I'm not sure what I'm seeing here, but for sure, it's not the movie.
I wouldn't want to pay for streaming that, one way or the other.

Is the desire to read another persons review of the movie legitimate,
for this naive word processor who likes doing photos?
I could comment on the movie trailer, seeing it a few times,
and seeing the original movie twice.
I like the change of characters from the original,
and that's not about the actors,
but the children becoming action movie stereotypes in Jumanji.
The stereotype of using "Welcome to the Jungle", the Guns'n'Roses song title,
is too stereotypical for me, and you don't hear the song in the trailer.
It would be interesting to hear what an L.A. studio band could do with it.
Oddly enough, with the accent on owning a Las Vegas casino with long odds,
I can hear Wayne Newton doing a more latin percussion version,
being a more insinuating singer who allows more personal, listener involvement,
than Axl Rose, who is mostly shouting and screaming about it.
There are some pains I don't want to share.

And Jack Black! Oh yeah, his King Kong is one of my favorite all-time movies,
a bigger upgrade than having The Rock play against his stereotype.
Here in the Niagara Penisula, its being billed as The Rock with the comedians' name,
as the two stars, a little confusing for me, not even remembering this comedians' name,
or ever seeing him before.

Without seeing the movie, I'm thinking Jumanji could be a short-cut to the center of the earth,
but I'll have to wait to see if they get there.
Too bad, with this plot twist about assuming action movie personas,
because when they get back to ordinary reality, they'll just be their ordinary selves.
Too bad they didn't have a guitar player travel with them, yeah... becoming Jimi Hendrix,
when his ancestors were Nubians with a Cherokee grandmother.
Experience that, you low-budget music royalty payers!

What I'm saying about Wayne Newton was inspired by a recent movie,
"Who's Your Daddy", where he does an update on the title song,
if you remember it, "what's your name, who's your daddy, is he rich like me".
You can see him and the cast doing the song at the end, as the credits start.
Considering he's in the movie, and I was really diggin'it, as Jimi would say,
I'm totally surprised I didn't glom onto the fact it was Wayne singing.
And I go back with him to the Buffalo teen talent show, The Uncle Jerry Show,
when he was fifteen, singing Dankashane, and for sure I'm miss-spelling that.
yeah... you can tell my why it's the time of the season... for loving.
