If you were an asthmatic, insecure teen who had once been able to have adventures in the body of The Rock, what are the odds you'd be content to return to your old life forever? Even if it meant risking death mightn't you go back for one more taste of impossible masculinity?, in which a mysterious magic videogame once more transforms four teens into — well, not necessarily into the intrepid jungle explorers they became in 2017's franchise-starter, but something like that.
Once they realize what he's done, and believing he's unlikely to survive Jumanji alone, his friends agree to enter the game as well. Inadvertently, they leave Bethany behind, instead pulling both Eddie and his old estranged friend Milo in with them. Any viewer not quite clear on how this you-become-the-game magic works can rest easy: When two septuagenarians get transformed into avatars in a real-world videogame, the kids they're with must explain things to them many, many times.
A large part of the first film's pleasure came from watching adult actors, very sure in their screen personae, pretend to be children who were awed by their new bodies and abilities. This time around, that getting-to-know-you phase is much less fun. Jack Black's attempt to channel the speech patterns of a twentyish black man won't sit well with everyone in the audience ; but in comedic terms, Johnson's take on a kvetching grandfather falls flatter.
Given how well the film does with giant, totally imaginary action scenes like this, it's disappointing that FX artists don't try a little harder to make small-scale moments look real. The acrobatic exploits of Ruby Roundhouse, for instance, look distractingly fake at times. Maybe that's deliberate, given that this is after all a videogame — but it's not at the same level of believable rendering we see elsewhere.
