But Dwayne Johnson having a complete bomb of a DC superhero movie then tripping over himself to tell the world “MOANA LIVE ACTION WITH ME: THE ROCK!!!!” left a bad taste in my mouth.

Another reason the film may have failed was the movie going audience was getting tired of Dwayne Johnson. Although his WWE Rock persona translated into movie characters was at first blockbuster gold by now people were getting bored with him playing the same character just slightly tweaked from one movie to another. His other big studio movie around this time BLACK ADAM also bombed hard and it shouldn't be surprising that he eventually went back to the WWE. He'll probably still be involved in movies but I doubt major studios want to take a chance in casting him as a lead in a big budget production.

For a guy who's been in a lot of money-making movies, he hasn't been the lead in most of them. Not in the F&F series or the Jumanji movies or much else. FWIW, I liked Black Adam, but I think it was too dark for superhero audiences (also, DC does not know how to market their movies). Well, I won't worry too much about Dwayne Johnson. He's made a lot of money.

The only thing I liked about this movie were the cursed conquistadores because they were something right out of Pirates of the Caribbean (the treasure in Curse of the Black Pearl even traces back to Cortez), but even then their "living parts of jungle" design felt like Disney looked at all previous Pirates villains and said "we've already done skeleton pirates, fish pirates, voodoo pirates, ghost pirates, we need a new curse gimmick!"

Their story and the lore were my favorite parts of the film. The comedy was entertaining, but when they got deeper into the backstory, it felt like the comedy just got in the way.

Pirates of the Carribean was a fluke. The ride just happened to translate into a very enjoyable movie with a clever script, decent story and great casting. The film is fun even if you've never heard of the Disney ride. The idea that any Disney ride would somehow become a successful film or franchise is ridiculous. These companies are over-estimating the value of their IP's as films. They're relying heavily on nostalgia to make something successful instead of wondering if there's enough substance to turn into an actual film. Another guilty company is Hasbro. Transformers did well, so their other toys/games should be great movie franchises right? Battleship, Jem? Both "failed next big things." And it should be remembered that they registered trademarks for both a Monopoly and Hungry Hungry Hippo films.

The director they got is to blame for this one. He had no business directing this movie. Then they gave him Black Adam, and he made another flop. There is nothing in this guys filmography that would make you think he was suited for big budget films. He got two chances and he failed epically

jungle cruise will always be best remembered as that one song by weird al yankovic about a depressed and jaded jungle cruise tour guide.

It like these studios get so caught up trying to make the “next big thing” that they forget to make a movie that’s worth watching.

I’ve always been a firm believer that Disney (back when they had competent leadership, and a passion for solid well thought out storytelling) should have just put a ton of money and resources into a Haunted Mansion flick. One that, like Pirates, was a period piece that took itself seriously… but wasn’t afraid to be silly from time to time. Not that anybody asked for it, but to get it off my mind… My dream for the perfect Haunted Mansion movie would be to set it in the 1880s-1900s. The atmosphere and costumes would be gloomy and rich with authenticity. The mansion would be grand and foreboding. There would be heavy shadows contrasted on soft candle lighting and glowing ghosts. The mansion would feel alive at times with how rooms can stretch and move. I would want the cast to be likable (not at all snooty). The spooks and scares would actually be pretty frightening, and serious… just as Pirates had genuine weight and sincerity to their scary scenes… only more so… I would want it to be a genuine attempt at a clean horror film on Disney’s part. Horror doesn’t need to be sex, nudity, or gore. It just needs a gripping story, stakes, and the right themes/timing. Taking all that money and wasting it on a Jungle Cruise movie with a bloated cast and horrible writing/character development is just offensive. Not to mention how they now made TWO modern day Haunted Mansion films about a random family, and their silly shenanigans with the ghosts of the manor. They refuse to give The Haunted Mansion a movie that takes itself seriously… that being said, they hardly release *anything* these days that takes itself seriously. Bob Iger’s “wonderful” leadership has brought the company to this sorry state…

Been loving your content! Movie budgets really are just becoming so bloated. And while there was only so much Disney could control when releasing Jungle Cruise, releasing Haunted Mansion as a summer blockbuster was such a baffling decision. It feels like Disney’s insides have been on fire since 2020

This movie made the real life explorer Lope de Augerrie into a character with supernatural powers. In real life Augerrie became power mad, declaring himself the Prince of Peru, and tried to establish his own nation. He was captured by Spanish forces while trying to take over Panama (he rebelled against Spain) and was killed by one of his own men who saw him as a traitor to Spain. Augerrie was also the subject of the classic Werner Herzog movie “Augerrie: The Wrath of God”. In that movie his exposition gets lost, with everyone getting killed except for him.

