Welcome to the Jungle didn’t need a follow-up, but The Next Level actually ups the ante, rebuking flagging reboots by addressing its material thoughtfully. It makes the return to the jungle a thrill, and, crucially, makes it easy to imagine coming back for more. Read full review

Even if The Next Level doesn’t set a new high score, it still proves this franchise isn’t out of lives just yet. Read full review

This time, there is a light touch of poignance as well that makes the message about friendship more meaningful. And like all good video games, there's a hint of yet another level at the end for those, like me, who are not yet ready to say Game Over. Read full review

What gives Jumanji its likability is that it has the emphases and comedy beats of an animation, but also the performance technique of live action – and the occasional reshuffling of avatars and players lets the actors show off a little bit further. Jumanji’s next level is rather satisfying. Read full review

Jumanji: The Next Level keeps things upbeat and lively, thanks in no small part to the introduction of two counterintuitively revivifying characters – curmudgeonly old codgers whose gripes and aches provide a jolly counterpoint to the teen angst that fired Kasdan’s previous instalment.

It’s perhaps unfair to call this a turkey. It’s got some sweet moments, and the cast, as it did in the previous picture, enjoys itself at least semi-infectiously. But the action sequences are lifeless; the lessons valid but arguably stale; and the trimmings, mere bloat. Read full review

For all the emphasis on video game characters who can be swapped out on a whim, it’s the players themselves who come across as the most thinly drawn and interchangeable beneath their avatars. Read full review

With this movie, they integrated some Steampunk into the Jumanji world, which makes it less streamlined. They also brought up ideas of ordinary inner conflicts and conflicts between the protagonists.

They also brought up ideas of ordinary inner conflicts and conflicts between the protagonists. This makes the movie more relatable. The main plot isn't as spectacular though, maybe because it's not so different from the previous movie. The writers still play with typical cliches and subvert expectations. Overall, I liked it a little bit more than the previous part.… Expand

Even knowing roughly what will happen, the movie's uplifting and bubbly tone, the creativity of the settings and the actors all make it a great fun ride. Love the chemistry between the characters, the fun and funny dialogue, the action and the absurdness of it all. It's all just great fun. The movie flew by. Love that the actors can all poke fun at themselves. So needed a movie like this, can't wait for the next one.… Expand

Fun filled ride for sure. I really enjoyed how Kevin Hart, Jack Black and the rock had to switch personalities and up their acting game in order to match their new Players for their avatars. Particularly impressed with Kevin Hart's performance. This is a fun one to watch with the kids butFun filled ride for sure.

This movie has many sins. One of the biggest is that it is like The Hangover 2 same plot and jokes as the previous installment into the series.
