Starting April 5th, you’ll be able to watch Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle on Netflix. The movie, a sequel to the original Jumanji starring Robin Williams, has only been available for rent or purchase digitally until now, so many fans have been waiting for it to appear on a streaming service.

The first Super Mario movie wasn’t great, but it had a simple charm and some fun moments with Mario (Chris Pratt), Luigi (Charlie Day), and a memorable performance by Jack Black as Bowser. The sequel, however, throws so much at the audience – characters, plot points, and themes – that it doesn’t allow anything to breathe. Despite this, the directors, Aaron Horvath and Michael Jelenic, seem to be aiming for emotional resonance, with the story focusing on broken and rebuilt families – something I didn’t expect. The villain, Bowser Jr. (voiced by Benny Safdie), tries to rescue his father, Bowser, who’s been weakened and imprisoned. His plan involves kidnapping Princess Rosalina (Brie Larson) from her observatory, where she raises star-like children called Lumas. Rosalina often tells her children stories about Princess Peach (Anya Taylor-Joy), her sister and the ruler of the Mushroom Kingdom, who Mario is trying to win over. While these attempts to add depth to the film’s chaotic energy could have been interesting, they ultimately fall flat, and the themes of family are simply stated rather than explored.

Honestly, most people only know Deadpool as the wisecracking, fourth-wall-breaking guy who’s constantly dropping pop culture jokes – the one we all love. But it’s easy to forget what he was like when he first showed up 35 years ago. Not a lot of us even know that version of the character, really.