I wish we had more mid-budget movies. It seems like the cinema-going audience has gotten smaller and pickier (and I'll admit to being part of that; I've only seen 3 movies in theaters since 2020, and two of those were at a drive-in for safety reasons). The risk of any movie failing is higher, so why not spread that risk around? Make more movies with smaller budgets, and see if you can get one or two to blow up. Tell stories that don't require tons of CGI. Pay your workers enough to get good product (heresy, I know). Instead, it seems like the studios are clinging to the idea of releasing only 5 movies a year and denanding they all be mega-blockbusters. And they won't admit it's not working.

The cost of going to movies is absurd for family flicks like this. I took my kids to see Inside Out 2 last weekend and it was almost $50 just for one adult and two kids tickets. You can easily double that if you get snacks.

I will say that the villains reason were actually thought out. A German Prince going after a plant that could not only heal, but could revive dead Soldiers in 1916 is actually a really smart idea on his part.

Suggested future topic: Haunted Mansion (2003) with Eddie Murray and The Haunted Mansion (2023) with Rosario Dawson. Also, I think the guideline for movie profitability is now 3x the production budget. Half the box office revenue is shared 50/50 with the theatres and the cost of promoting the film is not included in the production budget and is often as large as the production budget.

Emily blunt is a good actor, but she looked out of place in this movie to me. I didn't really buy into them falling in love despite predicting they would. I thought the evil villian guy was good, the prince or whatever, because too many movies nowadays don't let people just be ruthless. I liked the puns. One time watch and a meh basically

I'll never understand why they assumed that the success of Pirates of the caribean had anything to do with the disneyland attraction. Most people outside the us haven't been there, and it has little to do with the movies. Adapting other attractions didn't merit any likely success by itself. Like, the reasons of the success of pirates of the caribean focus on being good movies and pirates being inherently fun and interesting. They paint an interesting world with quirky characters while balancing that fun with a grim world. There's lots of stories you could tell in that world.

People just don't want to go see a mid movie if they can just wait a month until is comes out on streaming

Skylar Schuyler just reconfirm today that a sequel to jungle Cruise is “definitely still in the works”! :-)

Adapting a theme park ride is an odd pitch, but with Pirates of the Carribean, there's a promise of swashbuckling adventure. The Jungle Cruise ride is an odd little ride punctuated with interesting narration; a quirky movie could have worked, but not a summer blockbuster.

I got 2 minutes into this movie before realizing I had seen it before. Its literally Pirates.

@rickdesper

But without Captain Jack Sparrow.

Part of Disney's problem now, not just in this film, is the lack of originality that company has fallen in to. They essentially took Pirates of the Caribbean and moved to the jungle - a lone renegade confronted with cursed pirates/explorers who were trying to set themselves free. As you said in the video, they were so many interesting ways they could've gone by making the jungle more significant character rather than just repeating natural storyline.

...Thinking some more about *why* Disney would ever assume that adapting theme-park rides into movies is a gold mine, I wonder if it's a cognitive distortion caused by the people making the decisions living in Greater Los Angeles, where Disneyland is a local attraction and people are more likely to be very familiar with the rides there. Lots of people go to Disney parks, yes, but they're expensive to visit and distant from most people in the world, and if you even manage to do it, it's likely to be something you saved up for and did once or twice in a lifetime. You might have some nice recollections of riding these rides, but unless you're a real theme-park geek or a "Disney adult", the fine details of them aren't burned into your memory. But the situation with Disneyland and LA is unusual: the park caters more to locals; a lot of people around there may have passes and go frequently, or at least have been there many times.

Agree, The River Wild as you mention but also Anaconda both do a much better job of making you feel like you're in the jungle thanks to shooting on-location and in-camera and managing to avoid the actors-doing-cosplay look of digital and shooting on 35mm for a more expensive, cinematic looking, immersive experience for the viewer.

