Dwayne Johnson has led several blockbuster franchises, but his time in "Jumanji: The Next Level" may very well be one of his most dynamic turns as an action star. Although he still rocks his typical attire — a tan shirt and cargo pants — as the video game character Dr. Xander "Smolder" Bravestone, Johnson has the unique challenge of evoking the personality of the person controlling him. In the first film, it was Alex Wolff's nerdy protagonist Spencer Gilpin, but in "The Next Level," Johnson has to personify that character's grandfather, Eddie, played by Danny DeVito. The result is undeniably entertaining, pushing Johnson to the limits as an actor and comedic talent.
DeVito, an acting juggernaut in his own right, is a delight in the "Jumanji" sequel. Playing the stereotypical out-of-touch grandfather, DeVito is a breath of fresh air in the newly-rebooted franchise. But when his character takes over the video game avatar,...

Jake Kasdan’s action-comedy “Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle” was an unexpected smash in 2016, and with good cause. The film was a smart, exciting blockbuster that used video-game mechanics to tell an uplifting power fantasy.
After all, “Jumanji” asked, what are most video games if not a transportive experience, in which the player takes on powers and abilities beyond their own? And if that experience was literal, instead of merely simulated, how incredible would that be?
Kasdan’s sequel, “Jumanji: The Next Level” adds an all-new question to the franchise, and it’s surprisingly bleak: What happens after you come back from that empowering fantasy world and return to a humdrum life filled with all your old depressions and anxieties? “The Next Level” posits that life might have been hard before, but it can be borderline unlivable if you know there’s a better one waiting for you in a...
