POSITIVES…
Action adventuring in the jungle. If you’re looking for your fix for this familiar premise, well here you go!
Big thrilling and exciting set pieces are entertaining to watch.
I especially appreciated seeing the thrilling Buster Keaton inspired stunts.
All the scenes, moments, and mentions, that pays homage to the Jungle Cruise ride experience at Disneyland. Puns and all. I actually didn't hate it.
Speaking of puns and all. I generally had fun with the overall lighthearted comedic nature and tone.
Drinking game idea. If you hear a pun. Take a shot.
The whole chemistry, dialogue, and interactions between Lily and Frank is one of the main highlights in seeing this movie.
Emily Blunt is a trooper in this as Lily. Your strong willed and oh so capable adventurer.
Dwayne Johnson is as charming as you expect him to be here as Frank.
Jesse Plemons is awesome at chewing the scenery as Prince Joachim.
That CG leopard.
NEGATIVES…
All the familiar derivative plot tropes you expect from this are here.
Some baffling plot points that might annoy you.
Sophomoric humor and physical slapstick comedy can fall flat on its face or just be cringe worthy.
If you don't like puns. Well, you'll be hearing a lot of it in this movie.
Have ophidiophobia? Probably shouldn’t watch this.
Honestly, this plot really did not need the brother character for comedic relief.
Yes, men back then were really misogynistic. We get it!
