La Nuit au musée : Le Retour de Kahmunrah

What is going on with Disney lately that their sequels to well-liked and respected franchises seem to have no effort put into them?

Willow and National Treasure we're so painful to watch that I couldn't get through the first episodes, and now Night at the Museum has a similar effect, forcing me to turn it off barely ten minutes into the movie.

It doesn't fit into the continuity of the three films, and all the characters are either stupid or mean spirited for some reason.

The way they get Larry's son to be the new night watchman is beyond lazy and uninspired, and essentially makes is hate all of the characters that we know and love.

I think this is the last straw for Disney plus and it's time to unsubscribe.

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 between 3-5 year-old. 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.

Night at the Museum: Kahmunrah Rises Again, the animated sequel in the beloved franchise, successfully captures the whimsical spirit and adventurous heart of its predecessors while introducing a new generation to the magic of museum exhibits coming to life after dark. Directed by Matt Danner and Justin Lovell, the film centers on Nick Daley, Larry's teenage son, as he takes on the night watchman duties and inevitably faces a resurrected Kahmunrah, the nefarious older brother of Ahkmenrah. The animation style is bright and engaging, bringing a fresh visual energy to familiar characters and introducing a host of new, historically significant figures to the after-hours chaos.

The film smartly balances nostalgia with new elements. Beloved characters like Jedediah, Octavius, and Theodore Roosevelt return, offering their signature humor and camaraderie, while new additions like Joan of Arc and Harriet Tubman inject fresh perspectives and opportunities for engaging historical interactions. The plot, while following a familiar structure of Kahmunrah seeking world domination, introduces enough new twists and challenges to keep audiences entertained. The humor is geared towards a younger audience but still retains the witty charm that appealed to fans of the live-action films, making it an enjoyable watch for the whole family.

Joshua Bassett voices Nick with a relatable blend of teenage apprehension and burgeoning heroism, stepping into the night watchman role with a desire to prove himself. Joseph Kamal brings a suitably menacing yet slightly theatrical flair to Kahmunrah, making him a compelling antagonist for this new adventure. The animation allows for more fantastical scenarios and imaginative set pieces, expanding the possibilities of what can come to life within the museum walls.

Night at the Museum: Kahmunrah Rises Again is a worthy successor to the franchise, offering a fun and engaging animated adventure that captures the magic and humor of the original films. It successfully introduces a new protagonist and exciting historical figures while staying true to the core concept of museum exhibits coming to life at night. With its bright animation, engaging storyline, and strong voice cast, it's a delightful family film that proves the adventures within the museum walls are far from over, promising more historical hijinks for a new generation of fans.

I hate to give a great Animated movie like this a low score, but in the end it was the story that forced my hand. So let's give points where points are due. The Animation is GREAT! The acting was wonderful! But the plot was just awful. Look, I get that it's a movie directed at kids and what not, and no, I'm not being too picky, the story just kinda falls apart towards the end of the movie. I felt like the writers got lazy towards the end. It's their laziness that prevents me for giving this movie a much more higher star count. But in the same time I admire them for trying. Seriously, it's not every day you see a great Animated movie, and a 2D animated movie to boot! I reward this movie 5 stars for the spot on Animation but only 1 star for the lazy writing. 5 minus 1= 4 stars, that's my final ruling on this beautiful film; take it or leave it.

Seriously Disney do you lack so much creativity nowadays first you do pointless and forgettable squeals like Hocus Pocus, Enchanted and your latest movie strange world just sucked.

I love the night of the museum movies all 3 films it had charm and humor and very memorable actors like Robin Williams, ben stiller, Owen Wilson and more all the actors give it there all. Now this latest one which is unnecessary like Toy story 4 we didn't need four movies it ended fine on third movie.

The animation looks awful looks like something you see in point and click game none of original actors did the voices and no one can top the late Robin Williams as Teddy.

The characters are easily forgettable in comparsion live action version and Disney continues to go downhill theres no creativity anymore just painful cash grabs.
