Without the Board Game, Is the New Jumanji Film Actually a Reboot?
For those who don't remember Jumanji (1995), the film centered around of a group of people stuck together, due to a magical board game requiring them to complete the game or face a lifetime stuck in a dystopian world full of mischievous and dangerous animals running a muck. The original Jumanji fit perfectly in the time it debuted, as board games were all the rage at the time. However, the newest installment in the Jumanji franchise, Jumanji 2 might not be as well received with its focal points centered around a board game. In today's entertainment industry, board games aren't quite as popular as they were a couple decades ago - so when it comes to news of a Jumanji sequel being in the works, that may worry fans of the classic Jumanji film.
