Mini Review - Jumanji

Soon, we’ll be looking at the movie I actually want to cover: Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle but for the sake of completion, we’ll look at the original first. Based on the novel by Chris Van Allsberg, the movie was released in 1995 and was successful at the box office, earning $262m on its $65m budget. It’s also received some acclaim, being rated number 48 on Channel 4’s top family movies in 2005, but it’s reception on Rotten Tomatoes is a more mixed 53% with an average score of 5.7/10, audiences rated it a 62% with an average 3.2/5
