Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian (2009)

Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

Don't listen to the negative reviews

Best movie ever!

Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

The concept that fuels 'Night At The Museum: Battle Of The Smithsonian (2009)' loses some of its inherent charm a second time around, especially considering that aside from a broad location change it remains largely the same and so does the underlying narrative, with our heroes searching for a macguffin while they have to contend with the now living exhibits attempting to exhume themselves from their plastic-fleshed half-existence. There's some half-cocked fun to be found if you're willing to look, but otherwise it's generally tired, silly and uninspired stuff that's disappointing even for a sequel to a flick that was only decent to begin with. It's not terrible, but, like most of its characters, it seems to be lacking a heart and a brain. 5/10

Larry Daley was a night guard of a museum but he is now a CEO. One day, a friend, an exhibit calls him to help. Exhibits will be moved to a warehouse. Larry starts help them.This is second film of Night at the Museum series and this time's setting is the Smithsonian Museums in Washington D. C. The story looks like a real story because it was shot in a real place. And I went to Washington because I wanted see the Smithsonian Museums with my eyes. It was very nice and I hoped exhibits move in the night but they didn't. But I like this, the second one the best.This film's genre is adventure and comedy. I like its comedy part. Ben Stiller ad-libs his lines and it is very funny. And my favorite scene is Kahmunrah and Larry quarrel about a birdcage.

I don't understand the rating both here and on Rotten Tomatoes. Can't see how such great acting can get underrated.This movie it's above all about characters. It does not have much action, so perhaps the public who are all about special effects will not be served.What this movie has, and what it's more and more hard to find in theaters these days, is magnificent acting and lots of good humorous scenes. Not at all a typical diluted blockbuster production.How do people rate poorly this movie who made almost half a billion at box office? The third movie of the series is a weak production, yet it has better ratting.. I don't get it. The Battle of the Smithsonian is full of - for once - enjoyable moments.

Larry Daley (Ben Stiller) has moved on from his night watchman job. The American Museum of Natural History is closed for renovations. The exhibits are moved to the Smithsonian in Washington where they must battle the forces of evil Pharaoh Kahmunrah (Hank Azaria) for the Tablet of Ahkmenrah.Basically it's a story looking for an excuse to bring in new characters and a new location. A lot of the charm is missing mainly due to the fact that many of the characters are separated and reduced in role. There is one great addition. Amy Adams is fantastic as Amelia Earhart and she makes a great duo with Ben Stiller.
