It
begins and sets a great hype to expect something adventurous and a scary
thriller. The movie has its moments that’s why I completed watching it. If it
wasn’t for robin Williams and witty puns through the movie I would have never enjoyed
it. A definite treat because we do not know what to expect.
Although
I can’t compare Jumanji with any movie I have seen. Its unique in its own way
there might be sequels to this instalment or movie makers might make movies
based on this concept. In that case am thankful to be watching something first
of its kind.
A
scene set in 1869 where two kids try to get rid of the box named Jumanji and
they also say god have mercy on the soul who finds the box. This hype in the
beginning astonishes you and then the next scene is after 100 years in 1969.
Where a kid named Alan Parish finds the game and gets sucked into it, now this
was a great introduction. This lets you know that you are in for a treat. The
rest of the movie revolves around finishing the game.
The
movie creates a stage to expect something scary, as Alan parish (Robin
Williams) explains to the kid what to be afraid of. in the remainder of the
movie that spark is lost. Although the one liners are done well. The comic
scenes are brilliant, which I think definitely kept the movie alive. Though I
did not expect it to be humorous but in the end those were the highlights of
the movie. Definitely great acting performance from everyone, major stars would
be Robin Williams & Kirsten Dunst. The visual effects by Joe Johnston is
very convincing, although not up to mark as 1993’s Jurassic Park. But it’s
still a job well done, especially the introduction of the lion and the stampede
scene of all the animals which causes havoc in the town.
I
would definitely recommend this movie to all movie-goers. Although this movie
will be more enjoyed with kids and the young teens rather than the adults.
