This reboot won’t blow your mind, but it’s an easy, funny, and action-packed summer flick made much better than it needed to be by standout performances from Jack Black and Kevin Hart.

Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Udita Jhunjhunwala Livemint This sequel has enough razzle-dazzle and laughs to make for a fun family entertainer. Jul 29, 2019 Full Review Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Robert Daniels 812filmreviews The myriad of ways this sequel could have ended in disaster were obvious and ripe. Nevertheless, against all odds, Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle is a good movie. Rated: 3/4 Aug 27, 2018 Full Review Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Roxana Hadadi Pajiba Expanding the world of a concept is great! But the story that Welcome to the Jungle is expanded for is yet another teen-self-actualization movie, the kind of thing we already received this year. May 7, 2018 Full Review Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Daniel Howat Next Best Picture Even with a simple plot, Jumanji: Welcome To The Jungle is so flat-out hysterical that it’s a complete joy to watch. The film embraces the silly concept of being sucked into a video game, but never insults the audience’s intelligence. Rated: 7/10 May 19, 2022 Full Review Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Richard Trenholm CNET Dwayne Johnson is a jungle VIP in this entertaining sequel to the much-loved Robin Williams caper. Apr 20, 2022 Full Review Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review Viewers and gamers alike may have more fun with Pitfall Harry.

Randy W Even better than the first one, the cast was fantastic Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/10/24 Full Review Julian Rex M Borderline cringeworthy and all the funnier for it, Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle is a star-studded comedic pearl with all of the wit and charm that is to be expected from Dwayne Johnson and Kevin Hart. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/21/24 Full Review Leovanni E Great Acting And Just A Perfect Fun Movie Rated 4.5/5 Stars • Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 09/02/24 Full Review Jonathan K It's a good pop movie! It's pretty funny -- Kevin Hart doing Kevin Hart things -- and it has kind of a sweet message about being enough when you think you want to be someone else, or at least look like someone else. If I was a kid around the time this came out I could see myself really loving it, in particular for the altered time aspect of it and the video game angle. I could even have gone for them leaning in even more into the video game shtick, it's fun. They could have done even more physical comedy, and gotten borderline cartoony with it, especially when it came to gravity or physics-defying movement of the characters. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/01/24 Full Review Jade G 8 year old refused to watch it after watching the first one and discovering it wasn't a board game anymore but a video game. It might be a decent movie but had to find something else to watch because of the disappointment. Rated 0.5/5 Stars • Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 08/22/24 Full Review Lucas t While this is a very good film I still slightly prefer the original. 8.4/10. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/29/24 Full Review Read all reviews
