10 Franchise Reboots That Were Better Than The Original
9. Jumanji: Welcome To The Jungle
Who would ever have thought a Jumanji reboot would have made over $1 billion dollars? Well, that's what happens when you team The Rock, Kevin Hart, Jack Black, and Karen Gillan for a hilarious reboot that was definitively better than the original.
All respect and dues given to Robin Williams and his cult classic family movie from 1995, but the reboot was so much better. Despite just about no-one asking for a remake of Jumanji, Dwayne Johnson and co. saw some potential in the franchise and delivered a laugh-out-loud romp that may just be the best video game movie ever made.
Jumanji scored 53% on Rotten Tomatoes, while Welcome To The Jungle scored 76%, proving critics agreed that the reboot was superior. The movie was a huge hit with audiences and is getting a sequel at the end of next year, here's hoping the franchise goes from strength to strength.
