Jumanji: The Next Level

By Sabrina Biehl Published Dec 16, 2019 03:04 pm

Players from the previous Jumanji are back; nerdy Spencer (Alex Wolff), jock Fridge (Ser’Darius Blain), mousey Martha (Morgan Turner), to get even more mixed up with Grandpa Eddie (Danny DeVito) and estranged friend Milo (Danny Glover) in the virtual avatars – Smolder Bravestone (Dwayne Johnson), “Moose” Finbar (Kevin Hart), Ruby Roundhouse (Karen Gillan), and Professor Shelly Oberon (Jack Black). They must save the fantastical video game world of Jumanji as they brave its jungle, desert, mountains and dangerous animals. Rated PG-13 for violence and profanity

“A couple of rollicking action scenes make up for some lost charm.” -John DeFore –The Hollywood Reporter

“Feels a little too much like a money grab and, although moderately entertaining on a popcorn level, there’s a sense of missed opportunity.” -James Berardinelli –Reelviews
