Movie Review: Jumanji (3) The Next Level
Let me start out by saying I really enjoyed the film. Critics are giving it about a 70% which is not bad and audiences are giving it 90% which is very good, so I’ll go with the audience score which I think is reasonable. I’m a big fan of the Jumanji series. The first one is the one to beat, like other great series such as Terminator, Highlander, Rocky, Godfather, the first one is always the one to beat. I liked the second Jumanji film and it would be tough to watch this one without having seen the second one, but I really loved this film. I thought it was a lot of fun and had a great all star cast.

It was good seeing Rory McCann best known for portraying Sandor “The Hound” Clegane on the HBO series Game of Thrones in this film. A stand-out for me was one of my favorite actresses, Nora Lum who is Awkwafina!!! She does a spot impersonation of Danny DeVito for half the film which was terrific!!! Lots of great scenery, story line and a hint at the next film. World Class entertainment. I give it 4 1/2 stars out of 5, that keeps it in line with the audience scores. Later gators!!
