'Jumanji: The Next Level' is a silly sequel that may be wacky enough to hold its own against 'Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker' at the box office

Two crossed lines that form an 'X'. It indicates a way to close an interaction, or dismiss a notification."Jumanji: The Next Level" is the sequel to the 2017 box-office hit, "Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle."

"Jumanji: The Next Level" brings us back into the video game with a brand-new mission and new characters to root for. We find out that Spencer actually kept the broken game, and once he's home, instead of meeting up with his friends, he gets the game working again and is sucked back in. His friends go after him, as well as Spencer's grandfather, Eddie and his friend, Milo .

So director Jake Kasdan has cleared the first hurdle in staying away from a stale sequel: he's brought some changes to the existing characters. Hart is hilarious playing Mouse in the form of a laid back Danny Glover. Johnson is tasked with having to play up the wacky as DeVito, which can try your patience at times, but for the most part is entertaining.
