I'd read the Jumanji commentary; I saw this one in the theater having never actually seen the original, and I thought that for the most part it worked pretty well...except that yes, there were absolutely going to be arguments about the degree to which the stunt-double premise and casting choices did or didn't work. FWIW, I thought all the adult actors did a fantastic job of playing the parts of their counterpart kid identities -- which suggests in particular that Dwayne Johnson may be a better actor than his career has given him the chance to demonstrate.)
I have not yet seen Wrinkle in Time -- would have yesterday, but was struck down by Martian Not-Quite-Death Flu -- so have skipped over that set of notes till later.
