But make a lot of money probably. Everything the Rock's johnson touches turns to gold these days.

Whatever you are, be a good one.

Except Baywatch.





And maybe this too.

I doubt it will do that well. It's out at around the same time as the new Star Wars movie which will probably be too tough of competition for it. Also I don't see critics liking this. I refuse to even see it. It just looks dumb and none of the actors in it have the charisma of Robin Williams. In fact most everyone seems to be acting in an over the top way that I find annoying. Plus the whole premise of it being a video game is dumb cause there's nothing mystical or old about a Video Game. I could buy some magician hundreds of years ago creating a board game. But a Video Game? Yeah. That's just dumb.

Well, whaddya know. The early reactions were mostly positive and now it’s getting solid (good actually) reviews from critics. A video game movie done right? Hmm.

No, it doesn’t look like it has the maturity and wonder of the old one, but, apparently it succeeds as a comedy adventure (as fond as I am of the original though, I dare to say nostalgia makes it a better movie than it really is). And yeah, while I was surprisingly amused by the trailer, I too expected this to get ripped apart by critics. But lo and behold the opposite seems to be happening! A few reviews are on the more negative side, yes, however for the most part this movie is being well-received and is so far much better rated than the Williams classic. That’s funny yet cool.

Me too, I'm never going to watch it, let alone support it by paying admission at the local cinema.

As far as I'm concerned, the only "Jumanji" (1995) that ever existed is the one with Robin Williams. This one never happened, even if it is a sequel.

I suppose I just don't like the fact that they thought about it being a possible remake/reboot shortly after Williams passed away.

But, it is doing well at the Box Office, so they must have done something right.
