Night at the Museum: Kahmunrah Rises Again

No redeeming qualities. 'Night at the Museum: Kahmunrah Rises Again' is sequelitis in a nutshell. It only holds the bare minimum of similarities to the original trilogy, with no main cast member from those movies returning. Even at just under 90 minutes, it's a mind-numbingly dull watch. The choice of animation is iffy, too. I will say I could see youngsters enjoying this as a standalone film, to be honest it has the makings of being a television show - which is the avenue they should've gone down instead, could've made it 'What's New, Scooby-Doo?'-esque. The lack of any real connection to the preceding movies then wouldn't actually matter as it'd be a different thing entirely, but given it is a sequel you have to compare it to its predecessors. I obviously wasn't expecting this to be anything quite as enjoyable as the Ben Stiller pictures, though I did think it would at least resemble the other flicks a little bit. Oh well, no biggie.

Woof. Parents & grown-ups beware, this one is for the kids only. Felt like a soft launch for a Saturday morning cartoon series. Ties into characters & moments from the film series but seems to be missing the actual fun & funny from the movies.
