POSITIVES…
If you’re a fan of Jumanji : Welcome To The Jungle, then there’s no reason why you wouldn’t like this.
The cast is once again amazing. Gillan, Johnson, Hart, and Black. What a team they make.
Karen Gillan continues to impress with the physicality she is able to display in this movie.
Jack Black once again shows us what a fantastic actor he is with the character he plays here.
Dwayne Johnson and Kevin Hart were amazing acting like old men in younger bodies. A lot of the enjoyment with this movie was because of this premise.
A running gag about old men who don’t seem to have a full grasp of what’s happening to them in this video game world is also pretty entertaining.
The action set pieces with the ostriches and the dune buggies, plus the monkeys and the bridge. Fun stuff!
Kudos to the writers for being able to integrate important thematic messages into a movie that doesn’t seem like it needs depth in it’s story.
NEGATIVES…
It’s easy to accuse this movie of being roughly the same thing as the previous installment.
Has some new ideas, but it’s not exactly pushing itself further than it’s comfortable with.
Was it a bit cliche, derivative, predictable, or too familiar? Sure.
Rory McCann as Jurgan The Brutal wasn’t all that great of a villain to this story.
Awkwafina also seemed a bit forgettable in what should have been a more significant role.
Somehow it felt like the movie lost its steam by the final act and concluding action set piece.
P.S….
