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

The Film Stage Ethan Vestby

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.

Jaume Collet-Serra’s deft touches elevate what otherwise feels like another formulaic contemporary Disney blockbuster. Read full review

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 big, loud, and wild ride of a film, a mix of Pirates of the Caribbean and Indiana Jones. Dwayne Johnson does all the heavy lifting here but the chemistry between his character and Emily Blunt's is electrifying.

Dwayne Johnson does all the heavy lifting here but the chemistry between his character and Emily Blunt's is electrifying. With Jesse Plemons and Jack Whitehall rounding out the cast, this is almost a must see. The plot is energetic with it's non stop barrage of ancient exposition and supernatural curses and German villains and boat chases. With a few actually good twists and outstanding performances from the entire cast, JUNGLE CRUISE is a fun family adventure.… Expand

Its Indiana Jones for kids and my kids liked it a lot. Jungle Cruise has its moments and both Emily Blunt and DJ does a good job. Effects are ok, jokes are ok, story is ok and overall it is well worth seeing especially if you include your teenagers.

Jungle Cruise is partially satisfying. The story is simple. I though I was in a sequel of Jumanji at some points. At least I found the humour to be good, especially the dad jokes.

I though I was in a sequel of Jumanji at some points. At least I found the humour to be good, especially the dad jokes. The action was quite uneven. Some bits were great while others were just generic. Some CGI effects didn't work well, like Proxima and the Tree in the ends. Yet, you get some spectacular views and designs in the background. The acting was in tone and convincing. The soundtrack was pretty bad all along the movie. Way too present in some sequences. Not the best from Newton-Howard. I did like the modern music parts, it was a break from the rest of the soundtrack. I give it 58%. An acceptable action ride with some good actors in it, but the story, music, action aren't especially well though.… 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.

Its overly complicated story that is so illogical it hurts my brain and its much to long. Its pretty and has some decent action and theDisney 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.

The film would probably have turned out well if 90% of the film had not been shot in the studio. To forego one or the other superfluous action scene would have been good. maybe the writer would have thought of a joke or two when she left the hollywood studios. overall boring result.The film would probably have turned out well if 90% of the film had not been shot in the studio.
