Jumanji - The Next Level

A pretty worthwhile follow up to the reboot from a few years ago, with some clever variations. One of the variations means that Karen Gillan gets to be de-facto lead for most of the first chunk of the film, which is incredibly enjoyable, and the remaining returning three bigger names get to have some nice twists on their character. The addition of Awkwifina is very welcome, and Rory McCann is suitably menacing as a minimally characterised bad guy. If the ending is a little too sequel-confident for its own good, it's still not a bad way to keep things rolling.
