A magical board game unleashes a world of adventure on siblings Peter and Judy Shepherd. While exploring an old mansion, the youngsters find a curious, jungle-themed game called Jumanji in the attic. When they start playing, they free Alan Parrish, who's been stuck in the game's inner world for decades. If they win Jumanji, the kids can free Alan for good, but that means braving giant bugs, ill-mannered monkeys and even stampeding rhinos!

Critics Consensus

A feast for the eyes with a somewhat malnourished plot, Jumanji is an underachieving adventure that still offers a decent amount of fun for the whole family.

4/5

This is an entertainment in the broad Hollywood tradition of Capra and Spielberg, with a boisterous touch of Peter Pan in that the stern father figure and the scary villain are both played by the same actor.

The technology both overwhelms the human cast and stalls the narrative drive. Even Williams's manic energy finally flags.

The humans are wooden, the computer-animals have that floating, jerky gait of animated fauna.

4.5/5

A delightful family adventure that isn't afraid to get a little dark (or scary!) for its child audience.

Thirty years later, Jumanji still holds up as a thrilling blend of practical ingenuity, digital innovation, and heartfelt adventure.

Time has softened it, especially given the passing of star Robin Williams, and it's an enjoyable watch.

Jumanji (1995) I know this is the first film in the franchise and all, but it's quite boring and full of strange CGI. To sum it up, it's a complete mess.

Just like with Coca-Cola, you shouldn't really mess around with an original classic.

Good movie with a unique premise. Although, to be fair, a lot of movies involve games interacting with people, take Pixels or A Minecraft Movie, but those are a lot newer.
