Jungle Run

I love B movies, but this is more like an F movie. I could not find not one redeeming quality. The worst thing is the acting, which is atrocious, and the worst of the worst is the fake german accent of the captain.

I had to fight myself to watch it until the end ...

I knew this was gonna be bad when piranhas start eating huge boat and then a herd of poison dart frogs attack our explorers, but they're the size of bullfrogs!! All the characters are annoying especially the brother and sister looking for their father. The CGI creatures are ridiculous, as bad or worse than SciFy channel movies.

Could tell it was low budget from the start. I'm all about watching a "bad" movie for entertainment but this one had me shaking my head. I especially laughed at the girl leaving her brother to be eaten by a huge croc and walking on as though it never happened. Hilarious cg also.

Right, well with this movie being a mockbuster from The Asylum, chances were most likely that I was in for something dubious. But still, I opted to sit down and watch the 2021 movie "Jungle Run" on the odd chance that the movie would be entertaining, as once every now and again The Asylum does spew out something good.

Well, "Jungle Run" was watchable, but it wasn't one of the better movies from The Asylum. What went wrong here was the storyline, as it was just too shallow and lacking a deeper and profound core essence to it. So you're not in for something as grand as "Jungle Cruise", the movie that "Jungle Run" is a blantant copy of, have no doubts about it.

It should be said that the CGI and effects in "Jungle Run" was actually not bad for it being a movie from The Asylum. So the movie did have that working for it, despite of having a lack of a properly written storyline. It felt like writer Marc Gottlieb was just rushing through it here to get it done by deadline, so things felt half-hearted and rushed.

The acting in "Jungle Run" was adequate for most parts. However, given the inadequate writing, then the characters in the movie's script were just not particularly interesting. And that meant that the actors and actresses didn't have all that much to work with.

While I did manage to sit through the entire movie, I was only mildly entertained by director Noah Luke's movie. Which results in the movie landing a less than mediocre four out of ten stars.

So worse for editing, and worse for storyline. I can't stand for the story editing. And I even can't understand the whole story. Worse than my expectations.
