The film has the right mix of drama, comedy and action and contains one of the best ensemble casts we’ve seen on the big screen for a long time.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 29, 2024

Great family fun that leans into the solid performances by Jack Black (as always), Dwayne Johnson (laughing at himself), Kevin Hart, Nick Jonas, and Awkwafina as they explore the film's playful and adventurous spirit with humor. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 7/10 | Dec 28, 2022

Jumanji: The Next Level has multigenerational appeal, and Id suggest grandparents will enjoy its much as the kids. I suspect many more levels to come.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 12, 2022

You’re in luck if you liked the first film, as Jumanji: The Next Level feels almost identical to it. It’s a blessing and a curse, but thankfully more on the blessing side of things.

| Original Score: 7/10 | May 19, 2022

And against all the odds, Jumanji: The Next Level is great, possibly even better than the previous film. Scrap that, it IS better than the previous film.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 10, 2021

Jumanji: The Next Level disproves the law of diminishing returns with sequels thanks to a bevy of humor, action, and actors exploring their full capabilities.

| Feb 17, 2021

Goes the way of so many other sequels, replacing the original charm with a story that is larger and louder but not as engaging.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jan 30, 2021

An unimaginative, paint-by-numbers film that avoids originality like a stampeding ostrich and reminds audiences that this is merely a re-run of The Dwayne and Kevin Show.

| Jan 28, 2021

An unfortunate step down from the hilarious original, the performances have weakened and the plot has become overly complicated, but it still has plenty of laughs.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Dec 16, 2020

Feels as if it was written by people who don't play video games.

| Original Score: 5/10 | Dec 7, 2020

The effect works for about a half-hour before wearing on your patient soul.

| Nov 10, 2020

It is the level of energy that these performances bring that keeps this whole business rolling along throughout the familiar plot mechanics.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 28, 2020

Delivers enough subtle changes to the formula that it feels like these characters are more than justified in returning for another adventure.

| Original Score: 9/10 | Aug 15, 2020

The plot seriously needs more focus, but this is still a level up from Welcome to the Jungle and again makes the right call in letting the cast do the hard work.

| Original Score: 3 / 5 | Jul 28, 2020

Enlivened by a deft combination of nifty special effects, calibrated human emotions and pulse-pounding action [Jumanji: The Next Level] does take the game up a few notches.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 14, 2020

The best parts of Jumanji: The Next Level has nothing to do with the plot or even the action scenes. It has all to do with these actors getting a chance to have fun and play around with their performances.

| Original Score: B | Jul 8, 2020

They've found that perfect franchise formula, one open enough where you can play around with the elements without messing up the core structure.

| Jun 27, 2020

Jumanji: The Next Level successfully puts a fresh and inventive spin on what it accomplished in Welcome to the Jungle...

| Original Score: 7/10 | Jun 25, 2020

See Jumanji: The Next Level for an escapist ride into a tame fantasy.

| May 4, 2020

Family-friendly actions really don't come any better than Jumanji: The Next Level. Every member of the family from kids to grandparents will find something to like.
