The word "more" here is used to make a comparison between two ideas by emphasizing a new idea and show that it is better than a previous idea. In the video, "more" shows that the place they landed is more like a jungle than a park. Ex: A: I'm a little tall. B: You're more like a giant. Ex: A: The food at that place is okay. B: Okay? More like terrible and overpriced.
