Het sociale media-embargo voor Jumanji: Welcome to The Jungle is gepasseerd en dat betekent dat de eerste reacties binnenlopen op Twitter. De reboot/sequel van Jake Kasdan lijkt vriend en vijand te verbazen en is volgens de meeste kijkers puur familieplezier.

De nieuwe invalshoek van het bordspel levert volgens vele een frisse actiekomedie op.

I can now say that the biggest surprise of the holiday season is #Jumanji. It's super entertaining & very funny w/ terrific cast chemistry (especially b/t @TheRock & @KevinHart4real). Video game fans will dig it even more. See it w/ the whole family pic.twitter.com/e6FOPwjsB5

Was expecting the worst but have to admit the new #JUMANJI movie is a lot of fun. I’d even say it is one of the best “video game movies” ever made, maybe under only King of Kong, Scott Pilgrim, Edge of Tomorrow & Wreck It Ralph (none of which are adaptations).

Dwayne Johnson, Jack Black, Kevin Hart en Karen Gillan blijken goed in hun vel te zitten als tieners die in het lichaam van hun avatar terechtkomen.

got to see #Jumanji and it is fun as heck! @TheRock totally steals the show, but everyone gets a chance to shine.

There’s a lot of laughs and heart in #Jumanji. Cast has some pretty special chemistry and the game angle totally works. Props to @TheRock @KevinHart4real @karengillan and Jack Black for playing kids so well!

Happy to say that I was pleasantly surprised by Jumanji: Welcome To The Jungle. It's fun and funny in equal measure, and makes smart use of its great stars. Not much of a universe-builder for a fantasy sequel, but definitely a reinvention that works. pic.twitter.com/2I0vPg4zt3

Tenslotte knipoogt de film ook naar de originele Jumanji met Robin Williams, zonder zich te verliezen in nostalgie.

The new #Jumanji is a ton of fun and succeeds by not trying to make a film even remotely similar to the original. It's vindicated of comparisons, while also giving a nice nod or two to Robin Williams. #WelcomeToTheJunket pic.twitter.com/EsPGoTAM0Z

#Jumanji was a ton of fun. Great nods to the original. Jack Black steals it. @TheRock and @KevinHart4real need to keep working together.

And YO I love @karengillan!
