What our customer's say!

"Sorry, Zathura; you just can't beat your maker.", In a nutshell, the movie is about a predated, enchanted board game (as proven through the prologue where the previous players frantically dispatch of it almost a hundred years before our stories actually starts) placed into the hands of Alan Perish, a thirteen year old growing up in New England in 1969. At first, to Alan and his friend Sarah, it seems ordinary, but with a roll of the dice, things change to the very worst. The game play itself, including bats, monkeys, lions and other deadly elements actually become real, animated... and lethal. Twenty-six years later, another pair of children get their hands on it, reactivating its dormant magic. Alan and Sarah return, and the four of them vow to put an end to all the irreparable harm this game has caused for the, the town and their very lives.

I remember when I was the second grade, (almost twelve years ago) when my mother was having her book club at our house and my father took my sister and I out to the movies. Honestly, I had no idea what Jumanji was (I saw like, a thirty second advertisement for the merchandised board game and maybe five seconds worth of the actual film) and had no idea what I was getting into.

Everyone in this section is dead right when they say this movie is dark on a massive scale. Sorry, but a happy family film doesn't contain the concepts of murder, mayhem and intensified chaos. Honestly, when I was at my local Metropolitan Theater when it first came out, I almost couldn't take it. I wanted to either hide underneath my foldout seat or even resort to the classic juvenile excuse told during the rising action or climax of a film of this nature, also known as, "I have to go to the bathroom!" Regardless of that, though, I just couldn't stop watching. Maybe it was the mystery of how in the world the characters were going to get out of this catastrophic situation. It could have been the special effects were revolutionary. After all, in the mid-nineties, creating one hundred computer-generated special effects was almost on heard of (Independence Day was mostly stop-motion animation and Jurassic Park basically relied on actual animatronics, both with very few CGI involved) and looked so real. But... the fact remained that this film was to be my obsession for about one quarter of my elementary schooled life.

This week (in the middle of my third year of college) I found my old VHS tape of this particular film while in pursuit of another (my major is film studies and production) and decided, meh... what the heck. A little nostalgia never hurt, right?

Instead of just watching it for pure enjoyment, I could now analyze it in a more critical and more understanding way. I thought it wasn't going to do much for me, but (dated family film, not much chance of finding any true thematic qualities) but nevertheless, that didn't appear to be the case. Unlike the other popular live-action family films within ten years of this film coming out (the Indian in the Cupboard, Homeward Bound, Honey I Shrunk the Kids), this one seemed to have deeper meaning in how events shape the lives of our youth. When Alan returns home, he see's the beautiful town he had once called his home (a more obvious example would be the statute of his family patron, once a shining beacon in the middle of a beautiful and lush green park, now pretty much a rusted graffiti tagged eyesore, centered on top of what has become something akin to scorched earth) now residing as a dying city reeking bankruptcy and homeless civilians. This clearly demonstrates what happens when one avoids responsibility, and how it affects not only you, but also the people directly involved with your life. And the fact that the game continues to cause additional mayhem and destruction demonstrates how continuously fleeing responsibility can only get worse and worse.

And for those who noticed--no... it's not coincidence that the protagonist's father, is the same actor as the homicidal hunter Van Pelt (who appears to be nothing short of an evil entity seemingly taken from Richard Connell's short story "The Most Dangerous Game"--wow... the irony!). The hunter is actually a living, breathing metaphor of how difficult it can be to face and overcome the harshest facts of life--aka, dealing with the strained relationship of Alan and his father. This sort of plays on the same technique the original play of Peter Pan demonstrated when Captain Hook was the same actor as Wendy, John and Michael's father.

And if in the event you're juggling between Jumanji and that "other" movie about an enchanted board game, "trust me"--leave Zathura on the shelf or in the bargain bin, where it belongs. For unlike its predecessor, Zathura (which I only watched because it debuted on my prepaid additional cable sometime back) has the flash, the action and special effects that made Jumanji what it was--but unlike the original, its main purpose seems to be to only entertain and has absolutely no thematic qualities to speak of. Furthermore, any morale that you see in it is pretty much shoved down your throat and leaves no room for any real progress in mental contemplation. Now, let's leave this nonsense behind and continue.

While there are some tiny flaws with the acting and screenplay--there really isn't much to dock this rating in the slightest. My only warning is, if you are going to watch with your family, make sure your child, grandchild, little brother/sister, whatever is "at least" in the upper elementary, as many scenes might prove to be too intense.

So let me close by saying "for those who wish to seek to find a way to leave your world behind" give this movie a go and remember what made family film so powerful just a decade before.



