Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
View MoreAmazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.
View MoreA great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
View MoreGreat movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.
View More2nd sequels are hard to get right. Toy Story managed it, Shrek did not. The Night at the Museum series though not only manages to create a third entry that matches the previous two outings, but wraps up the series in good fashion.All the old faces are here, and happily are not underused. There's a good story in place, and the new characters fit in well. I can't say I'm the biggest fan of Rebel Wilson, but her energy and humour was good here.It all builds to a suitably big and sentimental finale, but then again the series has form for this. Of course this sadness was greater when you consider that this was Robin Williams' last big movie role.I think everyone concerned should give themselves a pat on the back for creating three old fashioned but timeless family films.
View MoreThis was a good way to end the trilogy. It wasn't over complicated and I liked that the story and the problem in this one was a very simple one. I liked the addition of Sir Lancelot (Dan Stevens did a really great job and looked pretty awesome in the role) The addition of Laa was very funny and one of the highlights of the movie for me. Also it was nice seeing Ben Kingsley in this movie. That was another highlight of the movie. the only problem I had is that we didn't get to see much of the new museum and we didn't get to see too many of their exhibitions coming to life, I was hoping they gave us more background characters coming to life. the museum felt kinda empty and we only get to see a couple of rooms here and there so I don't know if things were cut in the editing room or what happened, but they could have done a lot more in terms of things coming to life. Kinda weird that the building felt so empty at times. I liked it a lot more than the second one and the jokes were a little better.
View MoreNight at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb (2014): Dir: Shawn Levy / Cast: Ben Stiller, Robin Williams, Dan Stevens, Rebel Wilson, Skyler Gisondo: Third and the best of this pathetic trilogy, and that is saying little since this one sucks to. It celebrates life and friendship through its suppose secret in the tomb. It begins in the distant past with the discovery of a tablet that is moved and is eroding so badly that it threatens the existence of the various figures and creatures that come to life after hours. Ben Stiller returns again as the security guard overseeing the museum and befriending the bizarre historical characters. Central plot regards his travels to Britain in order to have the Egyptians that come to life in that museum, examine and fix the tablet. Director Shawn Levy returns again, and the special effects are the big high point. Stiller seems to be reciting this time out as he struggles to maintain order. The sad factor is this being the final on-screen performance by Robin Williams as Theodore Roosevelt who rides in on his horse. Skyler Gisondo plays Stiller's son who desires to be a disc jockey. Rebel Wilson plays the security guard at the Britain museum. The one shining performance comes from Dan Stevens as Sir Lancelot whose best moment arrives when he crashes a play performed by Hugh Jackman and Alice Eve believing him as an imposter and her as his lady love. If only the entire film was this funny. In the end it is a pointless family improvement over the first two films but unfortunately it still belongs in the trash. Perhaps not as far down in the trash as the other two, but in the gutter nonetheless. Score: 3 ½ / 10
View MorePart 3 - and expected last instalment - of the poplar NATM series pitches Larry Daley (Ben Stiller) on a mission to save the magic stone that brings his exhibit friends to life. So off he goes to London where new characters and new exhibit creatures join the frothy frolics.In truth it's all very predictable and plays exactly like the money maker it is, but as with the other two films prior to this one, it has bundles of joy for the kiddies, whilst inserting some dark patches and edgy gags for the benefit of the adults. There's fun cameos, one of which is a joyous belter, and all the returning cast members are joined by an ebullient Dan Stevens as Sir Lancelot.For a series closer it could have disgraced itself, but with some neat injection of ideas and decent story telling, it winds up as above average. The caveat, though, is that at the same time it convinces that the franchise has very much run its course. 6/10