It's crazy how Dwayne Johnson started his Hollywood career long before Dave Bautista and John Cena yet both of the latter have been much more successful in getting more memorable and popular roles. Off the top of my head I can't name any character The Rock has played that's not Black Adam, and only because it's the goddamn title of the movie. I had to think for a while to remember Roadblock from G.I. Joe (which I would not remember if it wasn't a franchise I'm familiar with) and Maui from Moana (where he only does voice work, at least until the freaking live-action remake).

Hey now, don't you besmirch Without A Paddle. Quality cinema

It's funny how Dwayne Johnson is associated with so many studios failed big budget movies.

I'm reminded of how many Indiana Jones knock-offs there were in the 1980s, and how few of them succeeded. One exception was Romancing the Stone. What they did right was start with a good story, good actors, and a _small budget_. Jungle Cruise made an enviable amount of money - more than many of the movies in your series. But their budget was ridiculously large. Why? Why did they need $200 million? It's the same general setting as Anaconda. That was admittedly done decades earlier, but even for the time it had a manageable budget of $45 million. The end product is better than the post-trilogy Pirates movies, but that doesn't matter given how expensive it was. I don't know what's going on at Disney. The studio seems to be too large for its own good.

I feel like audiences can tell when they're trying to be sold a franchise, and it rarely goes well.

It's not the CG, it's not the rock, it's not the pandemic, Disney hasn't been riding good scripts. Their competitors are writing good scripts that is why they are successful. As soon as Disney starts writing good scripts, people will come back.

Jungle cruise happened during the covid pandemic and it was on disney plus as soon as it was in the theaters.😢

If even a tiny fraction of the evidence is true about Disney's involvement with children and SA, well - I would love to see the whole company collapse and the guilty (protected rich) people go to prison.

James Newton Howard’s score is a genuine highlight, and makes for fun listening while writing. The movie itself I think is better than Dial of Destiny, but you’re right that it needed more of a sense of romantic chemistry and a jungle river location that feels real. In other words, it needed a Gore Verbinski and Stephen Sommers to make it feel like a great adventure. Also, it would have been better if Edgar Ramirez had played Frank/Francisco.

This series is becoming one of my favorites! Keep up the good work!

@@joestrike8537 I definitely disagree. I mean, the plot was a bit generic, but the visuals, (and especially) the soundtrack and most of the acting was amazing! It's still one of my favourite movies after all these years.

Watching this movie made me revisit both The Mummy (3 films) and Scorpion King (5 films?!)

The moment they chose Dwayne Johnson for this movie, it was doomed.

IMHO you must have a couple of reasons why this movie as well as pretty much any Disney product is bound to fail nowadays...the same reason why JLo had to cancel her tour...a good chunk dislike The Rock by now and think he is fake and Disney is hated for multiple reasons which are well known. There are enough video essays on Disney on KZread. I wouldn't touch a Disney movie anymore with a ten-foot pole, and I am not alone.

I want a reboot, this SHOULD work. And Jake Johnson should be the skipper.

I love these videos.

i actually enjoyed this movie, thats all i remember.

anyone else completely caught off guard by a youtuber finally not using some goofy euphemism for covid

I still say the best movie starring the Rock is 2003's The Rundown. Didn't pretend to be something grand and pretentious. Just an action film where the Rock gets to strut around and beat the crap out of people. Thoroughly enjoyable.

Jungle cruise is my all time favortite ride and Ive thought they should make a movie for years. When i saw it it made me want to end my life. My hatred for dwayne johnson is unfathomable.

When I first watched this movie, from beginning to end I felt that it was just a ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ ripoff in aesthetic, tone, and even plot, down to having cursed antagonists that chase the leads and the main male lead being cursed himself. It was super unoriginal and did nothing to stand itself out from its contemporaries nor shake up the formula. It’s the equivalent of “Let me copy your homework” to the Pirates franchise and only changing some of the ‘answers’ with setting.

I don't go to the movies much, but I didn't even know this movie was made. I'm not trying to be mean: this movie made so little blip I didn't hear about it.

Comparison to other "river movies," but no mention of African Queen? The river movie is most heavily borrows from is African Queen, IMHO.
