Review of Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle (2017) by Kaustav — 02 Jan 2018

It is understandable why this is so critically low rated. But when it comes to movies of this genre and to movies that have Dwayne Johnson, it simply doesn't matter. Johnson, Jack Black and Kevin Hart are simply so well cast and hilarious (bit too obviously but that won't be a problem). Even Karen Gillan as Ruby Roundhouse pulls her weight. Go with somebody and get your guts laughed out. I can vouch for that.

Despite it lack of innovative narrative, it does its bit to not seem out of place and the audience will get the reflection of work put in. One of those movies whose trailers tell you exactly what it is and doesn't shortchange you for it. That's all.
