Spencer's grandfather Eddie and friend Milo (Danny Glover) inadvertently get sucked into the game. When Martha and their friends, Fridge (Ser'Darius Blain) and Bethany (Madison Iseman), find Spencer missing, they decide to re-enter Jumanji to save him. There, he hopes he can again take on the alpha-male avatar of Dr Smolder Bravestone (Dwayne Johnson). His melancholy resulting from the recent break-up with his girlfriend Martha (Morgan Turner), who moved away for college, leads him to dive back into the game. Spencer (Alex Wolff) repairs the Jumanji video game in the basement of his grandfather Eddie's (Danny DeVito) house. Jumanji: The Next Level is a direct sequel to its 2017 predecessor. In fact, once the players shout out "Jumanji", effectively beating the game, you're probably going to be glad that it's over. Does it live up to the reputation of the original? Not by a long shot. The newest instalment of the franchise shares little with the original film besides the name. And who can forget the unfortunate plight Alan Parish finds himself in as he is sucked into the game for 26 years, returning to find his family dead and the life he had been withheld from well and gone. Even after all these years, I still hold my breath as the die is cast and the game sends mischievous monkeys, carnivorous vines and a stampede of rhinos to test the players' mettle. The first Jumanji still has a fond place in my memory.
