Jumanji The Next Level


Actors: Dwayne Johnson, Jack Black, Kevin Hart, Karen Gillan, Nick Jonas, Alex Wolff, Morgan Turner, Ser'Darius Blain, Madison Iseman, Awkwafina, Rory McCann, Danny Glover, Danny DeVito
Rating: 8 out of 10, This is a literal continuation of the same plot from the first movie with just enough change thrown in to keep it fresh. The Rock is back but is inhabited by a senior citizen this time instead of a hormone plagued teenage boy. Both the Rock and his pint sized buddy Kevin Hart are dominated by Karen Gillan who returns as Ruby Roundhouse. She and newcomer Akwafina provide the needed life into the group as the Rock and Hart deal with senior citizen issues, which, considering my age, shouldn’t be dismissed so blithely. This time out the avatars are trying to chase down Sandor Clegane who’s stolen an important jewel. The characters are easy to invest in and this is a nice, familiar ride that’s worth the watch for the stunts involved and the likable actors running through their paces.
MVP: Gillan as Ruby Roundhouse
