Rewrite this opinion on the movie Jumanji as if a 10-year-old was rewriting it for a school paper and does not want to include any of the more terrifying comments from it.

I went into this childhood favourite fully expecting it to not have aged particularly well, but it surprisingly did. CGI animals aside, it has a great 90's aesthetic reminiscent of films like Home Alone, a great score and amazing performances by most of the cast, especially the main man Robin Williams. What surprised me the most however, is how surprisingly terrifying it is, especially compared to the newer "sequels" (which are decent films but hold no candle to the original).

What separates the newer films from the original?

My biggest gripe with the newer films is that they seem relatively inconsequential to the real world as opposed to the original. In the 95' film with every turn the players risk destruction, their lives, everything basically. There are real stakes and great tension since you know that by rolling the dice, they put themselves and the others in further danger. Their house gets absolutely destroyed, overgrown with vegetation and killer plants and hell, the whole town becomes a mess due to the wild animals and gigantic mosquitos sending people to the hospital.

The story feels incredibly personal because every character has their baggage, Bonnie Hunt treated as a crazy person for 26 years and having PTSD to the day they first played the game, the kids having their parents die 6 months earlier and Robin Williams obviously disappearing into the jungle as a kid and having to survive by himself for 26 years. The villain being played by Alan's father is also genius, since he is a person he seems to fear a lot before realizing he has to confront him as he confronted all of his fears by the end of the film.

Maybe I'm overthinking it but imo it's one of the best and most terrifying family adventure films out there.

Jumanji is a movie that you can watch again and again and you will always like it. The way it looks is like other movies that were made in the 1990s, like Home Alone. There's great music in it and the actors all do a great job, especially the lead actor whose name is Robin Williams. In some ways, though, the movie can be a bit scary.

Newer films are different from the older films, like Jumanji. It seems like, in the newer films, the people in them are not affected by real-world problems. In the film from 1995, there are risks that the characters take that could affect their lives and everything else. The characters seem to worry more because they are facing dangers. Their house is not doing well. Same for the whole town. All because of the wild animals.

Sometimes it feels like the story is happening to me when I watch the film. Bonnie Hunt is treated in not a very nice way for a long time, like 26 years, and she is really affected by playing the game. The kids are not with their parents and Robin Williams kind of grows up in the jungle by himself for 26 years. There's a bad guy in the film who is played by Alan's father. He is a person that seems to be afraid a lot. But he has to face his fears in the end.

I think that maybe I'm thinking about this movie too much. It's still one of the best and kinda scary family adventure films out there though.
