Jumanji: The Next Level Review
Delivers enough new elements and surprises to continue the ascent of this fun franchise
Delivers enough new elements and surprises to continue the ascent of this fun franchise
Mixes equal parts Clue and Memento for an exciting howdunit more than a whodunit.
Packs the screen with Hollywood heavyweights and fills each of their characters with enough charisma to rouse a coma ward.
Heads in the wrong direction like the Neighborhood trolley going off the tracks.
Delivers the same magic as the original with sparks of creativity flying off in different directions.
Go back to a time when everything in life loomed so large.
It immediately reminds us of Goodfellas, and the comparison does this film no favors.
Outrageously complex to the point where we feel like it’s chasing its own tail.
Boasts just a few great scenes and mostly plods along from one memorable moment to another like a zombie looking for its next meal.
Gemini Man’s central gimmick and familiar plot come off more as Photoshop Man than a compelling drama.
Details the mental decline of a social pariah who eventually develops a new identity to cope with his pain.
Zellweger inhabits Garland so fully that we quickly forget that there’s just an actor behind the makeup.
