Do you like action, adventure, comedy, romance? How about all four? If so then “Jungle Cruise” is the movie for you. This cinematic masterpiece directed by Jaume Collet-Serra is a classic jungle adventure movie. The movie starts off with Frank, a money seeking jungle skipper, who is battling for business survival against the larger more known “Jungle Cruise” company, Nilos River Adventure. When Lilly, played by Emily Blunt, enters the film she is looking to go where no jungle adventurer has gone before: in search of the tears of the moon. She's looking for the highly recommended Mr. Nilo to take her there. Along the way, Frank convinces her that he is the best skipper on the river. He's the only one that can get her there.  On the adventure to the Tree of Souls, they come across dangerous rapids and undead soldiers bound to the river willing to do anything to break their curse.

 Through the multiple action scenes, it is clear that every word, every camera angle is thought out in order to increase the impact of a sentence or a look. All the costumes are realistically crafted to look like mid century jungle adventurers. This made me feel like I was really there in the movie. The biggest attraction to the movie is that it's based on a classic Disney ride, The “Jungle Cruise”.  Having personally been on the ride, the movie realistically reflects this classic Disney ride, but with a twist. 

At the end of the movie, both characters discover something about each other and about themselves.  This is the reason the movie has made almost 220 million dollars at the Box Office.The movie is fantastic at attracting a variety of audiences and regular movie watchers.The “Jungle Cruise” has a little bit of everything. Personally, I'm an action comedy lover. For me, this movie was the best comedy/action movie Disney has produced. It kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time. I felt like I was in the movie. Whether you're an action lover, a sappy romantic, or a comedian, you can bet that you're going to love “Jungle Cruise”. 

At the end of the movie, in classic Disney fashion, Frank and Lily survive the dangerous journey, and what happens next? Well, that is for me to know and for you to find out.
