I suppose the idea of picking up from the trilogy after eight years might have made sense on a storyboard somewhere, but this rather lacklustre animation really just reminded me of a feature-length episode of "Scooby Do" - only with a Pharaoh. This time it's son "Nick" who becomes the nightwatchman just in time to thwart the ambitions of "Kahmunrah" to re-emerge from his tomb and take over the world. Yep, it's that predictable - and sadly this animated story offers us really very little by way of originality, basically rehashing the second film from the franchise (2009) but in cartoon form. To be fair, it doesn't hang around and maybe a new audience might appreciate it, but it's completely devoid of menace or comedy and is something you can plonk your kids in front of safe in the knowledge that they could probably watch it again next week and not remember a thing.
