If you like adventure movies like Indiana Jones, Romancing The Stone, Jewel Of The Nile, Jumanji and others in this genre you can't go wrong with Jungle Cruise. It's the same entertainment, a bit over the top, not always making sense, but that's hardly the point with these kind of movies. It's just a bit of fun. To me it's very relaxing to watch these kind of popcorn movies. The Rock or Dwayne Johnson might not be the greatest actor but I think he fits in this genre. He's okay to watch in non serious movies. Emily Blunt did a good job as well as did the rest of the cast. The CGI's were more than decent, they clearly had a big budget for these parts in the movie. Jungle Cruise is perfect to watch as a family movie or if you're just a big fan of easy adventure.

Acting was very good. Story: a bit cliche. Not boring. It's very good for family and kids. If you want to spend good time then this is a good one. I watched it big screen and will recommend others to watch it in movie halls. The experience will be good.

Was going to give it a 5 if not for the talented Emily Blunt who always makes things better. As always chemistry is on point with whatever actor she teams up with and Johnson is no exception. It is mostly fun but the story is iffy and yes there is memories of Pirates and The Mummy all throughout. The rating here on IMDb is pretty much spot on, audience on RT has inflated it to over 90 which it is not. Just have fun with it. I feel like the sequel which they have announced will be just a money grab. I won't be in a rush to see it.

Jungle Cruise is an adaptation of a Disney Park ride that I can barely remember going to and I have been to both Disney parks in the USA.

It also has five writers with various screenplay credits.

Dwayne Johnson plays Frank. A down on his luck river boat captain who takes tourists for a ride in the Amazon.

He is hired by adventurer Lily (Emily Blunt) and her uptight brother MacGregor Houghton (Jack Whitehall) who are on the search for the Tears of the Moon. The petals of a tree of life that can cure any illness. The Spanish were in search for it about 400 years earlier.

Set in 1916, Lily finds that German Prince Joachim (Jesse Plemons) is also in pursuit at a time when the nations are at war. However Lily finds that Frank is a man who is hard to trust and he is full of cheesy jokes.

This comedy adventure is a mish mash of previous movies. I found it more Romancing the Stone mixed with the Brendan Fraser The Mummy movies. There is also a hint of the Pirate of the Caribbean franchise.

It harks back to two decades earlier when Disney were adapting their theme park rides rather than superhero movies or remaking their old cartoons as live action films.

Jungle Cruise is a colourful romp that lacks originality.

Quite good and balanced action and adventure film with mix of comedy.

OK'ish background story, maybe a little too much of a fantasy side for my taste, but sure will work just fine for younger viewers.

Jungle Cruise is the latest Disney live-action film. The director is Jaume Collet-Serra, who directed many entertaining Liam Neeson action flicks. Glad to say, the direction is gorgeous here.

Despite being type-casted, Dwayne Johnson gives a very likable and charming performance. His character and Emily Blunt's scientist character is the best aspect of Jungle Cruise. Their chemistry is very enjoyable.

Now there are some dumb Disney jokes, obviously for younger audience to have fun. The jokes are mostly presented by the comic relief character, McGregor.

The three main cast work well, but unfortunately not the villains. There are 2 groups of villains, one is the Germans, the other one is some supernatural trope of people. Why can't there just be one?

The film asks you to believe a lot of things. There's a certain thing explored about a character in the 2nd act that just didn't work for me. You'll know what I'm talking about when you see it.

The movie at times feel like a Disney ride, which is its source material. Jungle Cruise is perfect for people who want a CGI-filled fun ride.

Partly inspired by Raiders of the Lost Ark and The African Queen as well as the Disney Parks' famous ride this movie is named after, Jungle Cruise is way too much exposition though things are kept hopping during most of its running time. Dwayne Johnson and Emily Blunt (along with the person playing the latter's brother) take us on a mostly enjoyable ride to whatever they're looking for. My movie theatre-working friend enjoyed this much more than I did but I liked it fine for what it was. Some of the most enjoyable parts were Johnson's corny puns. So that's a partial recommendation of Jungle Cruise.

Jungle Cruise is a delightfully fun adventure film that finds a compelling, if uneven, swing between old-fashioned adventure cinema and the modern blockbuster mechanics of films like Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle or the post-Pirates of the Caribbean crusades from Disney. Dwayne Johnson is as charming as ever, and assisting him are the company of Emily Blunt and Jack Whitehall. Blunt has been apparently finding her path in Hollywood with well-crafted popcorn entertainment and more thoughtful films like A Quiet Place; I certainly hope she continues to go down this path of success.

