Night at the Museum, like the Pirates of the Caribbean, was comfortably in that 'this should never have worked' movie bracket. Just as the thought of Johnny Depp playing a swashbuckling pirate was way too obvious for one of cinemas most charismatic actors, Ben Stiller to appear in the hit kid's movie of 2006 also looked rather unlikely. But Depp devoured the pirate cliché and made the role his own, Captain Jack Sparrow one of cinemas most endearing comic anti heroes and Stiller, of course, now the most famous loser museum assistant in cinematic history. I think we both know which the more important role was for the cinema archives. For Stiller, all his roles are pretty ... Read the complete review

As a married adult, with no kids of my own, I fully admit to loving the first Night at the Museum film. I thought it was excellent, and really enjoyed watching Larry the Night Guard working out ways to control and get along with all the different exhibits in his museum. So when the sequel was released I was very happy. But, after I had watched the sequel, at home on DVD with my husband, I was left thinking, 'typical sequel; enjoyable but not as good as the first film.' The film starts with a couple of scenes that show how Larry, who had some inventions in the first film that were seen as pretty pointless, has become rich and famous in the 2 years since the ...

~~~~~~~~~~~ INTRODUCTION ~~~~~~~~~~~ A trip to Blockbuster with my wife usually turns into an epic negotiation. We both approach the counter with our respective choices, ready to do battle to choose which films we will take home that night. I usually champion thrillers, dramas and action films, while she usually plumps for rom coms, family films and corset busting period pieces. After the necessary posturing, bluff and bluster, usually involving bribes such as toffee popcorn or a tub of Haagen Dazs, we usually manage to compromise. On this occasion, I agreed to make do without Public Enemy in favour of Night at The Museum 2: Battle of the ... Read the complete review

Night at the Museum 2 is the sequel to Night at the Museum (bet you never worked that one out!), in the original we found out that all the exhibits in New York's Natural History Museum came to life at night, due to the power of the Tablet of Ahkmenrah. Now he's back, but things have changed. == Synopsis == Larry has given up his position of night guard at the museum, and is running a successful company which produces and sells his inventions. His ideas for the inventions have come from his time as a night guard, the over sized dog bone (which he used to keep the T-Rex happy), the unloseable keyring (after the monkey kept pinching his) and the ...

I quite enjoyed Night At The Museum: it was a fresh and new style of film, with the quirky comedy of Ben Stiller added in for good measure. I was not surprised when I heard there would be a sequel, and on the plane on our way back from Canada the other day, it was the first of two films showing. Following on from where the first film left off, it follows Larry Daley, now a high flying entrepreneur, as he returns to defend his friends he made as a night guard at the museum. These friends are no ordinary friends, though - they are the exhibits at the museum, important historical figures who come to life after dark thanks to a special stone tablet that has ...
