The 2019 release Jumanji: The Next Level is the sequel to one of the hit movies with Kevin Hart Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle. The whole cast reunited for the sequel and this time they are faced with a new challenge when Spencer gets trapped in the game once again. The movie followed the same concept of people getting sucked into the game but with a different storyline.

When the friends get back into the game to save Spencer, the task feels much more difficult than they had expected.

The movie undoubtedly tried to level up with the storyline and the graphics while also retaining the essence of the original movie.
