Jumanji: The Next Level Review - 6 Ups & 4 Downs

By Jack Pooley / December 9, 2019

1. The Sequel Tease Really Works

No spoilers here, but make sure you stick around for at least the film's mid-credits scene, because it provides an unexpectedly compelling setup for the inevitable next movie.

If The Next Level was largely just a rehash of what worked in Welcome to the Jungle, this brief scene quite blatantly implies that the formula will be significantly re-jigged for the next sequel.

Given that simply dining out on this structure yet again could've risked wearing the audience's patience thin, the hinted-at plot for the next Jumanji should wipe the cobwebs away and give the screenwriters a fresh hook to work with.

Fingers are firmly crossed that they actually manage to pull it off.
