Jumanji: The Next Level is, simply put, just not as next level as its 2017 predecessor. But despite being a messier sequel that is sometimes too happy to just rehash what came before, it is still quite a fun blockbuster experience. And you have Dwayne Johnson doing a Danny DeVito impersonation, which should be worth the price of admission alone.
