Jungle Cruise

Jungle Cruise packs in everything satisfying about an adventure movie, with some of its own twists.

Led by the delightful pairing of Emily Blunt and Dwayne Johnson, Jungle Cruise knows how to enjoy itself, even if the journey is a bit overstuffed.

Director Jaume Collet-Serra creates a romp of a picture booby-trapped with adventure movie tropes (arcane curses, snakes, evil Germans) which, while they might seem familiar to Indiana Jones fans, still combine to make for a decent family flick.

It’s something closer to an amusement-park attraction named Generic Blockbuster Cruise, where you slowly glide past a bunch of prefab set-ups — over there you’ll see some thrills, look out on your right for some spills and chills — and the whole thing moves inexorably forward on a track, while a skipper cracks the same corny jokes.

This is an untaxing, big-budget summer popcorn movie for the whole family. Like the ride itself, it requires no more mental engagement than you would devote to any theme park visit (excluding the thrill rides, which actually raise a pulse.)

Jungle Cruise is a two-hour movie that has far less consequence than a ride that’s a small fraction of that length. The experience the film more accurately simulates is the standing in line: all that tedious waiting in the heat for the fun to start.

To their credit, by the time the movie ends, Blunt and Johnson have made the sale. I believed them and liked seeing them together. They don’t make Jungle Cruise worth seeing or even worth tolerating. But for scattered minutes across this wasteland, they make it less painful.

Fun, vibrant and endlessly entertaining. There wasn't a moment of this film that I didn't enjoy.

Sua embarcação não é tão resistente quanto algumas das aventuras clássicas às quais é devedor, mas o Jungle Cruise continua sendo uma viagem divertida e familiar

There's a certain thing explored about a character in the 2nd act that just didn't work for me. Jungle Cruise is perfect for people who want a CGI-filled fun ride.

The plot and the setting would also be interesting although the film genre remains quite classic, but the development and the scenes are often banal and childish, it tries to be a nice film in a too forced way and it bores during its development without ever managing to convey that atmosphere of mystery and adventure that it should have proposed.

Ortalama altı bir yapım. Her yaşa da hitap etmiyor bence. Tavsiye etmiyorum.
