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

Is the movie simple? Yes. In this case, it's not a bad thing. The fourth chapter in the franchise is enjoyable and doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not. Go in with an open mind. It's good.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This movie was a disappointment to me and definitely not as good as the last one. The writing was not that funny and things that were supposed to be funny were really not funny at all. The acting was great especially from Awkwafina, Danny DeVito, Karen Gillan, Nick Jonas, Jack Black, Rhys Darby, Dwayne Johnson, and Kevin Hart. I felt that the acting from Dwayne Johnson and Kevin Hart was not as good in this one as it was in the last one just cause the writing was not funny. The visual effects were phenomenal just like in the last one. The music was great. Overall not a horrible movie but it was far from the perfection of the last one and it was one of my least favorite movies of 2019.… Expand
