Movie Reviews
“In the pantheon of Disney movies based on Disney theme park rides, ‘Jungle Cruise’ is pretty good (…) though not quite as satisfying as the original ‘Pirates of the Caribbean.’ (…) Rating: ??½ (out of 4)” Matt Zoller Seitz: rogerebert.com
- “Jungle Cruise crashes into the kind of mediocrity that many assumed would doom Pirates. Some might enjoy meandering down its lazy river, but most will realize they’re simply marinating in recycled juices.” Jacob Oller: Paste Magazine
