Kevin Hart also received praise from a fan, who wrote, “Finally Kevin Hart got a role he truly resembles.” Praising the lead pair's enduring appeal, another fan commented, “Dwayne Johnson and Kevin Hart's dynamic never gets old face-blue-smiling.”
Fans Are Emotional
While the trailer has generated considerable excitement, the announcement of this being the franchise's last adventure has left fans feeling nostalgic. “I can't believe this is the last Jumanji movie,” a user wrote.
Another commented, "Last Jumanji movie. No time to wait anymore now that Grokvortex is a thing".
"Dwayne Johnson said that even though this is the final Jumanji film, it won't be the last film of the franchise. He said that after this film comes out, he's going to help bring back Zathura. That I'm excited for. I wonder if they'll give it the video game treatment too in which the characters are crew members on a space ship. Like a captain, a pilot, mechanic, etc," posted another.
