When “Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle” debuted back in 2017, the film’s screenwriters Scott Rosenberg and Jeff Pinkner, as well as its director Jake Kasdan, knew they were onto something special. “Welcome to the Jungle” was the next, direct step from the original 1995 film “Jumanji,” which starred Robin Williams. The latest film in the red-hot comedy-fantasy-adventure franchise, ironically titled “Jumanji: The Next Level,” seems much less like the next step as its predecessor was a couple of years ago. It feels relatively like more of the same, but in this case, that’s not necessarily a bad thing.