By the way, if Metallica was going to license 'Nothing Else Matters' to any composer to cover it for a Disney picture, Jungle Cruise definitely makes the most sense.

Grade- 3/4 stars.

Trust me , I really wanted to enjoy this movie but as the movie kept going i just couldn't ... The movie had its moments , there are some solid scenes but the movie didn't feel fresh. Inspite of a solid cast and amazing visuals i personally couldn't stop yawing after a certain point. This movie is very similar to Pirates of the Caribbean, if Johnny depp had acted in the place of Dwayne Johnson this movie Would have been Pirates of the Caribbean 6. To me this movie was a big disappointment.

Jungle Cruise was more of a movie than I could have anticipated, it was much better than expected. Dwayne Johnson plays Frank, a steamboat captain who resembles Humphrey Bogart, which I believe was done purposefully. The story and settings made me think of a movie mashup of Jumanji and Pirates of the Caribbean. The only thing missing was Johnny Depp, but with his current legal issues, he may not be in too many Disney films going forward. Time will tell.

However, for a film based on a theme park ride, Jungle Cruise is right up there with the original Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl. It was a fun watch, hardly ever boring. On another note though, the acting could have been better. It felt as though Emily Blunt was just phoning in her lines, like she really didn't care. Johnson, I felt out acted her. Disney has a winner on their hands with Jungle Cruise, but hopefully they won't overdo it with umpteen sequels!

Perfect duo Dwayne and Emily, they were perfect for these roles and bought many comedic moments to the film. The action was great, well worth experiencing this on the big screen as I did. Only issue was the plot is very repetitive as in they need to find something that will help everyone etc, we've seen it in heaps of other films, so nothing special plot wise. I did see many resemblances to films such as raiders of the lost ark and the first pirates of the Caribbean film, which were great films to base ideas off of for this film around many aspects such as the adventure side of the film and the comedy. Overall it was an exciting and funny big screen adventure.

Family really looking forward to this. All completely lost interest. My 10 year old even said "I don't think there should be jungle cruise 2"! Think that sums up our opinion on this film.

Well, I thought it was a poor version of Pirates of the Caribbean! The use of current go to actors was it's main selling points. I did find it entertaining in its own way. But to me it was people trying to manipulate a known theme! Graphics were a bit scitchy in some places as well.

Dwayne Johnson and Emily Blunt are their usual, hugely enjoyable selves and even Jack Whitehall isn't particularly annoying. The story zips along pleasantly enough, delivering all the necessary action as it does so and, before you know it, two hours have passed agreeably enough. And that's about it, really...

You can't help but enjoy everything while it's happening but, once done, there's not an awful lot left on the bones to pick over. Hollywood being what it is, I'm sure a sequel is in the works. There really shouldn't be. They just barely managed to make this initial movie work, trying to repeat that process will, on the evidence of what we have here, be a very risky endeavour. Leave well alone and move on to the next Disneyland attraction would be my advice. Jason Statham in It's A Small World, anyone...?

Kudos, by the way, for the excellent use of Metallica's "Nothing Else Matters"....

I miss judged this movie from the trailers. The Rock and Emily both did a great job with their characters. This movie is to have a good time with a few laughs here and there. Was able to see this early at the exclusive Hollywood Premier at the El Capitan theater.

This was a fun time watching, I loved Dwayne Johnson and Emily Blunt's dynamic and their chemistry together on the adventure.

The cinematography in the jungle is really pretty and makes really cool shots, the effects looked pretty real and worked well with the scenes they are used in.

The action scenes are really fun and there are funny scenes with the characters also the human villains are a little over the top but I still was entertained, the actual CGI creatures had creepy designs and worked well against the main characters.

This movie made me think of the Pirates of the Caribbean movies and a bit of the Indiana Jones movies put together, and I mean that in a good way.

Went and watched on the big screen with some friends and had a blast! Good comedy, storyline, and adventure! Definitely would recommend 👍

The movie was greater then I expected it to be. I thought it was going to be boring but it was very interesting.

Do you know how I know 2021 is so far away from 1999? Simple. The writers of this movie thought we'd all forgotten about "The Mummy (1999)"

Funny thing, the Mummy 3 (which was a flop) ended with a "sequel joke" saying they found mummies in mexico. Guess the writers of this film didn't take the joke as it was meant to be.

