      A drop of water in a desert of cash-grab remakes that are significantly worse than the originals because everyone in production knows it’s a cash grab and has no creative input other than pumping another one out.

        The new Jumanji movies aren’t really a remake, more a reimagining. Really pretty much the only thing kept from the original source material (book or movie) is “jungle game called Jumanji that becomes real”.

        Yeah, but I often wonder if this has more to do with the original coming out during my childhood?

        Nah, it’s probably Robin Williams that makes the OG so good.

          This is the answer right here.

          Robin Williams was amazing. The range of emotions just can’t be topped. He was the most believable actor of all time.
