Jumanji (1995)
When siblings Judy and Peter discover an enchanted board game that opens the door to a magical world, they unwittingly invite Alan -- an adult who's been trapped inside the game for 26 years -- into their living room. Alan's only hope for freedom is to finish the game, which proves risky as all three find themselves running from giant rhinoceroses, evil monkeys and other terrifying creatures.

I really liked it.I have seen it 4-5 times.Really smart script and Robin Williams so funny.All the challenges and the mystery....Such a nice film...Too bad that Robin Williams couldn't play in the second.I don't like Dwayne Johnson..He is not an actor...Or Jack Black....So cold.Why hollywood makes stupid comedies with stupid actors??Where are the good comedies like death becomes her, jumanji or bridget jones??Not all of us like avengers or xmen.
Jumanji looked like a really cool movie when I saw the trailer, but while there were some cool scenes like the man-eating plant, there is no need for anyone to play this game. There's no reward or explanation of how the game was made and how many have been made. Nor do we see the world inside the game when the boy gets sucked in before being played by Robin Williams. He also didn't tell anyone what the world of Jumanji is like for over 30 years. Cool idea, not executed properly.
This is an entertainment movie that has some wonderful imagination stuff. What can a board of game do to us?? This movie gives an answer- huhhh. Good watch and entertainment.
I had to watch this before seeing the new film because well, it is the original. And the special effects hold up remarkably well except for a handful of things like the monkeys. The story is well told and compelling and has characters which are well developed and you end up caring about despite their flaws. Overall I can see why this film is so beloved and remembered. Final score for this movie is a very, very solid eight out of ten.
