    So we seen this yet or what?

    I thought it was frickin awesome

    57% critic rating vs 86% audience rating on rotten tonatoes as of today.

    So another case of critics thinking themselves cool to rag on a particular pop culture icon

    Some of those critics reviews are just downright perplexing.

    The Force Awakens was a little too close to New Hope, Last Jedi had that middle filler part on the Casino planet that was a waste

    But this one had none of that, an action packed blast from start to finish, and it was its own movie. Easily the best of the three IMO

    Only reason I wont watch 2 and 3 is because of Kevin Hart. Annoying as fuck that guy.

    The little black guy?
    But he's the funniest of the lot. He made the 2nd jumangi for me I could not stop laughing at him even when he was being serious I was laughing at him still.

    Ugh, if having a little panic attack at every darn thing is funny, then yeah, sure

    I don't think I've seen him in anything else but I've been told he always acts the same so yeah it probably would be annoying. I'm generally not into these types of comedies especially Jack Black so I went it with heaps of sceptics and pre concentrated hate but it was quickly washed away. I think it could have been its own stand alone film without the Jumangi aspect to it, as I think it kind of made a mockery to the original Jumangi.

    I feel the same way. I became done with Star Wars after ep. 7. Originally I was somewhat happy that Disney was doing to take control of the Star Wars franchise. But, like the Phantom Menace, they let me down.

    Wish I never saw it
    If someone in real life asks me if I saw it,
    I will lie, and say no I haven't saw it.

    If someone gets me the blu ray as a gift next year,I will grab my hand saw and I will saw it

    They snuck in a wesbian pash near the end

    Blonde resistance commander and what looks to be her fighter pilot lady friend

    Near the end of the movie, in the background for a whole half second.


    Cut from screening in the UAE apparently, because if they see two women kissing, their society will fall apart

    Haven't seen 9 yet...

    So... I thought Jumanji 2 was new, but now there's a 3rd one already? I watched 2 and thought it was entertaining enough, which doesn't mean I would recommend it to anyone except kids, but that's because I didn't have high expectations. I of course was high when watching it, as it is such a comedy.

    I noticed that that criticism could have been projected on A new hope just as well, which led me to the conclusion its only an issue in the latest movies for certain people because they're overly focussed and concerned about the matter. I'm sure there was some old fart in the 70s who was at odds with Leias emancipated behavior :D
