Guess it shows that all a movie really needs is star power.

The Rock.

Kevin Hart.

Jack Black.

Karen Gillan.

That means this movie appeals to bro dudes, black people (cause jack black ofc ;) ), metal heads and stoners (cause kevin ofc ;) ), and horny teens.

The Hobbit made it obvious that LotR sapped Peter Jackson of too much and he just couldn't pour the same amount of love into it and because he couldn't bring himself to care that much, neither could I.

I can't say I'm surprised. The moment I heard The Hobbit was split into three movies my interest in it died. Ok, not really the moment I heard it, as I didn't believe it at first. After confirming it, my interest died.

Jumanji is a semi-intelligent modernization of a """classic""" that is surprisingly funny.

The Hobbit was an obvious cash grab from the get go and word of mouth was deservedly trash.

It made about half and half so far from foreign and domestic, but it hasn't hit all foreign markets yet including China.

People actually watched the movie and turned out it was actually decent? Some of the best movies had shit trailers and some shit movies had amazing trailers.

The preview was enough for me to give it a shot since it was pretty funny. The very first second I heard about such a movie I was ready to absolutely despise it but the preview alone was enough for me to change my mind.

Hollywood should start to realize that if you put in a bunch of fun, charming characters in a fun adventure you're gonna make a lot of money. Moreso than having a cinematic universe.

I'll pretty much watch anything with Jack Black alone, and I basically like the rest of the cast. I'll wait til home release but i'm going to watch it. It's reviewing pretty well overall also, both critics and viewers.

Cinematic universes could be done well, but... Everyone but Marvel seems to forget the bunch of fun, charming characters in a fun adventure part.

For sure. Good individual movies are always more important.

Knowing Sony it won't surprise me that they try to launch a cinematic Jumanji universe and learn the wrong lessons from this. Just like they did with Spider-man.
