NOC Review: ‘Jungle Cruise’ is a Big Screen Must-See E-Ticket Ride

July 27, 2021July 27, 2021 Sabina Graves

As a kid of the ’90s who loved going to Disneyland, never missed The Rock laying the Smackdown Thursday nights on WWE, and who was majorly obsessed with action adventures like The Mummy, this movie may have been made for me. Disney’s Jungle Cruise is a return to form for big movies with lots of heart, laughter, and a mighty dose of action-adventure that needs to be seen on the biggest screen possible.
