It's a sequel! That means bigger explosions, more exotic settings, a new powerful bad guy...et cetera. Jumanji: The Next Level has all of that, leading movie archeologists in the fut…
File this one under "No one else was thinking about it." I imagine the Sam Raimi, Gore Verbinski, and Tim Burton of the mid-1990s era would have had a lot of fun making a kind of …
