Night at the Museum 2 - Battle of the Smithsonian Reviews

Looks Good.

This film looks like it could turn out great. Night At The Museum (1) was fantastic and hopefully this will be to, I will deffinetly be seing this at the cinema!

SOOO Much better than the original!

This movie is great fun! Alot better than first, simply because it's packed with so much action and fun: a great movie to see with the whole family. I'm not going to tell you a detailed description of the movie as a previous reviewer has already done that (along with yet another tedious reviewer who felt the need to share his opinion without actually seeing the film!!!Reviews like his should be removed as they are of no value whatsover, as it's silly to review a movie not seen yet!), but I will say this,watch this! If you liked the first/original, I'm sure you'll love this one even more. It certainly didn't disappoint me.....oh yes be prepared for alot of slapping! (so what else is new???!!) and Hank's (the Pharoah bad guy)hillarious posh lispy accent...hillarious!

superb..................

this film is the sequel to Night Of The Museum, and is just as good.

It stars Ben Stiller, Dick Van Dyke, Robin Williams, Amy Adams, Owen Wilson, Rami Malek, Hank Azaria, Bill Hader, Ricky Gervais, Christopher Guest and Steve Coogan.

When the Museum of Natural History is closed for upgrades and renovations, the museum pieces are moved into federal storage at the famous Washington Museums - namely The Smithsonian Institute.

The Smithsonian Institute, which houses the world's largest museum complex with more than 136 million items in its collections, ranging from the plane Amelia Earhart (played by Amy Adams) flew on her non-stop solo flight across the Atlantic and Al Capone's rap sheet and mug shot to Dorothy's ruby slippers, Fonzie's jacket from Happy Days, the still from M*A*S*H and Archie Bunker's lounge chair from All in the Family.

As Jedediah Smith (played by Owen Wilson) and Octavius (played by Steve Coogan) are sent to the Smithsonian by mistake, Larry (played by Ben Stiller) with the aid of a forwarded Cv sent to them becomes another caretaker at the Smithsonian in order to rescue them.

However Larry and co, have not counted on Kahmunrah, an evil Pharaoh who comes to life with the re- establishing of a tablet as a magical force in the museum bringing the old exhibits (Such as Theodore Roosevelt played by Robin Williams and Dexter) and new exhibits (like General Custer played by Bill Hader and Al Capone played by Jon Bernthal) back to life, and in conflict with each other.

Well worth watching !

I really did not enjoy the museum. Its okay but I perfered the 1st one.

Some people might like it but I would not waste my money on it.

As good as number one!

I give this film 4 stars in the context of family entertainment genre. I truly enjoyed it. I found it funny and loved the new evil but so funny character with a lisp. Very good follow up idea to go for the Smithsonian! I want to watch it again. I want to go to that museum! As good as number one!

stick with the first edition

Not as good as the first one but still some good bits

Wasn't as good as the first but still good!

An iffy plot and the effects were slightly iffy. A pretty good film for those that haven't seen the first. Otherwise its a case of bite your cheek and enjoy where you can.

Very Funny

I thought this film was very entertaining, it is a great family film. When i rented it i didnt expect it to be as good as the first film as not many follow ups are but it is just as good. It was a completely different storyline which i thought was good and some funny new characters.
