George of the Jungle is 90 minutes of merch-tie-in with a story bolted on as a legal afterthought.

George of the Jungle is what improv class warned you about.

The science in George of the Jungle has the same relationship to physics that I have to going to the gym: aspirational.

George of the Jungle treats "worldbuilding" the way a toddler treats a fruit bowl — enthusiastically, briefly, then forgotten.

The cinematography in George of the Jungle is doing all the heavy lifting and it shows
Just got out of George of the Jungle and I'm convinced critics are being paid in residuals. Two genuinely good scenes do not make a film. Convince me otherwise.

[Spoilers] Can we discuss that absolutely baffling ending in George of the Jungle?
Everyone praising the George of the Jungle performances must have watched a different cut. The lead is sleepwalking through this and the supporting cast can't save it.

Hot Take: George of the Jungle's third act ruined what could have been a masterpiece
Rewatched George of the Jungle last night and noticed even more plot holes than the first time. The motivations don't track at all once you stop and think about act two.

Unpopular opinion: George of the Jungle is the most overrated film of the decade
Look, I wanted to love George of the Jungle. The trailer had me hyped. But sitting through the second hour felt like a homework assignment. The dialogue is exposition stacked on exposition and the score keeps telling me how to feel.
