2019 · Movie · PG-13 · your starting pointIf you want that specific blend of ensemble cast chemistry, escalating jungle-based chaos, and quippy problem-solving under impossible odds, you'd likely find it in Rampage (Johnson leading a ragtag team through destruction while cracking jokes) or Monster Hunter (the fish-out-of-water dynamic of a military unit relying on an unlikely guide to survive a hostile realm). Kong: Return to the Jungle probably comes closest on tone—mismatched characters navigating a hostile jungle while leaning on each other for both humor and survival—though it's less about game mechanics and more about pure adventure spectacle.
