Excellent, Without a doubt!!
Absolutely Fantastic
This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
This film served as great entertainment with its colorful cast and numerous plot twists. Levy used all characters from its previous version of this movie and obviously comfortable with Levy's directing style and the film's dramatic tone. It was brilliant! i have almost lost all my adventures and interests of my life. Thanks to this wonderful film. One thing i didn't like was an expression of the caretaker's son, that was dreadful. I think Levy shouldn't have chosen that actor. However, rest of the content and actors were okay, just like usual.
This was a good way to end the trilogy. It wasn't over complicated and I liked that the story and the problem in this one was a very simple one. I liked the addition of Sir Lancelot (Dan Stevens did a really great job and looked pretty awesome in the role) The addition of Laa was very funny and one of the highlights of the movie for me. Also it was nice seeing Ben Kingsley in this movie. That was another highlight of the movie. the only problem I had is that we didn't get to see much of the new museum and we didn't get to see too many of their exhibitions coming to life, I was hoping they gave us more background characters coming to life. the museum felt kinda empty and we only get to see a couple of rooms here and there so I don't know if things were cut in the editing room or what happened, but they could have done a lot more in terms of things coming to life. Kinda weird that the building felt so empty at times. I liked it a lot more than the second one and the jokes were a little better.
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.
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.
