Today involved a trip to the movies. My son met up with an old school friend and watched Jumanji, the next level. Which left my wife and I with the opportunity to leave my daughter at home and watch a film together. And of all the films available until we had to collect my so, there was only one we both were happy to watch, that being Jumanji. And on hearing this, my daughter decided to tag along as well. A quick drive to Ipswich and we parked and watched it. Ipswich has changed a bit since we were both in the town centre in daylight. My wife used to work there before she was effectively sacked for daring to fall pregnant. And a good friend used to live there as well. But that is a tale for another time, possibly.
Jumanji was good. Not as enjoyable as the remake, but close. The development of the characters continued, not as much as in the remake, but it continued, but overall, it is an action film, and an enjoyable one. Good special effects, a decent plot without too many plot holes and an enjoyable story with likeable characters. My wife and I disagree about how it compares with the original film, but as I found out on taking a quiz to see who we should vote for, that is not the only thing we disagree on!
