Jungle Cruise (2021)

 


Director: Jaume Collet-Serra. Cast: Dwayne Johnson, Emily Blunt, Edgar Ramírez,  Jesse Plemons, Paul Giamatti. 127 min. Adventure/Fantasy.

  • Is it fair to compare every shark movie to Jaws? Is it fair to compare every Indiana Jones movie to Indiana Jones, and then call it mediocre because nothing can ever out-Indy, Indy? Because that's what's happening here - with a touch of Pirates of the Caribbean here (hey ... it's another Disney ride), a taste of African Queen there, and eventually, a certified copy of Indy and the Last Crusade, down to the very last scene.
  • CGI effects just don't work. They're not believable! (Yes, the fiction emanating from the old Indy trilogy's practical effects was "believable".)
  • Paul Giammati plays an orange-faced tycoon. Hmmmmm ...
  • You need to hand it to him: Jesse Plemons does a good job on every villain he plays.
  • Jungle Cruise 2? Of course there'll be a Jungle Cruise 2.
