Jungle Cruise seemed like it would be a by the numbers summer blockbuster but instead it wound up being a Mummy/Pirates of the Caribbean esque action/adventure film. The Rock is as charismatic as ever, delivering dad jokes, Emily Blunt just seems to be having fun as does Jack Whitehall, but Jesse Plemons is the one that seems most at ease. Here he trades in his usual stoic and heavy roles for a chance to ham it up(at times reminding me of Joel David Moore's take on Hitler in Chillerama)/ Some fun action set pieces make this feel like a throwback to pre 90s Disney flicks. It actually had me interested in the ride itself.
