiesWearBootsNala2011
"Jumanji but with no Jumanji"
LutraLazuli
why not video games
Nanaashi
It's just a magical video game instead
JediWithin
Just call the damn movie "Amazon Trail" and avoid all of this crap
TKBold
Whoa. That's a name I've not heard in years.
ISupportYourViews
I thought they just upgraded to a computer game. Progress, ya' know?
YourEx
well im excited to see it, and i think its better they are going a different direction with it. not just trying to re hash it in the same
IWasGettingYouABurrito
I agree, I'm looking forward to seeing it. Everyone just wants to follow the "how dare they" trend instead of trying to judge for themselves
robgompert42
I'm gonna make a reboot of phantasia were you can go to the theater and pay $20 to sit in front of a black screen and listen to music
Sweetranch
I also got mad at the name but my friend reminded me Jumanji can take the form of whatever game the kids want to play at the time.
FinneyMB
AP style says headlines use only single quotes... come on HuffPost! Drump will call you fake news! ... Ha, like he knows what style is...
Bitterbal
New Transformer movie will be about donuts and not robots.
skld
Seems like since the board is magic and all, it would want to change itself to be more used by current kids, meaning a video game is better.
BaronessCephia
Yep magical video game now, probably going to bomb like baywatch
DavidAhrentz
What is the problem?
domenick91
It also doesnt have monsters or weird stuff, just sorta big animals
domenick91
No giant spiders, no wasps, no giant plants. It's focusing more on the stampede for it's drama
otakon17
..then WHAT IS THE POINT OF MAKING A JUMANJI REBOOT?! IT'S ABOUT A MAGICAL BOARDGAME THAT IS LIKE REMOVING GHOSTS FROM GHOSTBUSTERS!
WarlockSniper
It's like The Blues Brothers without both Blues Brothers and an annoying litle twerp in it.
EvilEkips
Jumanji 2000
MechaNinja
The only reason I'm going to watch this movie is because Jack Black plays the jock's character.
MechaNinja
Damnit, Jack plays the hot girl's character, I'm a dummy. But I still like Jack Black.
PennePaladin
I'm pretty sure Jack Black is played by the cheerleader type girl
MechaNinja
Once I dreamed that Jack Black and I were superheroes in a world run by supervillians, and were best friends.
MechaNinja
Anytime we supered together, I would save the girl and he would clean up the mess I made.
MechaNinja
Not like he was my sidekick, more like he would just shake his head and do the real superhero work.
MechaNinja
Once he told me that at least I was predictable. Christopher Walken was nominally a good guy but you never knew what zaniness he'd get up to
PotatoesAndTea
Don't wanna sound annoying & prudish but come ON why's the only woman there not dressed for jungle trekking? Scratches & insect bites alone
TheShootpark56
That's the point. Pretty sure in the teaser Karen Gillian's characters asks the same thing.
PotatoesAndTea
Oh ok I haven't watched the trailer lol too worried they mightve butchered jumunji but thanks for the info
FluffyCat93
Probably to get horny teenagers/adults into cinemas.. because that's what makes the most money.

McKavian
That within itself may make this more watchable.
PotatoesAndTea
Yep
PotatoesAndTea
Thanks didn't know they were avatars, this movie actually sounds more interesting now
fitlex
They are avatars in a game, all the characters are playing avatars opposite to their personality, so the shy nerd is the hot girl
PotatoesAndTea
Ohhk
UncleVinny
It's like the Mummy movie not having Brendan Frasier...
raffinus
I see what you did there
Alavar
Different movie. Yes it was shit but it's opening up for a monster universe which I'm excited for.
BloodofHeroes
More like the Mummy movie not having a mummy.
Bimmie
*Fraser
alobstersjohnson
Or the trailer having all the sound channels
zflazeda
what does that mean for my friend
chrisharddick
Well idk if they could have gotten robin Williams for this movie
UncleVinny
It would've been a little more natural...
SomeCrazyNerd
Oh that sounds like a horrifying alternate reality. I'm glad we avoided that and President Hillary fixed the, wait a minute.
morgan0073
It's a totally different movie.
IvnWng
Yea I dont really get that, thats like saying all Dracula mvs in the future must have Bela Lugosi as its starring role. Its a diff movie!!!
