Jungle Cruise, a new attraction adaptation, offers entertainment in the tradition of "Pirate of the Caribbean" - a big-budget action-comedy. A summer blockbuster that turns out to be more entertaining for its cast than for its visual quality.

You have to start at the beginning. Namely that Jungle Cruise is a film with Dwayne Johnson. Bankable actors of action comedies or nag action films. Jungle Cruise falls right into the first category mentioned. However, the feature film is based above all on an actor duo, you have to take the time to discuss them. Especially since that is the real highlight of this film.

A beautiful complementarity of the heroes

Taking care not to pay too much attention to the secondary roles which are all written in the second degree. The heroes played by Emily Blunt and Dwayne Johnson got more attention from the writers. These are the only characters that evolve for two hours. The skipper and the doctor of botany who discover each other at the beginning will not be the same at the end of the adventure. Thanks in particular to a good complementarity of roles in writing and the choice of actors in distribution. Emily Blunt shows, in fact, a very credible performance as a slightly rebellious adventurer.

In a physical role that brings her to a facet of self-mockery, the actress is believable. In addition, it displays a beautiful complementarity with Dwayne Johnson. The latter offers a very adequate interpretation to the film even if its range of play always remains close to its usual register. "The Rock" doesn't have the acting talent of Johnny Depp (in those heyday years), but to play adventurers with a sense of humor all his own, he does.

Heavy references on the shoulders of The Rock

Is Dwayne Johnson looking to be part of a new saga? It is not said or written, to date, that Jungle Cruise will be one. However, this is indeed an adaptation inspired by an attraction. Just like “Pirates of The Caribbean”. In addition, the main character played by Dwayne Johnson is inspired, according to the production, by Indiana Jones.
