Jungle Cruise (2021)
8/10
Disney delivers a mostly swinging comeback during pandemic times.
28 September 2021
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.
