It may not be a masterpiece or great, but it clearly strived to be glossy escapist fun and succeeded very well in that. 'Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle' turned to be much better and far more enjoyable than expected.

Saw it anyway being someone who wanted to see as many 2017 films as possible, who has seen their fair share and likes films intended to be escapist fun, who loves the Jumanji premise and who has fondness for the Robin Williams film. The advertising didn't have me completely sold, was worried as to whether it would be fun or turn into puerile immaturity and wasn't sure about the cast entirely.
