✔ Introduction
Hello Dear Friends, I hope you are doing fine and having a good time on bitlanders. I am here today with my another new blog with the title of "Movie Review - Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle" and it is a movie review of recently released Hollywood movie which is based on Chris McKenna story that he wrote for the film. As a child, I watched Jumanji more than 22 years ago and like many other kids, I liked it very much because of the film's unique story and visual effects. This new movie is a sequel to that initial movie which was released in 1995. This film is also an adventure movie with a touch of comedy as we saw in the first movie, however, I guess, it has more humor this time. This film was directed by Jake Kasdan who is an experienced film director and producer as well as a screenwriter. This movie is also a very entertaining movie as its first version was. Although we missed Robin Williams in this movie, however, other characters performed their characters very well and tried to compensate the gap created in the absence of Robin Williams. I hope you are going to like this movie as well because it has met the expectations and was liked by the movie lovers around the world.

Better yet, the main concept transforms from a board game come to life to a video game into which the viewer is transported. That’s a conceit that will appeal as much to cynical and game-centric teens as to their young siblings.
All ages will love the way the young actors playing the four principal characters — Alex Wolff (Young Spencer), Ser’Darius Blain (Young Fridge), Madison Iseman (Young Bethany) and Morgan Turner (Young Martha) — are humorously switched into their adult avatar characters once they’re sucked into the game.
