Second trailer released for upcoming ‘Jumanji’ film

A second trailer was released late last week for "Jumanji" and, though it admittedly looks a little dumb, it could be a good movie for the whole family.

It seems that 2017 has been another year of Hollywood remakes, but given the quality of some of the films that have come out, we’re not necessarily sure that’s a bad thing.

While box office numbers have been down, there has been some positive remake news, such as “It” becoming one of the top-grossing horror films ever.

Another remake set for release later this year, “Jumanji,” will be looking to garner the same success and not go the way of box office bummers, such as “Baywatch.”

A second trailer was released late last week for “Jumanji” and, though it admittedly looks a little dumb, it could be a good movie for the whole family to take in over the holidays.

It looks like the cast — Dwayne Johnson, Kevin Hart, Karen Gillan and Jack Black — have some good chemistry and it may be a good mix of humor and action.

There are also some modern touches to film that didn’t appear in the original 1995 film, such as bad guys on motorcycles with machine guns, and, of course, cell phones.

You can check out “Jumanji” for yourself when it is released Dec. 20.

At first I thought, who the heck would remake Jumanji? At least they didn't try to remake it. I'm taking it as this is all about entertaining kids; light hearted and fun. I guess I'll take my kid to see it and then go see Star Wars to wash it away.

Any questions as to why Hollywood is on the rocks. Who thought this was a good idea?
