The avatars need to use their unique abilities to pass each dangerous level, until one of them snatches an all-powerful jewel from a generic bad guy and everyone goes home.Īll of this describes both Welcome to the Jungle and The Next Level. After that, you’re dead in both the game and in real life. The real people enter the bodies of four playable characters: Smoldering action hero literally named Smolder Bravestone (Dwayne Johnson), zoologist/inventory holder Mouse (Kevin Hart), Lara Croft knock-off Ruby Roundhouse, and antsy cartographer Professor Sheldon (Jack Black). It was a family-friendly fantasy/adventure about a magical videogame that sucked real people into its exotic and dangerous world, and forced them to finish it. 2017’s Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle, a soft sequel/reboot of 1995’s Jumanji, was a surprise hit.
Anything new that it brings to the table is so minimal that it rides the fine line between a sequel and a remake. Jumanji: The Next Level joins the ranks of Die Hard 2, Home Alone 2, and The Hangover Part II as a sequel that clones the structure, story beats, jokes and popular moments of the box-office hit that preceded it.
