Jumanji: The Next Level Ratings & Reviews
- mickerdooJanuary 23, 2026Felt a little hollow. But the out of body avatar thing detaches you. Otherwise fine for a background action watch. Gotta love Black, though.
- christinav61January 1, 2026I really like this movie entertaining it’s funny specially if jet black is in there😊
- Richard DavisDecember 31, 2025Good fun, but still not a patch on the Robin Williams original...
- Nishant AroraDecember 18, 2025A fun-filled sequel that doubles down on the body-swapping comedy of its predecessor while expanding the game's boundaries. The Good: The chemistry between the leads remains electric, specifically Danny DeVito and Danny Glover’s hilarious contributions to the avatar dynamics. The visual effects during the ostrich chase are impressively seamless, and the creative expansion of the game’s biomes keeps the world-building fresh and visually engaging. The Bad: However, the narrative follows the original's structure a bit too closely, leading to some predictable story beats. Certain emotional arcs feel rushed compared to the first film, and the pacing occasionally stumbles during the transition between the jungle and desert levels. Verdict: It’s a vibrant, high-energy adventure that proves this franchise still has plenty of life, even if the novelty is slightly wearing off.
- James BlandfordJune 7, 2025Wholesome and comedic. Such a great film
- ZokkiieDecember 5, 2025Still fun, just not as fresh as the last one. The cast is great again, and the new body-swapping bit adds some laughs, but the story feels a little more scattered. It’s an easy, light watch with a few good moments—just not as sharp as the first one.
- ShaydeknightOctober 25, 2025I didn't expect to like Jumanji: The Next Level. After all, lightning rarely strikes twice, and the first film had already surprised me by being far better than it had any right to be. This one isn't quite the surprise its predecessor was, but it's a solid, entertaining sequel nonetheless. Once again, I wanted to dislike it but couldn't. The returning cast is still fun to watch, especially since the body-swapping mechanic lets them play different personalities this time around. Seeing actors like Dwayne Johnson and Jack Black stretch their performances in unexpected directions gives the film fresh energy. Kevin Hart dials things back a bit and gives a fantastic performance and Karen Gillan continues to be the effortlessly grounded centre of the chaos. And my personal favourite, Nick Jonas, brings a nice touch to the cast. Jake Kasdan, I think, doesn't get enough credit as a director. He pulls off three very difficult things here. First, he treats the Jumanji universe, including the original film (and arguably Zathura) with genuine respect. He expands the mythos without cheapening it. Case in point: bringing Bebe Neuwirth in to play Nora, again. Second, he crafts an original story that's nearly as compelling as the first, though I would have liked a bit more exposition about why there's another level at all. Third (and this is no small feat) he manages to get his actors to maintain completely recognizable character continuity throughout the film. That's incredibly tricky in a movie where personalities jump from body to body, yet he makes it all feel coherent and believable. The production values are strong: great set design, solid CGI (those mandrills were downright impressive), and some really noteworthy large-scale sequences. The addition of new players fits surprisingly well, considering who some of them are. No spoilers, but they add a lot more than just comic relief. All in all, The Next Level is a worthy follow-up. It's less surprising than Welcome to the Jungle, but still clever, funny, and full of charm. I had to like it, grudgingly.
- carmen.s29October 17, 2025Fun movie for the family. The characters interact with each other well, and the plot moves along at a decent pace. The reboot of this franchise served Robin Williams well by not wrecking the original content.
- Ian StøttrupOctober 17, 2025Good fun
- Saber ZainalOctober 14, 2025Easy watch movie
- stuhannafordMay 1, 2025Not quite the same volume of laughs, but keeps the heart of the previous movie, with the characters continuing to navigate growing up… and the odd moment of mortal peril. A welcome addition of two elderly players, and some creative avatar upgrades.
- GemsDoesWatchAugust 24, 2025Really good! Not as good as the 2017 movie
- tellumAugust 19, 2025If you just want more of the same from the last movie then this will probably satisfy you. Awkwafina and Nick Jonas both do a good job adding to the hijinx.
- AdsAugust 5, 2025Family Friendly
- Yashika RajputJuly 26, 2025I just watched this movie after so long, and honestly, it brought back so many memories. I remember watching one of the Jumanji films when I was younger, but I couldn’t recall exactly which one it was. So, I thought I’d give this a try and figure it out along the way. As the movie began, I quickly realized — nope, this wasn’t the one I’d seen before. The one I watched as a kid was definitely the very first Jumanji. So, this turned out to be a completely new experience for me. And what made it even more special was that I watched it with my mom — after such a long time. I honestly can’t remember the last time we sat down and watched a full movie together. I’m usually not that into adventure movies, but this time, it was my mom who really wanted to watch one. So, I chose Jumanji: The Next Level, hoping it would be fun for both of us — and I’m so glad I did. We ended up loving it! We laughed, enjoyed the chaos, and even had long, heartwarming conversations after it ended. It was one of those feel-good moments I’ll always cherish. And of course, my comfort characters were Martha and Spencer. Even when they transformed into Ming and Ruby, I still found them incredibly interesting. But what truly hit different was when Spencer — as Ming — transformed into Dr. Bravestone. That moment shifted everything. Bravestone has always been the ideal — strong, calm, and kind of perfect. Pairing him with Ruby, who has always been my absolute favorite in the game and the whole movie, made every scene feel even more magical. Ruby and Bravestone together? They were just the best. Their chemistry made the movie even more beautiful and unforgettable for me. Overall, it was a good experience watching this
