NGL the new Jumanji movies are way better than they have any right to be.

A drop of water in a desert of cash-grab remakes that are significantly worse than the originals because everyone in production knows it's a cash grab and has no creative input other than pumping another one out.

The new Jumanji movies aren't really a remake, more a reimagining. Really pretty much the only thing kept from the original source material (book or movie) is "jungle game called Jumanji that becomes real".

They are good but not iconic like the OG

[–] Rooskie91@discuss.online 10 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Yeah, but I often wonder if this has more to do with the original coming out during my childhood?

Nah, it's probably Robin Williams that makes the OG so good.

This is the answer right here.

Robin Williams was amazing. The range of emotions just can’t be topped. He was the most believable actor of all time.

I do think Robin Williams carries a lot of weight for that movie...but most is the rose-tinted nostalgia goggles. Not saying it was a bad movie by any means.

New ones are Johnson/Hart buddy duo with Jack Black sprinkled on top. That's quite a team and it's really hard to compare to just Robin.