"A single jarring note", I love this movie, but it has one terrible flaw, and it saddened me greatly to hear it. When the grown boy is seeking the girl he once played with, he mumbles disparagingly that she is probably living in a trailer park.

And with that snobbish aside, from a person I formerly respected as a humanist, a million kids - who live in trailer parks or the equivalent - were ushered out of the fun.

It would be worth sending it to that company in Utah that edits out bad words and sex scenes, to get that cruel sentence removed.

"A voyage of surprising depth and symbolism that culminates in a boy's realization of the flaws of the human soul.", *may contain spoilers*
On the surface, Jumanji appears to be an actual child's game, meant for amusement purposes, with a surprising twist. Upon further examination, it becomes clear that Jumanji itself is NOT a game, but a metaphor for the difficulties our souls must face before we can confront our fears. At the beginning of the film, Alan Parish is burdened by his inability to confront his fears; a problem which may, in an almost Freudian manner, stem from a strained relationship with his own father. "Jumanji" is a physical representation of this burden, and since at the time he is unable to confront it, he is pulled into the jungle of his fears, unable to escape. He overcomes his flaws not only when he "beats the game", but, as we see thanks to both Van Pelt and Alan's father being played by the same actor, when he finally has the strength to confront his father. I did not care for the subplot involving jungle animals wreaking havoc on the city, but this is merely an unhelpful footnote in a powerful story of one boy's self-actualization.

"Ana Luiza Mansour", Lots of adventure and thrills... gripping till the end. Wonderful visual and sound effects.

"great movie", This is an awesome movie. Some parts are extremely funny. But it's mostly serious in a cool way. It's a very fun movie to see.

Read this reviews before You buy...

"Very enjoyable for me and my 9 and 6yo daughters!", I thought it was clever to have Hunter Van Pelt be played by the same guy who played his dad, seeing as how there was that same fear/disdain dynamic (until the end, where the walls between the two broke down)

"Movie is great, packaging not so good", The Jumanji movie is a great story for kids. My daughter (age 11) had seen it at school and wanted it for herself. This was the first movie we had ordered from Amazon and I was not happy with the way it arrived. The disc was bouncing around within the case and the case was kind of banged up. However, the movie was fine.

"Too dumb for adults, too scary for kids", This movie is too scary for kids...with all kinds of dark scary things manifesting from out of walls and sucking you in...and for adults too dumb. Perhaps the silliest thing is that Robin Williams' character has spent most of his life "in the game" and was living as a knife-wielding jungle-man...and then he decides to play again once he comes back...and what happened...just sits down with two kids, and a woman...that's it. Oh my God, what an idiot. I would get guns (rifles and shotguns), machetes, gear, etc...and when I started playing again I would be so so very much better prepared to deal with all the stuff that comes at you. Little kids might overlook this point and so might others, but you won't now that you've read this..

Don't watch this movie: duh.

"You did just see three monkeys go by on a motorcycle; right?", This movie was a fresh, original and entertaining show, you never know what will happen next! Great to see an original movie and not another same story/differnet actor spin off that has been the norm. lately.

Throw together a great storyline and actors like Robin Williams, and you get a movie that lived up to all the hype. Due to become a classic.

"In the jungle you must wait, untill the dice reads 5 or 8", I saw this movie for the first time when I was like 9 or 10. I was so into it. I went out and bought the game right after seeing it. It all starts out with a little boy "Alen" is having a tough time. He is poicked on at school, does not have any friends and his parents want him to go to a school in which he does not want to go. Then one day he goes to a place where there is a company doing construction. He hears drums playing. He finds a game called Jumanji. He runs home and hides it. Then his parents leave to do something and him and a girl start playing. Things start to happen as they do. Bugs start flying around and bats start flying. The game comes alive. Then the boy rools something and the game bord tells him "in the jungle you must wait until the dice reads 5 or 8. He is sucked into the game. The girl gets so affraid that she runs out of the house with bats chasing her. Like 20 years go by and a lady and her sisters 2 kids (I think it was her sister) move in. The kids find the game and start playing. One of them rolls a 5 or 8 and the man is set free. He has aged as the time has gone by. He ends up playing the game with them to finish it. But he needs to get the girl whom played with him all those years ago to play as well because it is her turn. She screams when he arrives to ask her and he tricks her into playing. They all play the game and alot of crazy exciting things happen. I can not tell you what happens because that would ruin it for you. Buy this movie. It is well written. Has good acting from people such as Robin Willams, Kirsten Dunst, and Bradley Pierce. It will make you laugh and suck you in just like the game did Alen.
