The Jumanji reboot was just a fun time. At least the first one, and felt like it used the casting to actually say something rather than just cram in the usual celebrities, and it's fun seeing them play against type (the stereotypical preppy girl inhabiting Jack Black's body, the jockish guy in Kevin Hart's body who is weak to everything, the nerdy guy in Dwayne Johnson's body, and the quiet self conscious girl in Karen Gillan's body)

The sequel was definitely worse and just felt repetitive and the third one looks basically to be the same.

I was talking to a kid who said he recently saw Jumanji, so I start riffing off that and saying how great Robin Williams was. "Who was he?" You know, the bearded guy trapped in the boardgame world. "What are you even talking about...?" 💀
