Lily travels from London, England to the Amazon jungle and enlists Frank’s questionable services to guide her downriver on La Quila—his ramshackle-but-charming boat. Lily is determined to uncover an ancient tree with unparalleled healing abilities—possessing the power to change the future of medicine. Thrust on this epic quest together, the unlikely duo encounters innumerable dangers and supernatural forces, all lurking in the deceptive beauty of the lush rainforest.

Jungle Cruise packs in everything satisfying about an adventure movie, with some of its own twists. Read full review

In other words, while it might not return with previously unseen treasures, what it does rummage up pairs perfectly with a large bucket of popcorn and a slushy drink. Read full review

Being well-paced, and with the two leads kept at a solid, non-smug register while supporting players like Paul Giamatti and Jesse Plemons do the scenery-chewing with exaggerated accents, it’s easy to appreciate Jungle Cruise for simply being a little more pleasant than the average Disney product.

It’s something closer to an amusement-park attraction named Generic Blockbuster Cruise, where you slowly glide past a bunch of prefab set-ups — over there you’ll see some thrills, look out on your right for some spills and chills — and the whole thing moves inexorably forward on a track, while a skipper cracks the same corny jokes.

The good news is you get about an hour of a movie that could be deemed “entertaining” or “enjoyable.” The bad news is, after that first hour (and like so many movies inexplicably do today), someone decided, “Look, hear me out, what if about halfway through we make this movie super convoluted? Like to the point it would be hard to explain the plot to anyone?” And then someone else decided, “Yes, that’s exactly what we should do.” Read full review

To their credit, by the time the movie ends, Blunt and Johnson have made the sale. I believed them and liked seeing them together. They don’t make Jungle Cruise worth seeing or even worth tolerating. But for scattered minutes across this wasteland, they make it less painful. Read full review

Great humor and action. The dad jokes are the best part of the movie though!

Jungle Cruise is a very fun, very enjoyable movie. It's not perfect, but it's a good enough adventure movie.

Bon voyage, Streamers! Another weekend, another option from that media conglomerate Disney!

Disney had great success with the Pirates of the CaribbeanBon voyage, Streamers! Another weekend, another option from that media conglomerate Disney! The latest adaptation of Disneyland ride into a big budget movie is Jungle Cruise, premiering in theaters and on Disney+ with Premier Access. Disney had great success with the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, which was maybe the first film adaptation of a theme park ride; and it was buoyed by spectacular effects including the daffy, virtuosic performance from Johnny Depp. Why not try again, right? In a sense, it would seem like a movie based on a theme park ride would need an over-the-top hook like a Depp performance to make it work, but Jungle Cruise has The Rock and Mary Poppins 2.0, so... Anyway, here's how Jungle Cruise fared in its waters.

I've never been on the Jungle Cruise ride, so I have no idea if there is a storyline there. I'm going to assume there is not, so the screenwriters had to develop a plot to get the characters on an boat in the jungle and stuff happening. The basics of the plot are that Dr. Lily Houghton (Blunt), a brilliant and adventurous scientist ignored in the science community because she is a woman in the early 20th century, sets out to find an elusive tree with healing powers in the heart of the Amazon. Reluctantly accompanied by her younger brother, McGregor (Jack Whitehall), Lily determined with her wits and an ancient artifact believes she can locate the tree and survive the foray into the jungle. Lily and McGregor engage the services of a riverboat man, Frank (Johnson), who has secrets of his own, to get them deep into the jungle. All the while, mysterious strangers and nefarious villain lurk in the recesses of the jungle threatening to derail Lily's quest. Hijinks, puns, and CGI ensue.

Look, the story is ridiculous, but it's a Disney movie. It reminds me of the quest to harness Vibranium from Blank Panther. Everything is so broad and vaguely sketched. The villains are evil for evil-sake - there's no definable motivation or characteristic, except that they are bad guys. It does take too long for the Lily, McGregor and Frank to get on the river and on with their quest. I can see a viewer getting a little bored about 20 minutes in. The movie does pick up when some cool special effects show up and inject some energy into the story. Once you get to that point, it should be smooth sailing to the end.

