Jul 31, 2019
This movie was pleasantly surprising. In a world of continual reboots and retreads, it was a nice change of pace. The fact that the movie explored an entirely different aspect of the Jumanji game from the first movie was welcome.
The script was top notch. Each main character was well established and had good development throughout the movie. The humor is well balanced and the actors clearly gelled together well.
Was simultaneously upset and pleased by the fact that the trailers for the movie (to my recollection) made any effort to showcase Bobby Cannavale, who is in my opinion, by far the most skilled actor in the movie.

Gareth von Kallenbach (965 KP) rated Annie (2014) in Movies

Annie, Rose Byrne as Grace, Bobby Cannavale as Guy and Cameron Diaz as Miss Hannigan
is a musical that is fun and caused me to sing along.
The story was cute, and obviously at least somewhat predictable if you are older
than 30-ish.
Parts of it were a very tiny bit scary for my son (6), mostly centered around Annie
being swept off by 'bad guys'.
Cameron Diaz does a pretty good job as Miss Hannigan and sings fairly well. She
doesn't 'copy' Carol Burnetts role as Miss Hannigan, but rather makes it her own,
modern version.
Jamie Foxx is great as Will Stacks and has a great voice. He portrays gruff and
unapproachable very well, and I liked him in the role.
The show stealer was Quvenzhané Wallis as Annie. Her performance was great and she
sang her little heart out. I connected with her emotionally and found her to be very
believable as a kid trying to find her place in the world.
I liked the film, and feel it is a good re-make. It isn't one hundred percent like
the original, but a new, modern twist on it.
My son liked it, and my husband liked it more than he thought he would.
We would be happy to see it again in the theatre.
I would give this over 3.5 out of 5 stars.
