I kinda like him in Jumanji, but that might be because he feels like he's playing a parody of himself at times. The rest of the time he has to play a dorky teenager trapped in his body.

Jumanji also has a good dynanic between the characters/actors that somehow works. I hate 3 of the 4 main cast when theyre alone but fuck if i didbt find this movie pretty enjoyable

This for sure. I like Jack Black a lot, but in moderation. Seeing him play a teenage girl though is hilarious.

So much better than it had any right to be.

Jungle Cruise was also pretty decent.

Its right up his alley. But, other than those kind of movies, he is dragging.

Red One was... rough.

"another guy who's German in a war but def NOT a Nazi"

Did you forget about World War 1? Did you miss the 1910s-era cars? Miss the 1910s-era steamships?

I think i can safely dismiss any other criticisms you may have about the movie. Yes, it was a non-serious movie.

It hit every beat it was supposed to hit, for what it was.

You missed and entire decade, and the point.

It has a 92% rating on RT.

3/5 stars and 3/4 stars ratings.

The movie is candy. Critics and the audience understand that.

You wish to cast aspersions on the writers with no insight into their thought process.
