r96 s 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.

Let me begin by saying that this film has a great storyline with tremendous potential, but unfortunately, the filmmakers seem to have targeted an age group that doesn't fully appreciate it. It is not a film that a 9-year-old child would truly enjoy. It was nice to see the beautiful values portrayed in the film, such as friendship, selflessness, and a strong sense of bonding that closely resembles a family bond. However, it would have been better to also include some humor. The film was overly formulaic and lacked originality. I watched this film with my children, and the part that made us laugh the most was the character of the God of Chaos. He was the most comedic element in the film. This film can be described as an episode within a series of children's shows, and nothing more. But to be a standalone film, I don't think it succeeded. We didn't get to know the characters well, and there weren't strong enough motivations to connect the audience with them. In summary, I believe this film was simply a filler for commercial purposes. However, the worst part was the exploitation of the "Night at the Museum" name. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 08/10/23 Full Review Dale R An animated fourth entry into the Night at the Museum franchise features Larry convincing his now adult son to take over the duties of the night guard. While Kahmunrah, the villain from the third movie, returns to take over the world. These characters didn't feel like the one we fell in love with during the past three movies. Most of the jokes did not land for me and to not have the voice actors of the original movies felt like a lack of respect for the previous content. Has a franchise that involves history, the lack of historical context and the chance to learn a bit about history felt like a missed opportunity. Since this film was animated, it didn't have the real world weight or consequences that the previous films had. Such as the destruction during the fight scenes. It felt like a failed series pilot that is was. Skip this one.

But it did not jive with the original plot established by B. Stiller and that story. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/01/23 Full Review Movie C Night at The Mueseum: Kahmunrah rises again is a movie that was only made for the sole purpose of Disney + having more originals. The only reason I watched it was because I had enjoyed so much the other Night at the Museum movies. The jokes weren't funny and the plot isn't new just the same story all over again.
