What We Think

‘Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian’ is refreshingly low on woke content. It focuses on entertainment over agenda, poking fun at history in a light way without forcing modern ideology. A rare, non-woke family adventure.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The story stays mostly lighthearted and doesn't sideline its narrative for modern identity politics. Character personalities generally trump identity traits. Representation exists but doesn't feel shoehorned, and most characters have proper arcs and face consequences.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional values like family and heroism are celebrated. Masculinity, femininity, and historical figures are played for fun rather than agenda-pushing. There isn't significant subverting or mocking of cultural foundations; history is more playful than revisionist.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The film doesn't villainize tradition or present only one worldview. It satirizes everyone equally and offers multiple perspectives, thanks to its museum setting with varied historical characters.
