Starting out a year after the first sequel to the original film, this new adventure is strictly for fans of the series. The original cast of video game avatars, Dwayne Johnson, Kevin Hart, Jack Black, Karen Gillian, and Nick Jonas are all back as well as Morgan Turner, Alex Wolf, Madison Iseman, Colin Hanks, and Ser'Darius Blaine as their human counterparts. New cast members for this sequel are Danny Devito, Danny Glover, Awkwafina and Rory McCann.
It's a great cast having a great time , not taking themselves too seriously. While the plot simply takes the game of Jumanji to the next level of difficulty, it is much more sentimental than the first sequel and not quite as humorous. It does have its funny moments, usually at Mr. Johnson's expense but as our heroes move through the game, things get more serious, as the action gets more intense with lots of "eye popping" CGI work.
This is a summer "popcorn" movie for the holidays. Pure escapist fun but it will be confusing for some not familar with the back story. And of course, it leaves the door open for the series to continue in a mid credit scene at the end.
