	Media	Author	Review
		David Rooney The Hollywood Reporter	"Compared to other attempts to turn theme park attractions into fresh revenue streams, it’s not as lifeless as The Haunted Mansion or Tomorrowland. But that doesn’t mean it’s good."
		Matt Fowler IGN	"Dwayne Johnson and Emily Blunt anchor the rollicking adventure with superb on-screen chemistry (...) a joyous summer romp rooted on by a fun script"
		David Ehrlich IndieWire	"Not since Aguirre has a trek into the Amazon felt quite so hamstrung by delusions of grandeur. Perhaps Disney’s remake of 'Fitzcarraldo' will fare better."
		Matt Zoller Seitz rogerebert.com	"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)"
		William Bibbiani The Wrap	"Those who are expecting something new, intriguing or memorable have entered the wrong theater (...) The biggest surprise is director Jaume Collet-Serra (...) capable of keeping the tone cheery for about two hours straight"
		Owen Gleiberman Variety	"'Jungle Cruise' is a movie that implicitly asks: What’s wrong with a little good old-fashioned escapism? The answer is: Absolutely nothing, and 'Jungle Cruise' is old-fashioned"
		Jacob Oller Paste Magazine	"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."
		Brian Lowry CNN	"A highly enjoyable trip (...) the film is impeccably designed, conjuring the look of the past with plenty of homages while creating a nicely contemporary feel."
		Brian Truitt USA Today	"Like a zanier Bogie and Bacall, Johnson and Blunt cross an 'African Queen' vibe with Indiana Jones flair for a period piece that starts like gangbusters but can’t keep from wading into familiar waters (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of 4)"
		Olly Richards Time Out	"Collet-Serra (The Shallows) clearly knows what he has here and gives his leads plenty of time to breathe. His action sequences are solid, if unremarkable, but he knows what the film needs: as much Blunt and Johnson as possible."
		Michael O'Sullivan The Washington Post	"'Jungle Cruise' invites you to turn off your mind, relax and float downstream (...) Like the ride itself, it requires no more mental engagement than you would devote to any theme park visit (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"
		Nick Allen The Playlist	"'Jungle Cruise' is a monument of zeros and ones, so reliant on CGI that it sacrifices jokes, fight sequences, and general wonder"
		Tim Grierson Screendaily	"The film can sometimes feel more like a slog than a cruise, but Johnson and Blunt prove to be excellent company on the journey."
		Helen O'Hara Empire	"Credit goes only to its two stars that this is watchable, because the film is a derivative hodge-podge unworthy of their charisma (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"
		John Serba Decider	"A typically bloated, mostly entertaining have-fun-or-else Disney product (...) One sits on the fence as one says that 'Jungle Cruise' is recommendable, sans modifiers signifying goodness or badness"
		Peter Travers ABC News	"'Jungle Cruise' may be dim, dopey and derivative, but the kids will love it, and like the Metallica song in the film, 'nothing else matters'"
