Jumanji is an adventure movie that first came out in 1995 and instantly became a family favorite.

Although not a complete loss, the sequel fails to capture the wonder and depth that made the original a timeless classic. In this article, I break down the good the bad and the ugly of the new trailer (you can watch it here).
