Sony Pictures
The trailer for "Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle" dropped Thursday morning and while some fans can't wait to relive the 1995 film others on Twitter are not too happy with it.
The reboot follows four kids stuck in detention as they come across a video game console while cleaning out their school's basement. After selecting their characters -- Dr. Smolder Bravestone (Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson), Franklin "Moose" Finbar (Kevin Hart), Ruby Roundhouse (Karen Gillan) and Professor Shelly Oberon (Jack Black) -- they're sucked into the screen.
And While the original Robin Williams' film brought the game's dangers to the real world, this movie sees its players transported into a video game.
Fans on Twitter are calling the movie out for being nothing like the original, saying "this is a disgrace to the original and to the late Robin Williams" and "how many more of my childhood movies are going to be ruined?

All the movie remakes lately have been disappointments. Not setting myself up with Jumanji 😒 pic.twitter.com/30uQfc8uGd
@xonecole
Jumanji and The Mummy are starting a new trend where they make completely new movie concepts and call them reboots for name recognition.
@alextumay
They completely changed the story of Jumanji, Teens get sucked into a video game and control avatars which is the Rock and others.. 😂
@H2ODelirious
Jumanji: it's 2017. Tabletop games are LAME. what do the kids like? Videogames. Die in the game, die in real life

Secondly. I am going to kill whomever came up with this new Jumanji. It is not Jumanji it is Michael Bay Jungle Fast and Furious.

For the record : rebooting perfect movies is a bad, bad idea. Dirty Dancing is a good example of it. Jumanji IS perfect. #Stahp pic.twitter.com/ycs3oyaUuK

The new Jumanji trailer doesn't look bad.... but it doesn't feel like Jumanji at all.
@JahovasWitniss
Please.... when will the world stop remaking classic movies like Jumanji, just let it be a classic without a sequel! pic.twitter.com/MWv8xxRD0y

The jumanji movie looks so bad
@bigbrothersnake
I know this is #Jumanji but.. It looks like Amy @karengillan introduced the Doctor to Jack Black who then convinced them to kidnap @TheRock pic.twitter.com/4c6MosX6Gh
@redwillow311
I don't care how good a film it is or what they insist on calling it... there's only one #Jumanji and it ain't coming out this year. pic.twitter.com/fE6zUm4HGr
@Penstrickenblog
Jumanji from the makers of Chips and Baywatch.
@thelastdisciple
Yeah take the name Jumanji out and I think it makes wayyyyy more sense.
@JaigEyes66
Yeah a reboot of #Jumanji with The Rock and Kevin Hart sounds like it will be a quality work of #cinema. These fucking people lmao

Somehow the least believable part of the Jumanji trailer is an Atari-era machine has 16-bit graphics and four simultaneous players.
@MikeDrucker
this is Jumanji, the new movie wont be anything like this one with the best actor of all time in it #RobbieWilliams pic.twitter.com/0x8aHD1dxU
@finn_cooke
Thought it was just me. Disliked both, but found the Jumanji trailer kind of a slap in the face to the original.
@mr_rawhite
That trailer was not Jumanji, how dare they ruin a classic
@zayminga
So they've ruined jumanji
@yeezylust
wow new Jumanji movie looks like absolute shit.
@VeganLyfe666
The first flaw of the new Jumanji trailer is there are 4 controllers on an old console.
@EddieChisham
so why are is there a jumanji spin-off coming out? why must we constantly try to fix things that aren't broken.
