10	Leonardis	80 _35th
It's about as good as the last movie, which I had quite a bit of fun with. The only things harming this movie: The impact and freshness of the other films are gone and some scenes are unnecessarily long. Other than that, it's still pretty humorous and well acted and every bit as entertaining as Welcome to the Jungle. I'm just hoping he next one feels a bit more fresh.
8	BillyShears	65 _42nd
The Rock doesn’t touch a helicopter, couldn’t follow this at all.
7	Jasongirl67	75 _69th
Good follow up Kept me laughing I felt the Danny DeVito impersonations from The Rock and Awkwafina were a little too corny But Overall good movie
6	TheRealJ-Ro	75 _55th
Seriously, Jumanji, you have no right to be as entertaining and high-quality as you are. I dunno who told you you could. In most ways it's a measurable step forward for me from WTTJ, it's funnier, it has a more interesting story, and it very effectively put a fresh coat of paint on the setup of entering the game. Karen Gillan is a superstar waiting to happen, and Danny GD Devito steals, literally, every single scene he is in. Cast him in every movie as the disgruntled grandpa. You're welcome.
6	Jerky	60 _72nd
A notch better than the first one. Had more heart and excitement (like the monkey bridge scene) I thought The Rock wasn't as good here as in part 1, but Kevin Hart was much better this time around. More nuanced and less scream-y. A fun popcorn flick.
5	ribcage	83 _82nd
refining the elements that worked in the first film, adding new characters and twists, and improved action direction and adventure setpieces without getting sequelitis by trying to go too much bigger than last time. comedy hinges entirely upon the main cast hamming it up as different characters. Last time Jack Black stole the show as the avatar for a prissy teenaged girl. This time it's The Rock's turn -- as curmudgeonly Danny DeVito. And, like last time, I was laughing the whole way through.
4	Luna6ix	78 _66th
With my expectations sufficiently raised by how fun the last one was, the second was a touch less enjoyable. Even so, when a movie is as fun and action packed as these are, I dare you not to kick back and have a good time, if you don't you can go back to your hair shirt, self-flagellation, and plain foods, you stoic son-of-a-bitch.
4	goremeat	60 _43rd
The Rock and Kevin Hart are pretty funny in this - and it feels like safe fun for any audience. Probably should have been 20mins shorter, but at least they get to run through a lot of interesting set pieces. Decent comedy adventure.
4	Corbad	75 _67th
The grandpas inject just enough freshness into the conceit to keep it as alive and hilarious as the first time around. The jokes are effective, the performances continue to delight, and the action's entertaining. It's simple, charming, and polished. Lots of fun.
3	Mentaculus	66 _44th
Every attempt (landed or not) at cleverness is in some way a recall of the first film - mostly in how well our leads inhabit their avatars (or not, or vice versa). But that's this film's (pat my chest) Weakness: they don't learn from their incarnated experience, truly, in a way that builds their own internal character. So the new deus ex "glitch" that swaps the personalities out to serve the story feels less like a godsend and more like a copout. Its moments of heart suffer as a result
3	Vandelay1	45 _45th
worth a watch
3	mattorama12	68 _55th
A thoroughly enjoyable follow-up to Welcome to the Jungle. Some of the character/avatar mashups don't work as well as in the last one, but they "fix" that for the final act. Overall, it's just nice to find an actually fun and funny adventure movie, it's a genre that almost doesn't even exist anymore outside of animation.
3	magdabag	86 _62nd
I could've watched hours of this.
3	Greener	65 _49th
New gimmicks and characters, added to this one in order to make it different from the previous one, worked well, to my surprise. The new characters were a bit annoying in the first half, but it gets better in the rest of the movie, and their subplot is actually a bit better than the main plot.
3	jacobclark12	49 _36th
The video game mechanics are better this time around, but the freshness is lost a bit in this entertaining but ultimately mildly forgettable sequel.
3	luord	61 _47th
While it is entertaining, it isn't as consistently funny as the previous one; the biggest problem may be the excess of characters, that is often unable to handle.
2	Ytadel	6 _70th
More of the same without a doubt, but I continue to be a sucker for this kind of winking send up of video game tropes, so I certainly enjoyed my couple hours with it.
2	nauru	79 _88th
Hilarious and visually immersive film. Impressive acting from the entire cast. Major improvement from the last one.
