"JUNGLE CRUISE" is the first movie Ive seen at the Cinema since the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic, Going in I didnt have massively high expectations, but seeing as I thoroughly enjoyed the similar in tone "PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN" & "NATIONAL TREASURE" series of films, in which the former (like Jungle Cruise) is based on a Disneyland ride, I expected 90 minutes or so of high adventure and family fun.
"JUNGLE CRUISE" stars Dwayne Johnson in one of his IMHO most likeable performances as a Captain of a riverboat who takes a scientist with modern, feminist views (Emily Blunt) along with her Brother (Jack Whitehall) on a journey through the jungle in search of the tree of life.
At least $200M was thrown at this flick and every penny shows - it looks great, the SFX are really well rendered, if slightly overused If im being picky, its also very easy to pick holes in an relatively weak screenplay. But this is really by-the-by, Jungle Cruise is an enormously enjoyable Disney adventure flick and its nice to see Disney portraying a character who is subtly hinted to be LGBT.
Possibly down to the Worldwide Pandemic thus far Jungle Cruise hasnt perhaps been the smash-out-of-the-park blockbuster hit it might have been Pre-covid, but Disney is more often than not great at this type of flick and gets two thumbs up from me.
