Jaume Collet-Serra's Jungle Cruise is an absolute blast from start-to-finish. It's directed with a creative burst of energy that makes the entire film feel like a ride that's fun for all ages, but never insults or doubts your intelligence. Dwayne Johnson and Emily Blunt are the perfect pairing of beauty, brawn and comedy, landing each and every joke, making the entire experience a treat that isn't to be missed this summer. Read more

Jungle Cruise feels a lot like Pirates of the Caribbean, and while it doesn’t have the iconic lead performance that film did to turn it into an instant classic, it’s still a hell of a lot of fun. Read more

At its best, it is a very entertaining ride with fun characters and neat mythological world-building. It is in no way, shape, or form original and it probably won’t age all that well, but it is a fun summer blockbuster popcorn film and that is, ultimately, exactly what it was meant to be. Read more

But even at its most formulaic, there’s enough humor, heart and genuine movie star appeal here to make Jungle Cruise an excursion full of rollicking good fun. Read more

A fun and entertaining old school adventure with engaging characters. Dwayne Johnson carries the film well along with Emily Blunt. Read more

At over 2 hours, it’s a bloated adventure movie that could’ve easily been trimmed down. Overall though it’s entertaining enough for the whole family, though perhaps not for really young kids. Read more

Boasting a chemistry that attempts to mine the best parts of The African Queen – and somewhat succeeding from time to time – Jungle Cruise’s leads help to keep things amusing, even when the story proceeds with a formulaic quality that prevents it from being as original as it could have been.

Look, Jungle Cruise knows exactly what it is, much like the brand of comedy coming from Dwayne’s skipper that’s called out by Blunt’s pragmatic presence. The jokes are corny, the hijinks aim for hilarity, and the spectacle is large. Read more

Fancily decorated, the film also evokes Pirates of the Caribbean, Goonies and Aguirre (just a little due to the presence of the Spanish conquistador), but ends in a cluttered mess devoid of magic, where every attempted thrill becomes ineffective. Read more

Jungle Cruise is een heerlijke authentieke Disney-film vol met actie, avontuur en humor.

Deel één moet het hebben van de bij momenten sprankelende dialogen tussen Blunt en Johnson, terwijl we in deel twee de grote actie 'set pieces' voorgeschoteld krijgen. Dat alles samen maakt van deze film de ideale crowdpleaser voor het hele gezin. Read more

Jungle Cruise is een heerlijke avonturenfilm, ondanks dat deze soms haast dreigt te verzuipen in de digitale toevoegingen. Read more

Zo is er enerzijds ouderwets avontuur, maar zijn alle digitale effecten anderzijds niet altijd overtuigend genoeg. Iets wat toch opvallend genoemd mag worden gezien het flinke budget. Read more

Het is overduidelijk dat Disney met Jungle Cruise het ouderwetse gevoel van avonturenfilms probeert te recreëren en het eindresultaat is deels geslaagd. De soundtrack van James Newton Howard speelt een grote rol hierin, evenals het charisma van Dwayne Johnson, die bijvoorbeeld afgezaagde vadergrappen maakt door de film heen om toeristen aan het lachen te maken.
