'Jumanji The Next Level': Fun, but more like a bonus round than a next level


"What do you mean you forgot the water rations? You had ONE job!"

One of the most inspired changes of 2017's Jumanji: Welcome To The Jungle was switching the medium of the game itself from a board game in the original novel and 1995 movie, to a video game. It opened up endless possibilities for the story, from creating a whole new world for the 'players' to inhabit, to the comedic potential of the video game avatars that the players inhabit.

As a result, we got Dwayne Johnson's buff action hero Smolder Bravestone controlled by a timid geek; a tough college football player stuck in the body of Kevin Hart's pint-sized, cake-allergic backpack carrier Mouse, and Jack Black channeling his inner high school cheerleader.
