The original Jumanji movie was totally different than the second one, and si still worth watching. It starred the late Robin Williams. That, in itself, should be enough to convince you. There was even a nod to the first movie. Alan Parrish, the person mentioned in passing at Seaplane's place, was the main character of the first Jumanji.
I truly respect Dwayne Johnson in his movies. Sure, it's unlikely he'll ever go for an Academy Award, but he is always honest and hard working in what he is asked to do
The Jumanji revivals are a lot of fun and have big Indiana Jones/The Mummy energy, with a fun video game twist. Alan Parish is a callback to the 90's Jumanji. To think it all started off of a children's storybook, and now has in-jokes between movies. Wild.
I loved the first Jumanji as a little kid so much I was very skeptical of these...I couldn't have been more wrong, absolutely hilarious in their own new way. It is good to see the originals as well, so you have some context and appreciation of the stories. It's beautiful and rainy here in Detroit...
I love how Martha/Karen Gillan steals Star Lord's soundtrack and dance moves in the shed scene, while doing Nebula's voice and Nebula's social awkwardness. Possibly my favorite moment in the movie. 😀
I watched this during a holiday at home with the family. It was one of the best holiday decisions we ever made. Because it was a perfect movie to relax with.
The original Jumangi is great! Definitely recommend watching it. Robin Williams is amazing in it, as always. Besides the two very recent movies, there is also another sequel of sorts to the original Jumangi that came out in the early 2000s. It’s called Zathura. It’s the same premise, kids trapped playing a board game, but instead of a jungle, the board game Zathura is based in space. It has Kristin Stewart, pre-Twilight. Not as good as the original or the most recent Jumangi’s, but still a good movie.
The writer who wrote the Jumanji children book also wrote a sci-fi story like this called Zathura and it too was made into a movie years ago. But it's less well known. Still good though. Thanks, you're awesome.
It's great to see your channel growing as quickly as it has been. I always enjoy a new reactor who has a genuine reaction. Probably why channels like yours and Magy's are so well received compared to the rest of the Homies. Keep up the excellent video reactions...and oh yeah, have fun doing it :)
You don't need to see the old one to see this one. The old one had its critics but I thought it was good. The jungle came to the present day in that one and it had Robin Williams in it. I liked your reaction(as usual) on this one.
Absolutely you must watch the first one, with Robin Williams! Yep, that name right there is the only reason you should need to watch anything - Robin Williams!
First of the fall season weather has hit here. Colder with fall rains. The new ones are really fun. The older one was a bit more dark with humor. Still a classic.
Robin Williams is playing the jumanji board game, so it's completely different. The path on the gameboard is visible at least once in welcome to the jungle. Loved your look in this presentation.
I don't know how I missed this when you released it. I agree with those who suggest you watch the first Jumanji. It is significantly different from this movie, but enjoyable in its own right.
This is technically a sequel to the first one as they find Allen Parish's home while he was in jumanji and it also starts where the first one ends but you technically don't have to watch the first one to understand things
I'd say your correct that the 1st movie with Robbin Williams wasn't as well done, however, like any series, it sets a baseline of what happened and what to expect. For instance (spoiler alert) this one as you say is "in the jungle" which was unexpected when it came out since the first one came into the real world and made the immediate area similar to a jungle. BUT there are connections between the two. Later on in this movie you see a camp in the jungle with the name Alan Parrish. As a matter of fact the first movie sets up the whole reason it is the Jungle that this occurs in. The fore knowledge isn't that important to waste 2 hours of your life with, but it would be nice to know the reference going into it.
You should watch the original Jumanji and another Robin Williams movie called "The Fisher King". It is directed by Terry Gilliam who makes some of the deepest weird films you can find. It is basically Don Quixote set in 1990's NYC with Robin playing a homless man who thinks he is on a quest to find the holy grail. It is an amazing movie and a wonderful romance in the long run.
Hi blue! You should absolutly what the old jumanji, that is where it all started. You should see it for yourself atleast, if you like it you like it and if not then atleast you will know. But the old one is my favourite.
Hey Blue, nice to see you again, everything's fine here. Here in Rome the weather is very nice, finally some cold came but the sun still warms you up real nice :) You should definitely react to the original. I was a kid when it got out and it was awesome! Insane for the time. Love your content, wish you the best and may the wind be always at your back.
As a fan of the original I went in with _zero_ expectations and was absolutely _shocked_ by how good it was. Frankly I only watched it out of morbid curiosity. I'm glad I was wrong though. On another note, you should check out some movies by Mel Brooks. I suggest 'Robin Hood Men In Tights' or 'Space Ball's.
I thought you knew about Jumanji until you called the game an artifact. Anyway, on with your reaction and then I will check your video if you reacted to the original as well. Cheers
I really enjoyed this reaction good job Blue👍🏼👍this movie is good and The actors made great in this one. Did you smell what The bear is coocking??? (The Rock's famous frase) 😀
You have to react to 2 Korean films. “Train to Busan” and “Along with the Gods: The Two Worlds.” They’re fan favorites. Highly recommend it. Along with the gods is the 3rd highest grossing film in Korean cinema history. It’s a great movie.
Hello blue I finish watching your reaction to Jumanji Welcome to the Jungle I got to ask I hope you see your mangy in the next level because that one is much funnier trust me you loved it you'll watch it PS I love what you do with your hair every time you do a video looks very interesting and very nice and lovely.
"Older version but I think its not as popular". Hahaha, maybe not with the reaction audience, but I promise some millions of people were shit scared this would be an awful remake of a true classic just a couple of years after the death of Robin Williams. Pitch forks were ready to go. You 100% should watch that film. Even if it isn't a reaction, it is brilliant
@@TrixyBlue Yeah, I think this one is a fairly down the middle fun adventure romp. You seemed to think so as well, based on how you closed the video. It's fun, it's a good time, but it's not a particularly memorable watch. Nothing wrong with that, but that's what it is. I think the first is a bit more unique, a bit less of a by-the-numbers adventure. So it's definitely worth watching. I'm not sure you should expedite it or anything, but it should be on your list to watch eventually, at least.
I like these new movies, but they don't hold a candle to the original. Not sure where you heard that it's "not as popular" but should definitely question that source lol. Let me put it this way: The OG Jumanji stars Robin Williams.
