Reaction: The numbers were slightly down across the board in this one, which could easily be chalked up to missing some of the recognizable faces of the second film (like the Joker). The slightly lower box office coupled with a slightly higher budget, did result in the lowest profits of the series. That said, it was still wildly successful.

"It was nice to see Gugu Mbatha-Raw's Vixen back on the big screen after a long time away. Her personality felt a bit more realized this time around, even if Task Force X: Jungleland is little more than an excuse to have action sequences featuring as many DC villains as possible. Three films in now and I still feel like I know nothing about John David Washington's Black Spider, despite his ascension to star of the series. Meanwhile, Jason Mantzoukas brings some fun to an underwritten villain role." - Bobbie Gray-Smith, Sacramento Bee

"This film effectively utilizes Vixen, which is a refreshing change. It provides substantial character development and isn't shy about placing characters in challenging situations. The innovative storytelling approach of this series is impressive, with John David and Gugu Mbatha-Raw standing out as a compelling lead duo. All in all, it's another outstanding addition to Task Force X." - Austin Gabe, Dallas-Herald Chronicle

"The most fun part of these Task Force X films is to see the combination of villains writer Jimmy Ellis and director Guy Ritchie choose to utilize. This film's lineup is actually pretty strong, with the team having less redundancies in terms of personality and powers than in previous films. The action in this one is pretty bonkers as well, resulting in a highly entertaining film." - Dave Manning, Ridgefield Press

Rated PG-13 for intense action violence and some language
