Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb (2014)

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

"Night at the Museum:Secret of the Tomb, Will have you monkeying around" We all have those movies that is like school for us. Well this is one its historical and it's funny. I love it because i feel like i'm at school and that i'm learning a little bit more historyIn this movie they use an museum that's in New York and London. The main characters are Larry Daley(Ben Stiller),Theodore Roosevelt(Robin Williams),Ahkmenrah(Rami Malek),Nick Daley(Skyler Gisondo),and Dexter (Crystal The Monkey). This movie is about an tablet tomb that start dying because of it using too much of its magic,and the gang has to try and find out how to heal it.the actors did very well acting too i don't know how they made the dinosaurs came to life but it was cool.I liked how the movie was educational and funny at the same time and also how it brought excitement and how it kids and adults can learn a little history the actors did very well acting they did not mess up at all i like all the parts of the movie.I would recommend this to 10-35 years of age because of how much you can learn and cause of some content. I will give this movie a PG movie rate because of the type of history you can learn i will also give it an 5 star rating because of how wonderful it is.

Okay, the "night In The Museum" series has been fun. But I think 3 episodes has pretty well covered things. You really only have 2 components here -- special effects and enjoying particular actors. And, there's only so much special effects you can digest until it begins getting old. After all, the plots aren't very deep. In fact, it occurred to me early on that certain elements of the story would have made a very good Indiana Jones story.And so, on to the actors. Ben Stiller is dependable in almost any movie he performs in. Kudos to him for the many hours of enjoyment he has given us! Robin Williams as Teddy Roosevelt...well, what can I say. A little sad seeing him in one of his very final efforts; I don't really see how the series can continue without him. Owen Wilson...dismissed. Ricky Gervais as the director of the museum...no thanks. Dan Stevens was quite good as Sir Lancelot. I would like to see Rami Malek in other roles; handsome and interesting. Interesting to see Ben Kingsley as a pharaoh. Great to see Dick Van Dyke early on in the film, as well as Mickey Rooney. Cool that Hugh Jackman makes an appearance.The ending -- which by the way was stupid -- seems to be indicating that, indeed, the franchise is over. This one sorta ran out of gas. But, it was GOOD while it lasted.

This movie failed to impress me. Maybe because I was tired after hours of driving or just maybe it was that lackluster. I don't think the movie was bad, just not good.Ben Stiller reprises his role as the night watchman and he did it with the same deadpan style that many of his comedic roles dictate. Stiller as the straight man was never that funny to me. My favorite role of his to this day is Derek Zoolander.The movie is still a good choice for kids. The humor is not too adult and some of the characters can even spark an impromptu history lesson. At the very least I got to see Robin Williams in his final role.

The 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.
