Still haven't seen it, but the consensus is good to great (depending on whether you think we don't get enough exploration of male mid life crises).

It's dramatically inert and visually repugnant (has that same nauseating digital look that all of Boyle's latter-day work does) and 90% of it is half-hearted callbacks to the original movie. Felt almost aggressively pointless to me

Either I missed Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle when I was setting up the poll or (more likely) it wasn't listed on Wiki yet. Either way, it sounds awful (and racist), but I have to admit that I kind of appreciate that it apparently starts out as a Breakfast Club ripoff before developing a needlessly complicated plot about body-swapping avatars.

Some of the reviewers giving extremely positive accounts of this travesty must have been paid off generously.
