Adventure. Fantasy. Comedy. Action This time, they get sent back into the game but the characters are switched - different people end up with the same avatars from the first one. But where is everyone else? We'll have to play to find out exactly what's going on here.

	Author	Review
United States	Scott Mendelson Forbes	"A surprisingly good sequel to a surprisingly good sequel"	POS
United States	John DeFore The Hollywood Reporter	"This installment is a clear case of diminishing returns, but enjoyable action set pieces and a surprise or two near the end should keep parental grousing to a minimum."	NEU
United Kingdom	Ben Travis Empire	If Welcome To The Jungle flourished with bright ideas and broad comic performances, this sequel brings more of both (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Peter Debruge Variety	"The storytelling may be sloppy in parts, but the cast’s collective charisma more than compensates. As the saying goes: Don’t hate the players, hate the game."	NEU
United States	Don Kaye Den of Geek	"There are some genuinely exciting moments (...) and a few good laughs as well. It’s as slight as the last film, and leaves some interesting ideas unexplored, but it will serve as popcorn fare for families (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United Kingdom	Tim Grierson Screendaily	"'Welcome To The Jungle' is undone by the same deficiencies that hamper other franchise follow-ups: it’s less fresh, less funny and less of a fun time all around"	NEG
United States	Kate Erbland IndieWire	"A fitting followup, and while not as original as its predecessors, makes a strong claim for the series to keep earning extra lives."	POS
United Kingdom	Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"Jumanji’s next level is rather satisfying (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Josh Spiegel SlashFilm	"Often fun, but a big step down from the first one"	NEU
United States	William Bibbiani The Wrap	"Amusing and creative. It may not follow its storylines to the most logical conclusions, and it may not reinvent the action movie as we know it. It’s still an enjoyable blockbuster"	POS
United States	Matt Goldberg Collider	"Instead of taking some big creative swings and pushing the video game tropes further, you have Dwayne Johnson and Kevin Hart talking like old men. That’s pretty much it."	NEG
United States	Jenna Busch IGN	"[It] is a blast (...) What seems like something that is going to be a tired retread turns out to be far more fun than expected."	POS
United Kingdom	Huw Fullerton Radio Times	"Another funny, action-packed and satisfying piece of popcorn filmmaking (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United Kingdom	Clarisse Loughrey The Independent	"[It] does get close to matching the charms of the first film – but only in the final reel, when you can sense the credits about to roll. By then it’s already game over (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEG
Canada	Molly Freeman Screen Rant	"[It] is largely a retread of the previous film, but some new, fun elements contribute to an exciting & uproarious adventure sequel (…) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 5)"	POS
Ireland	Deirdre Molumby entertainment.ie	"[It] is about the same amount of fun as its predecessor (...) but also feel somewhat slighted by the lack of creativity as, at its heart, it’s the same formula all over again (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
