What is really important when you do a sequel? Apart from the already established characters, it is absolutely necessary to introduce new faces, new people, who will have room to "evolve" (no pun intended). And Night 2 tries hard. But it... Full review
Disappointingly flat for a comedy

This film is about the battle between various exhibits to save the world from evil power. "Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian" unfortunately falls way short of my expectations. The first "Night at the Museum" was good, as the... Full review
Just another Hollywood big-budget sequel.

The reason why I went to watch this is because the first one was such a good family movie. It has humour, suspense, slight action and in depth plot and twist. The sequel unfortunately is far from that. Night at the... Full review

Just thoroughly enjoyed this delightful romp. So what if Amelia Earhart was really married? (To George Putnam, the publisher)...Amy Adams is always good, no matter what she does. Doncha think that the real Ms. Earhart was adventurous? She played that up... Full review

Well, it's been 3 years since we had the comedy hit Night at the Museum, naturally they went for a sequel to either make more money or spill the story for what it's worth. Eh, I pick all of thee above.... Full review
The Dumbing Down of American Comedy!

Turfseer - imdb.com
From the outset. I kept wondering how ordinary security guard schlub Ben Stiller could so easily become an infomercial king, hawking glow in the dark flashlights and earning gobs of money. Then I realized that the screenwriters couldn't just have him... Full review
Before the credits are even over, one gets the impression that all of the sight gags from the original NIGHT AT THE MUSEUM are going to be transferred to The Smithsonian from The Museum of Natural History when the move is... Full review

One of the most surprising elements of the film is how it can be so packed with great comedy actors, some old ( Christopher Guest ) and some new....This throw-it-at-the-wall approach to studio comedy is ineffective.... ... Full Review