UncleVinny

zflazeda
or a good script
DamianWinters
All we have seen is the trailor and it looked good.
zflazeda
the movie is out.... long ago
DamianWinters
I thought this was still about the new Jumanji, nvm.
gamblingpoet
I saw a preview, and it didn't look too bad? But attaching the Jumanji name to it is wrong. They should have gone the Zarthura route.
TheCrazySucculentLady
Zathura* sorry
woderwoman
What a fantastic film. I always have to watch it if I come across it!
zflazeda
wow I've been meaning to watch that movie and totally forgot
Ashpond
krapmyself
Which basically a sci fi Jumanji rip off. May as well just call it what it is: Jumanji.
gamblingpoet
yeah...they were books by the same author.
krapmyself
Yeah? So he made a sci fi version of Jumanji. So what? Not everyone is brimming over with original ideas. Why not milk your own success?
EvenStevensEvenSemen
The Hobbit is just a fucking shitty reboot of Lord of the Rings, yea, that makes sense, yea
Koala1923
Dafuq you talking about. The Hobbit is a prequel to LotR
youthinkdarknessisyourallyYoumerelyadoptedthedarkiwasborninit
No, Zathura and Jumanji are both children's books written by Chris Van Allsburg. Zathura isn't a ripoff of Jumanji.
samtherat6
Huh. TIL.
DamianWinters
What is wrong about them calling it Jumanji? its Jumanji but as a video game. It doesn't do anything to the old movie.
RubNipNotgay
but it do, where is Robin Williams? that is injustince
BLOODBOWLERSTEELWINGS
Well it turned out to not be that bad a movie they tied in robin with the treehouse that he lived in also for the fact that robin had passed
krapmyself
I'll see this. I like that they are taking old school game character tropes for yhe characters but giving them the personalities of the kids
krapmyself
Playing the game. Like the jack blacks character is actually a vain hot chick.
PointlessAndSillyUsername
It's a magical videogame, dwayne, karen, kevin and jack are the main characters in-game avatars...not even the The Rock can save this.
Vacationdad
My buddy got to see a prescreen and said it's actually really good. And we have a comedy group just to make fun of bad movies
lazyboomerang
DamianWinters
Did people watch a different trailer to me or something? because the trailer looked funny and interesting.
Leonon
makes me think of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lIES3ii-IOg
markiel
Thank you for this, it was amazing!
Stratego89
This plot is so overdone in anime. Hollywood really has run out of ideas, huh?
EricFromAccounts
Yeah but anime has never done it WELL though
Stratego89
BS. There's a couple good ones. SAO (despite it's many flaws) was at least decent until... THAT section...
Stratego89
Then there's No game no life- which IMO was absolutely fantastic, and fundamentally different from the rest of the overdone Isekai cliche.
Cheomesh
...wasn't there a movie about that already? Like, they were prisoners or something forced to fight to the death in a video game?
efhawthorne
Spy kids 3?
aPokal
Gamer http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1034032/ and was more a dystopian future thing. Rich gamers control felon. If felon survives a set number
aPokal
of matches, felon goes free. Was probably more about internet and social networks, than video games specifically. More Running Man.
Cheomesh
Ahhh yes now I recall.
AlwaysandEventuallyHannah
Oh god they're trying to make it "appeal to the kidz these days" aren't they?
gorillaClutch
jack black is the in game avatar for the "hot chick"....
PointlessAndSillyUsername
it's real cookie cutter stuff; black QB jock, bitchy popular girl, quiet nerdy guy and girl in detention etc
hibsta
Oh god, I hope it fails
AlwaysandEventuallyHannah
Dinnerbird
Juicytoast
But the nerd becomes the Rock, I think the jock becomes Kevin, the bitchy one becomes Jack, the the quite one becomes Keren.
Juicytoast
Also with that cast, and seeing the trailer. I'm not 100% sure if it's going to have alot of "kid appeal"
PointlessAndSillyUsername
yeah, like i said, cookie cutter, putting the weakling in the tough body etc is nothing new, not even remotely.
Aeturo
Which is the best part. Its all role reversal. I'm not gonna watch it in theatres but im gonna buy the DVD
PointlessAndSillyUsername
Best part? it's a common trope. Hell, my year 8 English teacher would've scolded using it. Almost as bad as "it was all a dream".
