![]() No one stays in one avatar for long, and no complaints about the always-welcome Awkwafina showing up as a cat burglar named Ming. But there are major comedy benefits, such as hearing Johnson imitating the voice of De Vito and fast-talking Hart slowing it down to a crawl to mimic one-word-at-a-time Glover. Jumanji: The Next Level often feels like it needs a instruction manual. Plus, the game zaps in two senior citizens: Danny De Vito as Spencer’s grouchy grandpop Eddie and Danny Glover as Eddie’s estranged business partner Milo. It was a hoot seeing nerdy Spencer in the body of Johnson, and Black purring like a teenage girl.įor Round Two, the filmmakers play mix-and-match with the avatars, giving nearly everyone a chance to try on a different alter ego. Smolder Bravestone (Johnson), zoologist Franklin “Moose” Finbar (Hart), Professor Shelly Oberon (Black) and bare-midriff commando Ruby Roundhouse (Gillan). Remember last time when four teens - Spencer (Alex Wolff), his shy girlfriend Martha (Morgan Turner), football hero Fridge (Ser’Darius Blain) and digital princess Bethany (Madison Iseman) - nearly got themselves killed? They’d entered the Jumanji video game and wound up in the bodies of adult avatars, such as muscled explorer Dr. The attitude of The Next Level, spearheaded by returning director Jake Kasdan and screenwriters Jeff Pinkner and Scott Rosenberg, is that if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. The reboot cast, again headed by Dwayne Johnson, Kevin Hart, Karen Gillan and the devilish Jack Black, are still fun company - you could do way worse if you’re looking for a comic blast for the holidays. No sense putting the knock on this sequel to 2017’s Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle, which blew the cobwebs off the 1995 version starring Robin Williams.