Because apparently everyone forgot the very popular blockbuster this movie is absolutely ripping off. It's literally the same story, instead of rivers of sand, an actual river.

Starting off with Blunt, the heroine with an adventurous passion and a very obnoxious brother who is incapable of doing anything except whine who is even dressed exactly like the one they ripped off. Hat and all.

Then there's the villian, who is a superpowered person trapped in time, who someone from its caste is trying to revive with magical powers the people of the world don't believe in.

Then, the big gun comes along. He has some problems with the unfair local Jefe, and he needs money, and is using the heroine to save him. They need a guide! And they find a good looking funny Hero of the story who becomes the main protagonist.

I'm not gonna give out any spoilers, However if you watched the Mummy, just superimpose the faces of the new actors over the old ones. That's pretty much a spoiler though right?

So just do yourselves a favour, go in your old DVD rack , or your parents, there is bound to be a copy of The mummy. Put it in a DVD player, and put a couple of plants on the TV.

I literally made this account just for this.

A -BIG- Screen Full Length Review. Viewed Aug.09, 2021.

Frank Wolff : "Hey , McGregor! . . . Had a girlfriend once, she was cross-eyed. Didn't work out. We could never see eye to eye!".

______________________________________________________

1. " What A Ride 👏❗" : This is a journey filled with Colour, Beauty, Awe, Drama, "Massive"-Spectacle, But -Most- Of All, { " HUMOUR . . . & HEART " }. Now, I like to think of myself as a person who has a ( -fairly- ) high bar when it comes to the 'funnies', so I just -have- to say, Dwayne Johnson's 'Frank Wolff' delivers -So many- ..."genuinely" Ribtickling Spur-Of-The-Moment puns... in Jungle Cruise ( 'JC', for short ) ; that I -honestly- couldn't help but get "Drawn-in", & to the fullest, at that . . . . almost 'Every-darn-time'. Not to mention all the masterfully executed -Slapstick- humour 😂 { a little taste of which is in the movie's -"Official Trailer 1"- ( August '20 ) }. All in all, expect Two-hours-and-seven-minutes of Non-stop, "Lavish" . . . . Wholesome -{ Family }- Entertainment.

2. So, Does He Still Charm, Endear, & Delight ? Short answer : -{ Yes }- . . . . he can, & -Does- , still well and truly "ROCK" The Boat. -{ However }- I sincerely urge you not to expect any particularly 'Oscar-worthy' sort of performance from The Man himself, Mr. Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. Meaning -things like- you're just going to get the 'Same old', run-of-the-mill American Accent from him yet again, despite him playing the role of, get this, a -Spaniard- . . . Living in -Brazil- . { To be -Entirely- fair, this was almost ( certainly ) a directorial-Call by the picture's absolutely " OUTSTANDING 🌠 " Director, Jaume Collet-Serra ; for reasons I -Shan't- disclose, so as to not give anything away }. So anyways, I'm just going to recommend that you go to the cinema -{ Expecting }- to see him put in a "Thorough & Dedicated Performance", with a few "impressive" surprises sprinkled into the mix, for what it's worth. And inasmuchas the sister-brother duo of Emily Blunt's 'Lily Houghton' & Jack Whitehall's 'MacGregor Houghton' are concerned, ready yourself for an incredibly -{ FUN }- journey with these two effusive, "Mega-Talented Stars" and veterans of the Film and Telivision business, ( respectively ). In the " nascently Post-Victorian 🎩 " setting of JC, you are likely to find these two characters to be -Nothing- less than sheerly Affable, Charming, & Indeed Just, " All Around . . . . DELIGHTFUL ".

3. "Jesse Lon Plemmons" Was The Marvellous "Shock" : of this huge, exciting movie { well for -Me- ateast, that is to say }. He portrays the Tyrannically-Monstrous German "Prince Joachim : your worst nightmare straight outta World War 1" in Jungle Cruise ; and in real life he's the partner to bubbly, adorable, global Giga-star, Kirsten Dunst. So here's the thing. Not much having been a big afficionado -for the most part at least- of the whole 'Breaking Bad' craze, { arguably Jesse's first 'Really, Really' big-break ( as 'Todd Alquist', 11 Episodes., 2012-2013 ) }, I'd somehow managed to let his " WHOPPING 🔥❗" Sixty-three Acting Role Career, to date, somehow slip under the radar ; with the -Sole- exception being his -Relatively- "diminutive" ( yet 'tremendously' enjoyable ) part as the -genuinely- likeable "Jimmy 'Ordy' Ord" in 2012's massive blockbuster, 'Battleship'. And Now, to see him { seemingly } "come out of nowhere", take on this 'Way' larger-than-life kind of part ; & play it with Utter, Consummate -{ " CLASS " }- . . . . oh, & don't even get me -started- about his -fabulously- performed German Accent. Suffice to say that his portrayal of the aforementioned -and entirely fictitious- "Evil megalomaniacal occultist" Prince, was executed well . . . -{ " IMMACULATELY " }- .