2	kgbelliveau	80 _51st
It doesn't drop off at all from the last one and reinvents itself by being smart with its own premise and the way the real world/avatar variations are used. It is thrilling from a visual standpoint and the plot is not at all hard to follow which allows the audience to focus on the humour. Seasoned actors doing their thing for a slick production and a very engaging adventure flick. Fun for all to be had.
2	lena_c	3 _43rd
The hard number 2 .... Not sure they completely succeeded but not bad. Devito was a nice input. *Recommendable
2	Dakota99	6 _62nd
The Next Level certainly feels like what it is: The next level. It doesn’t do anything crazily unique or different this time around, but I think it takes some interesting turns in some real emotional drama. Both sides of the cast are even better this go around, especially Johnson & Black. It still holds a lot of ridiculous action sequences, and it kinda plays into some different game mechanics as well. It’s pretty on par with the 1st, and that’s better than most comedies can say.
2	donquixotic	50 _32nd
The first one was surprisingly fun, this one doesn't add anything. Best point is the poster where the poses are deliberately supposed to show off Karen Gillan's tittays.
2	christof	40 _8th
Drained of all the light-hearted charm of the previous film. Just dialled-in by the numbers.
2	Iamdwg (Interpreting the Stars)	87 _79th
I know I'm in the minority here, but I loved the humor in this film 1,000x more than its predecessors, particularly because of the switch in avatar personalities. Yeah, the story is still basic and nothing to write home about, but it's all about characters, and the characters here are freaking hilarious...in my opinion
2	offlineoz	45 _29th
Under Quarantine Film Reviews #84: Loses a lot of the charm and freshness it had in its reboot by rehashing elements from its predecessor. It has its moments (especially Kevin Hart playing Dany Glover) but ends up becoming a forgettable sequel.
1	td888	60 _58th
A good follow up, not a bad choice to pass a lost Sunday afternoon.
1	msprague	60 _32nd
Family entertainment but Awkwafina is really the funny in this. The rest is mostly ok.
1	Duder	60 _40th
If you liked the first one, you'll like this one too. There are some good twist on the formula. It is not an awful second outing, the cast make it fun once again.
1	KasperL	40 _20th
It tries too hard. The first one was much more fun.
1	muutanet	51 _40th
I haven't seen the previous Jumanji and it looks like there was a lot of references pointing that direction. Some of meta jokes were hilarious, and I liked the castle fight. Otherwise there was plenty standing still water and bad jokes.
1	elmakebabi	50 _21st
A copy paste of Welcome to the Jungle.
1	Hadleyreis	57 _33rd
A confusing film where I wasn't sure who was who, who wasn't who, and who was supposed to be whoever they weren't supposed to be.
1	WWallce4prez	65 _35th
The reheated jokes from the first film still work to some degree. The inclusion of boomer humor with Glover and DeVito are, by far, the funniest aspect. Karen Gillan has great charisma and a distracting stomach.
1	DolphinSpurs	75 _37th
As cheesy and infuriating as the original (ok Boomers), Jumanji: TNL is still sneaky fun if you go in with the lowest of low expectations. Bad acting and stupid character choices aside, the Rock, Jack Black, Kevin Hart and Awkwafina are clearly having fun cashing this paycheck. The set pieces are gorgeous. Everything else, including plot and pacing is forced and wooden, but it's still a B+ popcorn flick.
1	Okkervil	61 _55th
Does more of the same and does it pretty well.
1	Ernestina	79 _81st
Jumanji: The Next Level is basically the same as the first one, except more emotional. Otherwise it has the same energy, jokes and silliness as the previous one. The movie is enjoyable for what it is.
1	thegreyfox	75 _62nd
Well this is inevitably going to be a "good joke told twice", but in order to keep it fun, the writers have brought in some good new ideas to keep things fresh. However, some of those "ideas" require repeated exposition just to keep the new characters up to speed which slows everything down; the problem being the audience were already there and shouting "get the **** on with it!". You can imagine someone saying "we are definitely not in Jumanji anymore, Dwayne!" but heh, still a load of fun.
1	myfavchords	70 _28th
This film is not as charming as the other one directed by Jake Kasdan. The cast does seem to be having fun again here. The script is not different enough from the first in the series. They could have did a lot more with the video game genre this time around. Overall I would recommend this movie if you enjoyed the other ones in this series.
1	hotsake	64 _59th
Oddly enough I think I actually liked this better than the last one. Not sure why but this one just worked a bit better in just about every department.
