Review of Jungle Cruise (2021) by Dubeau — 01 Aug 2021

Jungle Cruise is partially satisfying. The story is simple. I though I was in a sequel of Jumanji at some points. At least I found the humour to be good, especially the dad jokes. The action was quite uneven.

Some bits were great while others were just generic. Some CGI effects didn't work well, like Proxima and the Tree in the ends. Yet, you get some spectacular views and designs in the background. The acting was in tone and convincing.

The soundtrack was pretty bad all along the movie. Way too present in some sequences. Not the best from Newton-Howard. I did like the modern music parts, it was a break from the rest of the soundtrack.

I give it 58%. An acceptable action ride with some good actors in it, but the story, music, action aren't especially well though.