Summation : Indeed, had it not been for -all- the pretty gross out -{ " OVERKILL " }- Mud, Slime, and the -hundreds- , literally , of Bugs & Bees -In- Said Slime, ( the aforementioned trailer -Will- , b.t.w , be able to give you a small, but 'succinct', flavour of this ) . . . I might just have given this film my { "trademark" } 12 , or -"Even 13!" - , marks out of 10, reserved "Exclusively" for films that I 'Very, Very wholeheartedly' enjoy. However, as that stuff -{ DID }- actually bother me a fair bit, ( " Sorry, but that's just -ME- " ) . . . It's going to remain a 'Solid 10 Marks Out Of 10' . So, umm, still " not too shabby , eh " . . . . . " Wouldn't 'Ya Reckon 😅 💥❓" .

Well, the 2021 adventure movie "Jungle Cruise" is a definite must watch movie if you enjoy movies that have Dwayne Johnson in it.

I sat down to watch this 2021 Disney movie with a certain amount of expectations to it, since it was both a Disney movie, but also had Dwayne Johnson on the cast list. I think he is very well-cut, pardon the pun, for the adventure movie genre.

And he doesn't disappoint in "Jungle Cruise", let me just say that right away. Yup, he is so well-cast for this movie and really carries it phenomenally with his performance and that particular character.

The storyline told in "Jungle Cruise", as written by Michael Green, Glenn Ficarra, John Requa, John Norville, Josh Goldstein and Glenn Ficarra definitely was a very entertaining one. And it was the type of storyline that quickly picks you up from the very beginning and takes you along with it for quite the thrill ride throughout the jungle. I was expecting it to be good, but I must admit that the story actually turned out to be way more interesting and detailed than I had anticipated.

Visually then "Jungle Cruise" is just spectacular. The jungle really offers a lot to look at, and just makes for a grand setting for the movie. But also things like the wardrobe, props, etc. Were really spot on and very detailed, adding a lot to the movie.

The CGI in the movie was good, but of course with this being Disney, why wouldn't it be? And the jaguar pet really was a nice touch to the movie.

"Jungle Cruise" definitely has a good cast. Of course Dwayne Johnson is the main attraction and he carries the movie so wonderfully. I wasn't initially thrilled about it being Emily Blunt to co-star alongside Dwayne Johnson, but she really put on a great performance and I liked her in this movie. It was really nice to see Paul Giamatti in the movie, and he had a wonderful character here, just a shame that he wasn't given more on-screen time.

If you get the chance to watch director Jaume Collet-Serra's "Jungle Cruise", you must do so. Especially if you enjoy family movies and adventure movies. So if you enjoyed movies like "The Goonies", "Indiana Jones", "Journey 2: The Mysterious Island", etc. Then you most certainly will also enjoy "Jungle Cruise".

This is a movie that I can warmly recommend you sit down to watch.

I am rating "Jungle Cruise" a well-deserved seven out of ten stars.

Watched this with my children. There are no kids in the film which seems odd for a kids film. This has none of the heart of the recent jumanji films, which were excellent.

Jungle cruise has far too much CGI and a lot of action that's hard to care about given the poor character development.

I found it incredibly boring and disappointing.

Unfortunately I couldn't recommend this to anyone.

Very typical and cliche Disney movie, nothing too fresh really, just all felt really familiar. The dialogues, the action sequences, what happens next, cinematography, forced romantic feelings shown, a useless kiss scene...literally all the same formula. Besides visuals and atmosphere, it's not the best. It also felt really dragged on, definitely could've shortened the run time. One time watch at best with family. Mainly watchable for visuals and family audiences.

This movie is in the same spirit as movies of the past such as the Mummy, Indiana Jones, and so on. It's three main stars shine in their roles and have great chemistry not seen in too many movies nowadays. Action is good and story is actually somewhat original! For a movie based off a ride, this is a damn good movie. Just know what ship you're about to sail.

P. S sorry for that last pun.
