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

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

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

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
