It’s time for the final Jumanji – The Next Level trailer, starring Kevin Hart, Nick Jonas, Dwayne Johnson and Jack Black.
I want to find out if the movie will have me as slightly confused as this trailer. I’m in for the jokes, adventure, plus Hart and Johnson’s beautiful bromance.
Awkwafina, Karen Gillan, Alex Wolff, Danny Glover, Madison Iseman, Danny DeVito, Colin Hanks, Ser’Darius Blain and Rhys Darby also star.
Fast & Furious Presents – Hobbs & Shaw (2019), Jason Statham
I personally haven’t watched a Fast & Furious movie in a very long time because I was never overly enthused by them. The main reason I tuned in to Fast & Furious Presents – Hobbs & Shaw is the fun trailer and its main star, Dwayne Johnson. Another reason is the promise of entertaining brotherly banter between Johnson’s Hobbs and Jason Statham’s Shaw, because they’re forced to work together.
My experience with the older Fast & Furious movies I’ve seen prepared me to not expect anything more than some action-packed, yet light, entertaining fun. As such, when I found myself thinking: ‘It’s OK but I feel as though something’s missing’, that ‘something’ being depth and notable acting, I was neither mad nor surprised.
I did enjoy the chemistry between Statham and Johnson. I just wish that a fair amount of the amusing quips between the two weren’t used up in the trailer. What stands out most for me in Hobbs & Shaw is a very well-executed and captured stunt or two or three. One of them is the motorbike under the truck manoeuvre.
Other key highlights include, the characters played by Ryan Reynolds and Kevin Hart. I also loved that gorgeous ring on Helen Mirren’s character’s finger. It certainly stole almost all of my attention during the prison visit scene.
As for the less memorable aspects of Hobbs & Shaw, they would be me finding Idris Elba’s villainy to be OK rather than great. There’s also the matter of the first two songs that played once the movie started – not the best choice in my humble opinion.
There’s indeed some fun to be had with director David Leitch’s action/adventure, just remember not to expect too much, and enjoy the stunts.
Jungle Cruise (2020), Emily Blunt,Dwayne Johnson, Walt Disney Studios
Dwayne Johnson, Emily Blunt, Jesse Plemons and Jack Whitehall are the stars of Jungle Cruise, a new fantasy/adventure based on Disneyland’s theme park ride.
A ride where a small riverboat takes a group of travellers through a jungle filled with dangerous animals, reptiles, and there’s some supernatural activity.
This looks like quite a fun cross between Tarzan and Jumanji. Also, just yesterday I was thinking, ‘I haven’t seen Emily Blunt in a while.’ And now, just like that. Here she is. Happy me!
Paul Giamatti, Edgar Ramírez, Veronica Falcón, Andy Nyman, Raphael Alejandro, Mark Ashworth and Quim Gutiérrez also star.
Dwayne Johnson, Karen Gillan, Kevin Hart and Jack Black return for Jumanji – The Next Level, a sequel to 2017’s rather popular Jumanji – Welcome To The Jungle.
Directed by Jake Kasdan, this time when the friends are back in Jumanji, the team realise that things are quite different within the world’s most dangerous game.
This looks as though it’ll be fun. I like the twist and look forward to more of Hart speaking like Danny Glover.
Madison Iseman, Awkwafina, Danny DeVito, Colin Hanks, Alex Wolff, Nick Jonas, Danny Glover, Ser’Darius Blain and Rhys Darby also star.
In Fast & Furious Presents – Hobbs & Shaw, a spinoff of The Fate Of The Furious, Dwayne Johnson and Jason Statham’s characters, Luke Hobbs and Deckard Shaw form an unlikely alliance.
Directed by David Leitch, Fast & Furious Presents – Hobbs & Shaw also stars Idris Elba, Vanessa Kirby and Joe Anoa’i.
I just really want to find out how well this spinoff and the chemistry between Johnson and Statham will work out. So far, based on this trailer, it’s looking like fun.
