You must save Jumanji and call out its name!!!

My parents and I watched "Jumanji: The Next Level" the other day and it was so good. Honestly, I wouldn't compare it with "Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle" both movies were good in their own way. They both teach you moral lessons, the first movie,"Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle" teaches you about friendship, making friends with people and working as a team, the characters had their own personalities, it was very nice to see different personalities in one movie. One was nerdy, one was a jock, one was the sassy girl, one was the loner. It was so good to see how the characters developed after the first movie.


Let's talk about the first movie, the four were just incredible actors, their acting in the movie was so good. Jack Black can act different personalities since they were stuck on the game (I don't want to spoil for people who haven't watched it yet)  and they became the characters in the game, Jack Black's acting was I would say, spectacular. I was very surprised, he portrayed Bethany so well. Kevin Hart, ah yes, he never disappoints, he and Dwayne were the best duo I've ever seen. Karen Gillan was hilarious as well, her character is far different from her self in the real world but she managed to be the actual character. 

In the game, they had their own strengths and weaknesses. This is the line that Nigel always says "Return the jewel and lift the curse. If you wish to leave the game, you must save Jumanji and call out its name" I've memorised as soon as the NPC (Non-Player Character) "Nigel" said it the second time.
Like what Nigel line says, the players have to return the jewel and once they have returned it or once they have got the jewel they have to call out Jumanji to lift the curse. The genres are adventure, a mix of romance, and friendship.

Characters: 

Dwayne Johnson as "Dr. Smolder Bravstone" - Spencer
Karen Gillan as "Ruby Roundhouse" - Martha
Kevin Hart as "Fraklin Finbar" - Fridge
Jack Black as "Professor Shelly Oberon" - Bethany




The second movie is a bit different, Spencer was a bit different now since he and Martha broke up
He now lives in New York and has a job there. He went back to his mother's place for vacation. He decided to play the game again even though their squad had a pact, to never play the game again. He tried to fix the DVD in order to go back in the game again.  But it was unexpected, the game doesn't really work well since they're destroyed it and it's still not in a great condition. Spencer became a different character instead of getting Dr Bravestone. I'll spare the details because I don't want to spoil. So the whole squad was now in the game along with Spencer's grandpa and his friend "Milo" because they got sucked in the game as well. 
Like I said, the game was not in great condition so they were all not playing the characters they were supposed to be.

The second movies were good in its own way, I laughed a lot but not like the first movie. It was great to see character developments.

I would rate both movies a 10/10, It was great, you learn a lot of lessons from it, both movies gives you a lot of emotions and it was nice to see actors you would never think work together in a movie, 
Dwayne Johnson, Karen Gillan, Kevin Hart, Jack Black = Perfect Combination
