Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle [Includes Digital Copy] [DVD] [2017]

This is a public review more for the listing on their site Best Buy has, not the movie as everyone can tell from many positives that the movie is great. My problem is Best Buy has it very clearly listed as Blu-Ray/DVD which anyone who purchases movies frequently knows means there is a Blu-Ray disc and a DVD copy of the movie. However this is not the case. I only purchase combo sets, so instead of getting say the 4K edition and a DVD separately, I selected the combo of this, the title and description clearly saying Blu-Ray/DVD but I received it and apparently this movie doesn't even come in a combo set. When I called to report this, Best Buy phone support were extremely lacking, informing me I could return it or exchange it, that the Blu-Ray/DVD on the description meant and I quote them "you will get either a Blu-Ray or a DVD" I review movies for a living, always purchase both editions to review the sound, picture, etc for both versions, so I have seen many many listings with the words Blu-Ray/DVD and never in over ten years of doing this has that meant you "seemingly randomly" will get one or the other if you purchase that. I wanted to warn others who may get confused by the description that this is only the Blu-Ray version of the movie, a great movie sure, but don't think you are getting both versions. Hopefully this saves some trouble for others. I still feel Best Buy should make good and send me the DVD since I purchased in good faith their description was accurate, but again, at least I can review and report this so others will be aware.

Now I don't know about you, But "THE ROCK" Dwayne Johnson, and Kevin Hart, are two wonderful actors, This is not the first movie with both actors in it, If you get a chance check out Central Intelligence, But the movie was wonderful, CGI on point, Delivered lines, Action and adventure. Its about some kids that get detention, form school and are told, to clean an old room, in the school by removing Staples from magazines, when they find Jumanji, which has transformed itself, to match the times, into a video gaming system. As the Students choose there characters, They begin to Disintegrate into the game. From there on in, you will have a laugh out loud time, **warning** if eating popcorn, watch out for choking hazards from the jokes. This was a fantastic movie.

A cute romp around the game, this time with Dwayne Johnson (The Rock), Kevin Hart, Jack Black and Karen Gillam (Doctor Who's Amy Pond). Take 4 teens from all walks of life, insert them into the Jumanji game, now they are adults running from everything they can just to finish the game and go back to reality. Its actually a funny movie, good plot, these kids learn to adapt and become friends...oops did I spoil it for you... Anyway, its nothing like the Robin William version (my favorite), but take stars of now and throw them into the same concept: finish the game to go back home... My husband even watched it again, as he did like the movie.

i had wanted to see this movie for some time and when I got my new 4K TV and 4K DVD player, this is one of the first movies I bought. I like about anything Dwayne Johnson does and this one is no exception. But, the other stars of this movie were well cast, too. There's a lot of action and it's a new take on the original Jumanji movie. Seeing it in 4K ultra HD was really cool. The picture had such fantastic color and depth and detail. And the audio was a cut above most others, too. I'd recommend this movie to anyone who likes a little fantasy and lots of action, and I'd highly recommend you see it in 4K.

Unlike the original, this movie transports you into the world of Jumangi. The acting is GREAT, the scenery is beautiful. From the Breakfast Club in detention to their avatars in the jungle, the story is nothing short of brilliant. The Rock showing his insecurities as a nerd turned macho-man and Jack Black channeling a teenage girl is just fantastic. Equally impressive is Karen Gillian, a hard bodied, sultry young lady, unsure of how easily she can lord over any man; quite different from her time on the Tardis. Kevin Hart is hilarious and the action comes at you with both barrels! You can't help but laugh and even shed a tear. Get a copy today and enjoy it anytime, over and over.

While this technically was a sequel, it was done without any of the original cast members. It also was more a rehashing of the same story rather than feeling like a continuation of the original story. There is also a lot more comedic relief, and way more sexual innuendo than some might consider appropriate for younger kids. That along with more violence makes it deserving of the PG-13 rating, for this version. My kids really liked it, but I don't recall if they ever saw the original one. I bought this along with the original Jumanji, so we could watch them both together.

I grew up on Robin Williams and have always "liked" Jumanji. It's good and had some laughs and the effects were ahead of it's time in the 90s. But I've always just kind of liked it. I really had no interest in the sequel and wasn't sure how the story would work(especially without Williams) but they did a great job tying it to the original while surpassing it's story. Of course Dwayne Johnson is great and Kevin Hart is funny, but Karen Gillan steals her scenes and Jack Black should've gotten an Oscar for his performance. I know that's a stretch, but while watching this movie you believe he's a 16 year old girl trapped in a man's body. He nailed it!

Awesome and Fun action adventure film for the whole family.Four high-school kids discover an old video game console with a game they've never heard of, Jumanji. They are immediately drawn into the game's jungle setting, literally becoming the avatars they chose: gamer Spencer becomes a brawny adventurer (Dwayne Johnson); football jock Fridge loses (in his words) "the top two feet of his body" and becomes an Einstein (Kevin Hart); popular girl Bethany becomes a middle-aged male professor (Jack Black); and wallflower Martha becomes a badass warrior (Karen Gillan). What they discover is that you don't just play Jumanji--you must survive it.
