Snoozefest

Boring clone movie

Well this is a bad movie and not worth a watch, still not worth five minutes or longer,

All spammers praising this film use the word “sequel” in their subject line (poor Sony).

AMAZING SEQUEL!!!

8/10

A sequel that improves upon the already good predecessor!

Warning: Spoilers

I went into this one not expecting much at all; the first one was really good and it didn’t really warrant a sequel. It’s really delightful to say that this is a great entertaining adventure comedy that is actually funnier than the last one.! This time, we catch up with Spencer, Martha, Fridge and Bethany as they have gone their separate ways. They plan to meet up together again which is disrupted by Spencer rediscovering the Jumanji video game again and they have to go back into the game to get him back! The game has expanded even more so and they have to face a perilous journey to find their friend and the Stone that will return them to reality. So the story isn’t quite as engaging as the previous film which is its only real downfall apart from an uninteresting villain which the first did suffer from a bit also. But what’s raises this up is the proper belly laughs and just great performers 😀 the central crew of Dr. Smolder Bravestone (Dwayne Johnson) Professor Sheldon Oberon (Jack Black) Franklin Finbar (Kevin Hart) and Ruby Roundhouse (Karen Gillan) are just great on screen together and you can feel how much they must get on in real life. There’s also brilliant inclusions here of Danny DeVito and Danny Glover as the old folks and in particular Awkwafina as Ming Fleetfoot who does an amazing job and that’s as far as I can say without spoiling anything. Kevin Hart is also a huge stand out here; his character goes different places here that are genuinely hilarious. A massive surprise and just a damn good adventure flick. And check out that epic poster!

It Is The Same thing As The Last One

Hence it is purely a rip off cash grab. Feed the morons the same formula and they will give us their money. Sony has as many new ideas as Big Macs have nutrition.

No new ideas. No reasons for this ‘sequel’ to exist except Sony is creatively bankrupt. The film was boring and just Karen was doable.

Interesting, funny, humorous, fun and cheerful movie

6/10

Not bad, but not in the same class as the first.

It’s an entertaining sequel. The effects and the story (in the game) were surprisingly good for a sequel. It also took entirely too long to get into the game.

What brought the movie down a notch is the tired troupe of grandpa has to have everything explained 20 times. And the overdone old man routine. Ugh. It gave me flashbacks of Jar Jar Binks. That and a miscast Awkwafina – maybe it’s just me, but I found her to be incredibly annoying.

It is definitely NOT better than the last one, but isn’t a flop either.

It is a disease and Sony and the producers have fallen prey to it.

Give your money to the Jumanji money takers suckers! At least Karen looked tasty.

7/10

Speeds up after about 30 minutes into the movie

harisharvi5 February 2020

Jumanji 2 is a big big bore fir the first 30 minutes. The only thing that holds you for that time is the cast which tries its best to balance the weak narrative.

Not spoiling anything but there is a scene involving the Rock beat up about a 1000 guys…after that the film is a fun time and actually connects well.

So basically bare the first 30 minutes after that you can have some fun

1/10

The Rock is trash

Dante474 February 2020

I think his movies suck. All of them. He is trash. I have no respect for a man who goes and buys out the gym for a day because he wants the gym to himself. What a selfish jerk. No one really cares about you unless they suffer from CWS.
