He also proved he could make a terrifically gripping film with just a single woman on screen for the majority of the time in the excellent The Shallows, so to say i felt let down by Jungle Cruise was a bit of an understatement.
He's a very capable director with a good eye for visuals. I didn't like House of Wax, but everything else he's made has been, at the very least, entertaining. Even with a fairly minimal plot (as in The Shallows), he can make a gripping film. Unsurprisingly, Jungle Cruise looked good, but the story and characters weren't very interesting.
