I chose this film to start my diary career. It can be said that the 1995 "Jumanji" is a childhood memory of many people, including myself, so I "speaking of my will".

1. Lead

The first edition of "Jumanji" in 1995 must be a childhood memory of many people.

Two years ago, Hollywood restarted this IP and contributed a fantasy adventure comedy with a high degree of "popcorn deliciousness" - "Jumanji: Battle of the Jungle", which won 962 million worldwide at a cost of 90 million US dollars. U.S. box office results.

The first part is still impressive, because it is probably because I watched it with my ex-girlfriend, and my mood is different, and it is a restart work after many years, so I still have feelings.

The sequel "Jumanji 2: Battle for the Peak" released in 2019 started another step after the series restart - "expanding the new continent".

Second, the plot

"Jumanji 2: Battle for the Peak" is another unusual path. The timeline of the story takes place a few years after the last one, when the four friends in the game all became college students. Spencer entered the now completely deranged game world and disappeared. In order to find him, the brave team of those years had to enter the game again and start an adventure.
Although the characters in the game are still the same as the previous one, the people who start a new adventure have been exchanged. The biggest contrast is none other than that the two grandfathers have become the main force of fighting monsters in this more dangerous adventure. Feng shui turns, this time, Spencer's grandfather Eddie turned into "Dr. Yong Shi", while grandfather's friend Milo turned into a fast-moving "zoological linguist", and the strong Fridge became middle-aged and blessed The "Cartographer", only Martha is still the "Tekken Ruby". The characters are reshuffled, and everyone faces new challenges.
The three major levels in the sequel, "Desert Survival", "Jungle Escape", and "Cold Crossing" are more open and grand than the previous one, and the rhythm is more compact. Basically each level will quickly enter the scene, and then dedicate a hearty chase or fight. The team behind the design of these levels is the art director who has previously participated in the "Aquaman" and "Fast and Furious" series. Their rich imagination gives the scenes in these games an immersive and shocking feeling.
Personally, I was pleasantly surprised by the large numbers of animals such as mandrills, ostriches, pythons, hyenas, etc. This setting is obviously intended to pay tribute to the old version of "Jumanji" in 1995. After the presentation of the new CG technology, these lifelike animals bring not only a sense of fear that matches the plot, but also the fullness of familiar memories. Full of emotion.
The biggest difference between "Jumanji 2" and the previous game is the addition of a "multi-round role repositioning" link. At the beginning, everyone was randomly assigned to a different character due to the game glitch, and everyone had to face the problem of "incompatibility" with the character. Especially the two elderly people who are completely out of the situation and have memory loss, often show a state of "???", which makes people support their foreheads. Dwayne Johnson's body is a grumpy and irritable old man, who is often noisy with friends who are good-natured but slow to speak, creating a large number of laughter brought by contrast. What's more enjoyable is that on top of this basic setting, there are two "mysterious lakes" in the game world that allow players to switch roles. This gives each actor the opportunity to experience multiple roles in the second half of the film, and the dramatic effects brought about by several rounds of transformations are also quite interesting.
If the last "Jumanji" was about the growth and friendship of high school students, this one is more tender. For example, Grandpa Eddie, who hates getting old but refuses to accept the old, is frail and has memory loss, but after experiencing two game characters in the game, he returned to the real world, but he "put it down". Whether it was Milo's departure without saying goodbye or his own gradual aging, it is no longer a regret.
In fact, even if the characters in the film are in the game world, they still have a strong sense of dialogue with reality. Through the rotation of different game characters, they achieve self-growth, mutual reconciliation and emotional connection.

3. Slots

1. First of all, congratulations to Daoshi Johnson for his 2019 foreign language film "God of Bad Films" title.
2. The dog's tail continues the mink's work. The most lazy script I've seen recently, forcibly breaking up, forcing melancholy head iron into the game, forcibly killing teammates in all kinds of deaths just to save everyone's life, forcing magical water everywhere, and a place to close the horse Why? There are so many levels; the point of laughter still comes from the gender identity swap and the black accent, but there is too much nonsense, full of boring running accounts; although a slightly touching little burden is buried, the whole still makes people yawn again and again. , being a bit boring as a popcorn movie.
3. Asians are once again stereotyped, thieves, hunchbacks, shrugs and necks, do you want the Asian market?
4. Ordinary to hard praise can not be praised.

Fourth, feel

At present, we are in a critical period of fighting against the epidemic. I hope that the motherland and people will win an early victory just like in the game of the brave.
