Hermione Granger This is a fun movie that the whole family should see! In the movie, the main characters from the museum travel to Washington DC, Larry unfortunately bringing the tablet with him, which brings everyone at the museum they're at to life. We have Amelia Earhart, played by Amy Adams, which I loved, as well as the statue of Abraham Lincoln coming to life. Unfortunately, the bad guy is rather annoying. There's some great humor, fortunately without the monkey doing any business. I don't see how this has 5.9/10 stars. I've detected that on IMDb, 8/10 stars and up means the movie is superior; the range of 7/10 stars means it's great; and the range of 6/10 stars and under means it's bad. This movie isn't exactly a wonderful movie that you'll want to watch over and over again, but it's good and worth watching. It should be in the range of the late 6/10 stars or early 7/10 stars. If you haven't watched it, you should. It's worth a shot.
shominy-491-652355 This is the funniest "Night at the Museum" film of the trilogy! Hank Azaria, Amy Adams, and Christopher Guest are absolutely hilarious! We rented this DVD, practically died laughing, then had to buy the DVD and have watched it many, many times and it never fails to entertain from beginning to end. One of the best scenes is when Ben Stiller (Larry) and Amy Adams (Amelia) jump into the famous "kissing" photo from V-E Day in NYC! Hank Azaria's Boris Karloff impersonation is a riot! (He has too many hilarious lines to make reference to here!) We have enjoyed all 3 of the Museum Trilogy films but this, by far, is the funniest! There isn't a dull scene in the movie! Highly recommend Museum #2 to anyone who loves great comedies - and Boris Karloff!
Amy Edwards Night At The Museum was a great movie. The idea was genuine and it was a pleasure to discover all the great characters in human history coming back to life and transform the New York Museum of Natural History into a very big mess.But this sequel lost a lot of its magic mostly because of a bad written plot. The scriptwriters probably thought that moving the story into the biggest museum in the world and adding dozens of new characters would keep us entertained. But you need much more to achieve it. From the beginning. Larry, who we left as an ordinary man, now is a powerful and tyrannic CEO who pushes his staff to cancel their family place to make business. He's also manipulating his lamp like Bruce Lee. Why did they do that? Why not just keeping Larry as a continued night guard having fun at each shift when the museum came alive? Thankfully there are some characters who are really enjoyable to see like the lovely Amy Adams, who stars as Amelia Earhart, the first woman who crossed the Atlantic Ocean with her plane. She really steals the show throughout the movie. The other one is the villain, Kahmunrah, played by Hank Azaria, the evil twin brother of Ahkmenrah who wants to steal the tablet in order to rule the World. Azaria, who also voice the Thinker and President Lincoln, is really showing his huge talent as a comedian. Anyway I'm deceived to not see Robin Williams as much as I did in the first movie. It would have been great to see him throughout the entire movie instead of some scenes there and there.In brief, this movie is not as good as the first one but it's still worth to watch in Family.
Holly Burns The first film was far from spectacular, but it was tolerable and a bit of fun to watch. I came across the second movie when it was shown on television and its terrible. It has been done once and wasn't brilliant, the producers really shouldn't have bothered with number two. The whole film is filled with terrible far-fetched acting. Every line just tries to include a joke that is not even remotely funny and frankly, leaves me with a blank expression on my face the whole time. The whole movie is just "trying too hard". Too see some pretty famous faces in it, is a shame as it is a real downfall in their career. i'm surprised I actually ended up watching the whole movie, maybe I was hoping it would get better. Evidently not! It is saying something when you are watching this movie with kids and they even turn round to you and say "Is this meant to be funny?" 1/10
