MODERATORS
A drop of water in a desert of cash-grab remakes that are significantly worse than the originals because everyone in production knows it's a cash grab and has no creative input other than pumping another one out.
The new Jumanji movies aren't really a remake, more a reimagining. Really pretty much the only thing kept from the original source material (book or movie) is "jungle game called Jumanji that becomes real".
They are good but not iconic like the OG
Yeah, but I often wonder if this has more to do with the original coming out during my childhood?
Nah, it's probably Robin Williams that makes the OG so good.
This is the answer right here.
Robin Williams was amazing. The range of emotions just can’t be topped. He was the most believable actor of all time.

There is only one rock movie, it just has a lot of breaks between arcs.

Hollywood is so pitifully lacking any shred of risk taking or creativity.
But the former wrestler The Rock is a totally versatile and talented actor tho! /s
People write roles for him to be that way
People aren’t paying for him to be someone else
Nothing about his acting ability

Watch Poor Things if you want risk taking and creativity. It was weird in the best of ways, imo.
The Lighthouse, Barbie, Oppenheimer, Infinity Pool, Beau is Afraid, the animated Spiderverse Movies, Jordan Peele's movies, Talk to Me, and definitely more I haven't seen.
There's risk taking and creativity, but they're much harder to find because they don't get the advertising budget of the standard boring action-adventure bull crap.

Dune 2 sticks out like a lighthouse in a sea of mediocrity. One of the greatest, and boldest movies I have ever seen.
You mean the third adaptation of a very popular book? Not exactly wildly original.
Still a great movie though.

He’s a melee fighter, range is not his strong suit
Yoooo this was good
Michael!
It's a multiverse.
It's not a very diverse multiverse.
Simultiverse
Shirtiverse. You can imagine the dimensions clashing crossover where they team up.
So you're The Rock in the grey-green t-shirt.
Ah you're The Rock in the short-sleeved grey-green shirt.
Let's swap tops to confuse our enemies!

What I love about The Rock: he's only got, like, three facial expressions and I don't even care - I know he's gonna make it worth it to watch him anyway! :D
Edit: a word
My favourite is Smoulder. Which is yours?
At least two of these are Jumanjis, right?
What are the other two?
I would guess the rundown and walking tall. Both are actually decent
One is probably the Disney River Boat movie.
Decently entertaining for what it was.
I think he wears a snappy hat and sharp vest in that one. Decent costuming, it's a Disney film after all. They put all thought into details, and let the plot follow predictable tropes.

TBF that's the only collared shirt that fits him.
Obviously top left is a different movie, he's got a different shirt on. The jury's out on the other three though...
Now I'm just imagining Dwayne Johnson asking if he can bring his own jungle jacket.
Jungle wardrobe full of remarkably similar outfits. Hundreds of them.
There's a lot of rocks in jungles
If anything it proves how overpaid he truly is.
Thumb, thumb, thumb and thumb. That’s all I got from these photos.
Top left stands out though