1	FoxyRussian	79 _39th
Refreshing to see The Rock and Kevin Heart play different characters from their usual "playing themselves". It's a fun dumb comedy, If you liked the first Jumanji its just more of the same. The cast is funny, Awkwafina is talented in every way, the "real life" characters are boring and slow down the movie.
1	PUNQ	50 _78th
I really liked the previous one, but this was a clear downgrade, but still funny in parts. Best part was Kevin Hart going all Danny Glover on us!
1	TheEscapist	50 _7th
Bad sequel, it feels like a copy paste of the previous one, with some slight twists but mostly the same jokes. I did not enjoy it, they worked once in the 2017 film but not twice. Very ugly CGI, how did that happen with a $100+ million budget? I quit watching after a bit more than an hour. Lazy writing and feels like a soulless quick cash grab. Avoid.
1	amazedemon	64 _50th
Everything I wrote in my mini-review of the 2017 film applies to this one. The Next Level's setup is both unsettlingly selfish and honestly quite funny (though it's in the trailers). Johnson and Hart doing impressions of DeVito and Glover respectively was inspired. Black playing both a black jock and blonde cheerleader was also pretty great. Gillan again was underused, though Awkwafina fits seamlessly into the cast. Definitely a focus on comedy over plot. Entertaining and gimmicky but not great.
1	philamental	46 _15th
The introduction of the Glover and DeVito characters doesn't work at all and they practically inhabit their own part of the movie separate from the younger characters, literally for most of the final act only to return in an attempt to add some emotional weight to the ending. Overall noticeably less fun and enjoyable than the last outing which I was quite fond of so 'the next level' was a disappointment for me personally.
1	BadFurDay	5 _40th
Same as the first movie, with some extra old dudes hanging around the crew. Entertaining, but that's about it. Unnecessary sequel.
1	joel-w-m	5 _25th
Another fun helping of adventure: the locales are varied and exciting and the action set pieces are expectedly wild (see the mandrills on the swinging bridges). The comedy's a mixed bag; slow-talking Hart is hilarious ("Who is Jumanji?" "Is that Barbara's boy?"), but no one seems to be able to do a Danny DeVito impression. The drama doesn't really work (Spencer's arc was a nice thought but it resolves too easily; the Milo-Eddie tension comes out of nowhere and feels like an unecessary aside).
1	Smatthew	7 _30th
The first movie was a lot better, the second felt rushed to completion with elements of the first one mixed with a dash of new stuff.
1	nobamba	50 _45th
Takes too long to build up to the fun parts. I don't really care about the drama of the real life kids; they're not as interesting as the game characters. Nice switcheroo with the grandpa and his friend playing familiar characters. Jack Black continues to be amazing in different parts while the Rock is a true A-lister. Awkwafina did well. Main kid was selfish and unlikeable. Not sure why Alex would risk losing his family to run off with the girl. They went to Winterfell. Fav scene: ostriches.
1	MintTangle	80 _57th
Not quite as good as the last film, but still plenty funny. The actors mimicking each other was easily the best part of the film (especially Awkwafina, she's so funny). The only things dragging this movie down are a few questionable character motivations and some glossed over resolutions to them.
1	PianoSama	70 _82nd
Saved by its excellent cast, blockbuster charm & some nice heartfelt moments here & there, without those it would be a pretty big downgrade from W2TJ. The plot is messier, the rules of the in-game world are less clear, the villain is super meh, and there's just less heart overall than there was before. Still, the comedy is fun, even when it's low-hanging fruit- though a couple of running gags get old fast- & there are some clever references. The body-swap thing is neat. All in all, worth seeing.
1	Quintonjamin	60 _51st
It hits a lot of the same beats as welcome to the jungle, but it's still just as funny. I didn't have a problem with it here, but if they do another one without exploring something new it will definitely get old. Though, the post credit scene shows the new direction they want to go in with the next.
1	rihrey	36 _34th
extra points for awkwafina and danny devito
1	morphinapg	71 _53rd
It obviously won't feel as fresh as the last movie since it's reliving a lot of what that movie did, but it's still a ton of fun. A few new twists thrown in to tweak the formula, but not much to say other than that. If you liked the last one, you'll like this one.
1	Antonio P	40 _46th
This was a ok movie. Although they are playing a new gen game here and they introduce a old gen concept of lives when in new games lives are unlimited and not even a thing because you have save states etc. The Rock and the Girl were made to look very powerful the other 2 were useless.
