Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian - Sequelitis comes to life

by millinocket millinocket is a Lead on Epinions in Movies, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 200, May 24 '09
Pros: Special effects are great fun, the actors try hard
Cons: The story lacks focus, heart and humor
I have now been in a movie theater two times in one week.  This may be unprecedented.  Either I'm changing my DVD existence or.......it's summer blockbuster season!  I love these Big Movies on the Big Screen - popcorn flicks deserve real ...

Ben Stiller Has Another Adventure in Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian

by dragonfire88 dragonfire88 is a Top Reviewer on Epinions in Movies, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 50, May 22 '09
Pros: Fun, entertaining family friendly movie.
Cons: Could be too silly for some.  Predictable. 
I really enjoyed Night at the Museum when it came out in December of 2006 and I added the DVD to my collection.  When I heard a sequel was being made, I knew I would see it.  I just went to see Night ...

The United States of "Don't Touch That Thing Right In Front Of You"

by captaind captaind is a Top Reviewer on Epinions in Movies, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 50, May 23 '09
Pros: Has some inspired moments...
Cons: ... the rest is quite mundane...
If there's one film I hadn't been expecting a sequel to, it was Night at the Museum - somehow it felt like they'd done all that could be done with the idea.  However the decision-makers obviously thought otherwise and Ben Stiller is back in ...

More Monkey Slapping Fun in Night at the Museum 2

by Goatius Goatius is a Top Reviewer on Epinions in Movies, , Jun 15 '09
Pros: Funny kids fare, some fun performances from Hader, Adams
Cons: Pretty blatant rehash of the first film, not really aiming for much here
Bigger, louder, faster - that's about as exact a recipe for a sequel as Hollywood can muster.  So what happens when the sequel is to a film already dizzy with big, loud, and fast?  More seems dangerous, as the audience may not tolerate all ...

Night at the Museum 2: A Disappointingly Desperate Poverty of Creativity...

by mrkstvns, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 50, Jun 01 '09
Pros: Some neat effects, entertains small minds for 90 minutes.
Cons: Typical sequel weaknesses. NOT a good movie.
I took my kindergarten age kid to see Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian --- a movie as badly titled as it is badly written, horribly directed, and horrendously derivative. To say this movie is as imaginitive as the drivel you find on ...

An Average Sequal For A Museum That Comes To Life

by dev-n-diva Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Jun 22 '09
Pros: some main characters come back, the ending was good, Robin Williams
Cons: cartoonish and childish a lot of the time, rather mundane
My family really wanted to go and see Night At The Museum Battle Of The Smithsonian. I was not as excited as they were as I had caught the trailer on television and though that it looked corny. However my daughter talked me into taking her to see it ...

Amazing technical achievements, but a disspirted story.

by rmurray847 , Jun 25 '09
Pros: Some great effects and clever moments.  Amy Adams & Hank Azaria.
Cons: Uninteresting & uninspired story, and some poor performances.
It’s hard for me to grasp that the actors/comics who play Reno Sheriff’s Department members Dangle & Junior are the same guys who wrote the 2 NIGHT AT THE MUSEUM movies.  It’s like telling me that Lenny Bruce wrote BAMBI.  ...

Family fun and that's good enough

by HawgWyld Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 200, May 31 '09
Pros: Entertaining; great special effects; film moves quickly
Cons: Shallow depictions of historical characters; moralizing that is off-putting
Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian is, of course, the sequel to 2006's Night at the Museum.In the 2006 movie, Ben Stiller played a loser (Larry Daley) who became a security guard at the Museum of Natural History in New ...

“Hank Azaria steals the show!!”

by pcomsec , Jun 01 '09
Pros: Hank Azaria, Jonah Hill, Thomas Lennon and Robert Ben Garant
Cons: nothing
Ahoy, there be SPOILERS ahead! This was one of my movie double features I saw last weekend. And much like "Drag Me To Hell", I was not really enthused to see it. I hadn’t seen the first "Night at the Museum", mainly because it looked to be a ...

A Movie That Is Good For The WHole Family.

by badbonz0007 Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Jul 13 '09
Pros: No nudity and no bad language.
Cons: Not enough of these clean movies to go around.
  It amazes me how they can use computers to make things come to life time after time. In both of these movies they do an excellent job with the computer graphics. Ben Stiller who plays Larry Daley, who is the old guard at the Museum a couple of ...

A Clearly Successful Comedy

by thewasp , Jun 06 '09
Pros: New situations, Hank Azaria
Cons: Robin Williams underused; Stiller's change of profession
I resisted watching the original "Night at the Museum" until a colleague made a gift of it to me, and was duly amused.  Had I bothered to review it I would have given it three stars.  As a person who never believed sequels are necessarily worse ...

History repeats itself!! Poor Sequel!!

by ram_cv , Oct 11 '09
Pros: Amy Adams, some humorous moments
Cons: Stale feel, Thin plot, No novelty compared with original
Introduction ICE Age 3 revived my dwindling interests in the sequels to successful movies. So I decided to check out Ben Stiller’s Night at the Museum II – Battle of the Smithsonian. ...

The Exhibits are on the MOVE!

by frzldmm , Aug 26 '09
Pros: Ben Stiller, Amy Adams, Robin Williams and all the Exhibits
Cons: Ended too soon?????
I loved the first Night at the Museum movie so much; I couldn't wait to see the second one. Now, in the first movie, Larry Daly learns as night security guard at the Museum of Natural History that an ancient curse from an Egyptian Stone that ...

Better Than The First One and Again: See It In IMAX

by groove1 , May 30 '09
Pros: Special effects, funny, family friendly, IMAX experience is awesome
Cons: None really
You do not need to see the original Night at the Museum to enjoy the sequel.  There are parts that allude to the original and will make a little more sense if you have seen it, but it is not a prerequisite.  Once again, the sequel should be ...