On the positive side, Johnson and Blunt are a good big screen pair. They have good chemistry, even if the relationship is ridiculous. Blunt has that easy charm she carries in every role. She's believable as a plucky and headstrong scientist. It's easy to root for her. Johnson has charisma for days. Even though he is saddled with some groan-inducing one-liners and puns, he sells them the best he can and maintains his cool. I'll also shout out Jack Whitehall. He does a great job of keeping up with his superstar co-stars and even steals a scene or two. While I think the CGI is great, it overpowers anything from Edgar Ramirez and what's worse is that is steals from Pirates of the Caribbean without adding anything special. Nevertheless, the production design and magnificent set pieces are a great reason to see this movie.

Jungle Cruise is a fun, summer Disney popcorn flick. It has issues with its plot and pacing early on, but it gains steam as it sails along. Blunt and Johnson do a great job of keeping the movie light and entertaining. Even though the story is ridiculous, you at least root for the characters and can get lost in the special effects, sets and costumes. I wouldn't run out to see Jungle Cruise, but a Saturday matinee with a bowl of popcorn, especially with the family, could be fun.… Expand

Посмотрел вчера "Круиз по джунглям" и вот какое мнение у меня сложилось.
Скажу сразу кино выглядит неплохо, узнаваемые актёры, разрушения, колдовство. Это такой приключенческий боевичок в джунглях, для детей от 7 до 15 лет.

Скажу сразу кино выглядит неплохо, узнаваемые актёры, разрушения, колдовство. Это такой приключенческий боевичок в джунглях, для детей от 7 до 15 лет.
Сам сюжет мне жесточайшим образом напомнил смесь фильмов "Мумия" 1999 и "Пиратов Карибского моря" 2003 годов выпуска. Фильм сочный, красивый и, и,.....и пожалуй это всё, что хорошего я могу о нем сказать.
Теперь о том, что мне не очень или совсем не понравилось.
Это злодеи. Они ну просто ужасны с точки зрения злодеев. Вспомнить хоть Барбоссу или Имхотепа из выше перечисленных фильмов. В Круизе по джунглям это какой то свинообразный немецкий принц?, который пол фильма ходит с гербом Российской империи на шее. А также "проклятые канкистадоры"...ну ё маё. Сравнить проклятых пиратов с Чёрной жемчужины и этих. Те ходячие мертвецы эти клоуны, один состоит из говна, ну реально дерьмодемон, второй из мёда и сот, где ты Винни Пух, третий из змей, какая чушь. Единственный проклятый это такой Грут, состоит из веток и корней, не вызывает смеха.
Герои тоже те ещё. Женщина которая круче всех мужиков, братан гей и нарисованный ягуар. Охренеть. Ну конечно баба вождь...местных дикарей, разговаривающих на английском не хуже лордов, это же начало 20го века, ёлы палы.
Ну прочих глупостей как то кораблик который с одним винтом и движком в 10 лошадей может легко уплыть от водопада и вообще творит какие то чудеса на воде, подводная лодка в реке и прочей несуразности в фильме тоже до фига.
Ну и скала Джонсон, ну честное слово, воспринимается уже как наш Безруков, в каждом фильме затычка.
Резюмирую.
В отличии от тех же Пиратов и Мумии этот фильм, ну лично для меня, на один просмотр. Рекомендую всем детям от 7 до 15 лет. Взрослым не рекомендуется, это же Дисней в конце концов!… Expand

Disney has tried over and over with the Pirates movies to copy that first movie and seem to always miss that the first movie had a actually good story.

Most pathetic adventure once could experience?!The starting plot was a bit suspenseful, but within minutes you will realize that the director of the film was struggling to keep up with the suspense.

Screenwriters have really tried hard to include some punch lines and stupid comedies, but as of today's film standards those comedies are far outdated and frankly speaking shouldn't be even considered funny by children. It wasn't an adventure movie at all by far as the name suggests, moreover just running the scripts to end the film. I suppose Disney have lost the charm. Total waste of 2 hours and the money that was spent for creating this pathetic cruise. Would recommend just to watch it once and never think about it again.… Expand
