What's in it for the Kids?
If your kid enjoyed the first reboot movie, they're sure to like the players facing off against the next level of the semi-cursed video game. All of the old characters are there, along with some new ones, and the same funny running jokes as before. It's fast paced and fun with a lot of action.
What's in it for the Adults?
In addition to the talents of the original cast, adults can take comfort in familiar faces from their childhood in the forms of Danny DeVito (playing a grandpa) and his fellow senior citizen friend Danny Glover who enter the game by accident while the teens need to navigate Jumanji alongside a pair who aren't well versed in video games or surviving the game.
Best Parts of the Movie
Funny video-game sized action with a fantastic cast, bound to keep you laughing all the way through. The addition of Awkwafina to the movie was an excellent fit.

Worst Parts of the Movie
If you're going in and looking for a completely different story, you are going to be disappointed. The same goes if you haven't seen the original film because you are going to miss some of the inside jokes and the film won't be as enjoyable. For a good portion Dwayne Johnson puts on a fake accent that doesn't work, but you can tell it was the best he could do. As far as sequels go, this one is solid, but it's still not as good as the original reboot.
Parental Warning
There are some adult jokes and language in this movie, along with some video game style Jumanji violence. If you don't think your kid can take that, don't take them to this movie.
Overall Rating
A fun and wild ride I would rate this movie a 3.5/5, the kids really liked it and I would watch it again with the kids if they wanted to, but probably not multiple times like I would with the original Jumanji reboot.
