They've cornered themselves into this niche and there's no way to work around it that wouldn't 'betray' everything some people have come to know and love from this franchise. You can ONLY do the same goofy shit you've done since the first film, only adding some new characters each time out. I mean the title pretty much gives it all away. Then again, it's not like you can actually do anything different with this franchise. Repeat the same joke over and over again and it loses its effectiveness. But while the story may differ from film to film, this essentially remains the same shit as before. I think I liked the first movie because it was fairly new concept at the time and it was, while not a good film by any stretch, somewhat charming and cute. While this film is a definite improvement over the second movie, it's not like it's that much different from the other two films that came before it. It's not like the world was really clamoring for a sequel, but they went ahead and made one because why not? Well I doubt that was really the reason as I'm sure the monetary rewards outweighed the fact that the series, in spite of everything it can do with historical figures, was creatively stagnant after the first film. It's a way to close out a fairly successful franchise on a high note, at least by the series' standards. I get why a sequel to this movie was made.
