A moviegoer took to twitter to criticize Dwayne Johnson's new movie "Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle" for an alleged plot error, which resulted to "The Rock," laying the smack down on the critic, much to his surprise.

Twitter user @JamesJamMcMahon posted a tweet on Wednesday pointing out how inaccurately the game's respawning method was compared to a real video game as according to him the Jumanji made deaths and respawning quite convenient for the players.

"I went to see the new Jumanji. F--- 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 b------t. What say you @TheRock? Otherwise it was quite good."

The Rock, however, would not take the criticism lying down and immediately came back with his trademark wisecracking retort.

"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--- yourself James." Johnson replied.

The exchange, however, was more of humor than scorn, and the conversation of the two later took on a friendlier tone, with McMachon telling the rock that he is "The greatest human."

"Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle" is a sequel to the 1995 fantasy adventure movie "Jumanji" starring the late Robin Williams, along with a pre-adolescent Kirsten Dunst. The movie was about two kids trying to finish a magical African safari-inspired board game, which would spew out horrors from the Jungle every time they rolled the dice. The only way they could get could get everything back to normal is to finish the game so they enlist Williams' character, who was reluctant to join them due to him being sucked into the game when he played it as a young boy.

The 2017 version of the movie shows the magical board game adapting to modern times in order to lure young people into playing it, thus transforming itself into a video game. When four teenagers find the game in the school basement, their curiosity causes them to get sucked inside and transformed into adults played by Johnson, Jack Black, Kevin Hart, and Karen Gillian.
