Night At The Museum: Battle Of The Smithsonian (DVD) Reviews

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 ...  Read the complete review

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 ...  Read the complete review

Night at the Museum 2 is a follow up to the smash hit "Night at the Museum" starring Ben Stiller and a host of other top names: Owen Wilson, Ricky Gervais, Steve Coogan, Robyn Williams... It follows on from the first film, but we see night guard Larry (stiller) has become a successful inventor, has little time for anyone and ...  Read the complete review

~~~~~~~~~~~ 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 ...  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 ...  Read the complete review

The film centres on Ben Stiller's character Larry who is now an inventor of new products which is about to land him a deal with Walmart. However, Larry decides to return to the Museum of Natural History in new York where he was a ...  Read the complete review

I quite liked the the original movie. I thought it had a nice balance of humour and invention with a reasonable story line to carry it along. In spite of the presence of Ben Stiller, who I regard as possibly the most over-rated "star" over recent years, he wasn't out of place in this. A strong supporting cast (Steve Coogan, Owen ...  Read the complete review

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 ...  Read the complete review

I hated the first film in this series. How can you take Ben Stiller, Ricky Gervais, Robin Williams and Owen Wilson and end up with a film that isn't funny? The answer is Night at the Museum! However, this second one seemed to be better, so I gave it a go. The story is that the museum is closing and moving somewhere else. Since the first ...  Read the complete review

I loved the first one with the idea of the museum coming to life at night really playing into a childhood fantasy I used to have, so I was first in line to see the sequel. I couldn't really picture how they would carry on without repeating the events of the first movie but was keen to find out. This film sees Larry having made it big ...  Read the complete review

Another great film from stiller. As soon as this film came out at the cinema i had to go and see it as i love the actor ben stiller as he has some amzing films along with owen wilson. I really enjoyed watching the hilarious comedy, it has some great ideas in it and i dont think that this film is on just for the younger ones but a great film for ...  Read the complete review

An absolutely hilarious movie. Ben Stiller, Owen Wilson and Steve Coogan return to us with greater style and better moves. Larry Daley has left his job as a night guard and has finally appeared to achieve his dream. He invents things and has a well paid job. However when his friends are moved from the Museum of Natural History to the ...  Read the complete review

Having watched the first Night at the Museum i was excited to see the sequel but was extremely disapointed at the story plot and humour used i found it very bland and dull, loosing intrest half way through. Unlike the first this film jumped from historical character to historical character not allowing the audience to get to know them. The film ...  Read the complete review

Night at the Museum wasn't exactly perfect, but nevertheless it dleivered 90 minutes of distracting humour and action that didn't end up being too bad. I enjoyed it. Not enough to watch a sequel though. That was untill the incredible cast was announced. Amy Adams as Amelia Earahrt is enchant-ing. Hank Azaria in a trio of hilarious roles proves ...  Read the complete review

Nobody, I think, expected that a sequel to Night at the Museum was a particularly good idea. The first film was enjoyable enough, but was there really enough there to warrant a sequel? Apparently somebody thought the original raked in enough money that we needed another, and considering my low expectations, I was actually pretty entertained by ...  Read the complete review

With the amazing success of the first film the second had a lot to live up too. But don't think you have too watch the first film to understand the second, you can get along fine without watching the first. The film is about a former museum night guard who goes to visit the museum at night, when the exhibits come to life! I think that ...  Read the complete review

~ When the lights go off the battle is on ~ Monday nights are always a quiet night in for me mainly with my mum and little brother so we tend to get through films on a Monday night. So last night while we were all feeling knackered and didn't know what to watch as nothing was on as usual Jake offered the film Night at the Museum ...  Read the complete review

Night At The Museum 2 is a fun packed and entertaining film, more targeted towards families with kids. However, its not just kids that would enjoy the film, as the cast boasts some massive names like Ben Stiller, Owen Wilson and Ricky Gervais. Firstly, I would comment that the second Night At The Museum film is not as effective as the ...  Read the complete review

Night at the museum was an extremely funny movie and I was hoping that number 2 would be just as funny. Sometimes with sequels they are never as good and I think the reason why number 1 worked was because it was new and different, would 2 be just a similar story again, rehashed to make a sequel? Well, I didn't have to worry, number 2 ...  Read the complete review
