A fan called out a plot point in Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson’s new movie, and the actor cooked up a blistering response.
On Wednesday, Twitter user @JamesJamMcMahon said the way “Jumanji: Welcome To The Jungle” handles characters’ deaths was “some bullshit.”
I went to see the new Jumanji. FUCK THE NEW JUMANJI. Here’s a spoiler. There is no way a character in a video game would lose a life, then be respawned still in possession of the item required to win. That’s some bullshit. What say you @TheRock? Otherwise it was quite good

“Otherwise it was quite good,” he added.
The review wasn’t quite good enough for Johnson, who went back to his wrestling roots with this reply:
Actually my friend, in the JUMANJI Lore Handbook, it clearly states in article 72 of section 7, that “any character who loses a life, shall return to their original state with any item they possessed at the time of their demise”. So kindly go f*ck yourself James.

Ouch!
The tweeter took the smackdown in good humor, however, and called Johnson “the greatest human.”
THE ROCK IS THE GREATEST HUMAN <3 https://t.co/6SiBbySiYC

The two then appeared to make up:
I mean thankfully we always have the trusted Jumanji handbook for the rules lol

Dude. I haven’t loved you this much since WrestleMania 18

Other people on Twitter, meanwhile, cheered from the bleachers at such a glorious exchange.
