ClassyWas Excellent, smart action film.

Kailansorac Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.

Sammy-Jo Cervantes There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

Cassandra Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

coolantic Can't believe it's more han 20 years since I saw this. I'd taken my wife and daughter to the local multi to see Sense and Sensibility ( Bleaghh!). Jumanji was about to start on another screen and I was intrigued by the blurb so rather than go back home I purchased a ticket. So glad I did. I was treated to a hugely entertaining evening of good, old-fashioned story-telling . Basically, the story, which starts in the 1960s, is about Alan, a lonely, ostracised boy who finds an old jungle-themed board game. He plays it at home with his one friend Sarah, a local neighbourhood girl. However, little do they know that the game is magically interactive. Each throw of the dice has a consequence, one of which is that Alan is banished to the jungle until someone throws a 5 or 8. But, as he is sucked into the playboard, his companion flees in terror leaving him stranded for 26 years. Moving forward to the present day, the semi-derelict house is occupied by two orphaned children and their aunt. Naturally the kids find the game and, by playng release the now-adult Alan. He is overjoyed, but then realises that the game must be completed if everything is to return to normal. And the first thing he has to do is to coax Sarah, regarded as the local mad woman, to come back and take her turn. Then follows a series of special-effects driven wild adventures, involving monkeys, bats, lions, a stampede, quicksand, killer vines, giant spiders, floods and a big-game hunter who's prey is - Alan. Needless to say, it all ends well and Alan and girlfriend are returned to their sixties childhood. Now, I have never been a fan of Robin Williams. I think he was far too self-indulgent. But for once, he plays it straight. No impro characters or funny voices. His performance has, at times, a wonderful pathos. Especially when he realises his parents had died of broken-hearts while he was missing. In fact,the film has more than a touch of It's A Wonderful Life about it,in that Alan is ultimately able to rectify and adjust certain things once equilbrium is restored. Definitely one worth watching.

MichaelMRamey I re-watched this film recently and it is much better than I remember. It's a great family adventure film. The cast is amazing with Robin Williams, Bonnie Hunt, David Alan Greer and a young Kirsten Dunst. The graphics are actually pretty decent considering this game out in the mid-90s.

shubhamsrivastavalu 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.

jetro-flores This is the kind of movie that i would still like to watch even after 23 years, its unpredictable , you'll never know what to expect, ending was not what i expected it could have been a bit more exciting , but overall still a classic
