Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb wraps up the storyline in a hilarious, full of adventure and dramatic 3rd chapter that not only it's the best of the 3 movies but it also has some exciting scenes like the fight sequence inside the painting, Hugh Jackman's amazing cameo and above all? A sweet fair well to the late Robin Williams who will always be remembered. (10/10)
... View MoreOne last night at the museum At the Museum of Natural History, there's a new exhibit being unveiled. Larry Daley, who manages the night exhibit where the exhibits come to life because of the Tablet of Ahkmenrah, is in charge of the presentation. But when the exhibits go awry, Larry finds himself in trouble. He learns the Tablet is corroding so he does some research and learns that Cecil, the former museum guard, was at the site when the Tablet was discovered. He tells Larry they were warned if they remove it could mean the end. Larry realizes it means the end of the magic. He talks to Ahkmenrah who says that he doesn't know anything. Only his father the Pharoah knows the Tablet's secrets. He learns that the Pharaoh was sent to the London museum. We all know the premise; a special Egyptian tablet makes it possible for all the exhibits in the museum to come to life at night. What I'm glad about is that this third film is not a rehash of the previous two; its predecessors had a similar theme of the main villain wanting the table,t which were different enough to enjoy but Secret of the Tomb does something completely different with its plot and execution which is an awesome change I enjoyed a lot. Of course, another thing we enjoy with these movies is the actual museum coming to life and they do some really cool stuff with that idea and it's awesome to see these historical figures interact with statues and even paintings!To make it even worse they recast the son, Nick, into this new actor who looks nothing like the other boy who probably would be of a somewhat comparable age so it's beyond me why they did it, but the far worse offense than simple recasting was to change the entire personality of the boy. For the previous two films, he was a good kid, precocious, close to his dad and loved that the museum came to live. Now he's a lazy, back- talking punk who wants to drop out of school. Underground DJ having wild parties at his dad's place at 3 in the morning and who seems to care less about the museum or any of its inhabitants. Why rewrite and ruin a character that way for some tromped up father/son angst that feels forced and falls terribly flat?I think that I know of I don't know. I would recommend it to my family. The rating of this movie is PG. This movie is good. If I could give this movie a grade it will be B-.
... View MoreR.I.P. Robin Williams, who was a human being with a amazing heart and brought cheers to peoples. However this just wasn't that good of a send off movie for him and I feel bad for saying that. But this just wasn't a good flick to sit through, it isn't a terrible family film but not something that comes close to standing out. I personally think the second installment is better than this one, at least from what I can remember. The actors seemed to try very hard to act cartoony and comedic for the kid audiences. But I think even kids past the age of 10 would even think some parts came off pretty darn lame. The jokes just came off flat and overdone, like they knew the jokes weren't all that funny. So they try to super exaggerate everything and it goes on and on with it. I am pretty sure most audiences was like "okay we get the point lets move on already". It's like Shawn Levy was trying to end it as a trilogy and a cash in. So although he didn't have good enough materials or ideas, he kind of just went with it without much effort. As a matter of fact, most of the actors just didn't seem to care and that includes Hugh Jackman. The whole impression I got from the acting level was just *whatever*. And that practically sums up this movie...Whatever.4.5/10
... View MoreThe NIGHT AT THE MUSEUM franchise continues as night guard Larry(Ben Stiller)has the assignment of managing the museum's new night exhibit. The grand opening presentation goes amok and causes a frightened audience full of dignitaries to run for their lives. Larry finds himself in the worst trouble of his career, but discovers that an ancient tablet in the Egyptian exhibit needs immediate repair and it requires a hurried trip to a museum in London to correct this problem. Larry at this time is also trying to mend a disagreement with his son Nick(Skyler Gisondo).Larry and Nick will make the trip to England with many of the favorite characters of the museum. Teddy Roosevelt(Robin Williams), Attila(Patrick Gallagher), Octavius(Steve Coogan), Dexter the monkey and others will tromp through the museum to locate the Egyptian exhibit to find the secret to repairing the golden Tablet of Ahkmenrah(Rami Malek). Without the tablet, the museum's characters will not be able to come to life at night; losing the magic of the museum.I found this movie more interesting than the previous "Nights" in spite of Stiller's lumbering throughout. His scenes trying to understand his son were weak and not genuine. The special effects really made up for the simple story line. William's scenes are bittersweet. The movie does liven up to tunes like "Calling London" by The Clash, "Dancing Queen" by Abba and "Shake Your Groove Thing" by Peaches & Herb.Also in the cast: Ricky Gervais, Mizuo Peck, Owen Wilson, Ben Kingsley, Rebel Wilson and Dan Stevens as Sir Lancelot. Also small roles for Dick Van Dyke and the late Mickey Rooney.
