Jumanji: The Next Level's reviews
Media reviews
The Wrap
It is, most importantly, amusing and creative. It may not follow its storylines to the most logical conclusions, and it may not reinvent the action movie as we know it. It?s still an enjoyable blockbuster sequel that tries to infuse the original idea with a couple new ideas, while setting the stage for more exciting adventures to come.
Entertainment Weekly
Even if The Next Level doesn?t set a new high score, it still proves this franchise isn?t out of lives just yet.
Variety
More often than not, effects-driven blockbusters get dumber as the series goes along, but Jumanji: The Next Level invents some fun ideas to keep things fresh.
Empire
It doesn?t have the surprise factor of the last film and sometimes feels rough around the edges, but The Next Level pushes its body-swap antics even further to deliver just as many laughs.
The Guardian
What gives Jumanji its likability is that it has the emphases and comedy beats of an animation, but also the performance technique of live action ? and the occasional reshuffling of avatars and players lets the actors show off a little bit further. Jumanji?s next level is rather satisfying.
The Hollywood Reporter
A large part of the first film's pleasure came from watching adult actors, very sure in their screen personae, pretend to be children who were awed (or disgusted, as the case may be) by their new bodies and abilities. This time around, that getting-to-know-you phase is much less fun
