"You hear that humming sound",
By
This review is from: NEW Stiller/adams/wilson/williams - Night At The Museum-battle Of (Blu-ray) (Blu-ray)
"You know what that sound is?" ... "It's rhetorical!"This is the ongoing saga of Larry the night guard and his little friends. In the sequel to "Night at the Museum," Larry Daley is now a successful entrepreneur. He is all but forgotten his museum buddies. They have been packed up for shipment to the Smithsonian. However, something has gone awry or a Rah, Kahmunrah that is. Will Larry be able to save his friends in the world from a certain evil being (Hank Azaria)? On the other hand, will he assist this being in using the Golden tablet to unleash the underworld? To add to the complication it looks like Larry has found himself a new girl Amelia Earhart (Amy Adams.) However, she is not real and he does not know how to tell her this. Can anything good come from this relationship? Sequels are hard to make sometimes they surpass the original at other times they are a pail reflection's. I am afraid the sequel is more of the same and adds nothing new to the saga of Larry the night guard. However, it is still fun to watch. For those people interested in the technical I have only seen the Blu-Ray version and of course, this type of movie lends itself well to Blu-Ray for sights and sounds. One of the drawbacks is that you spend good money to avoid commercials yet this presentation had so many coming attractions that you forget what you are about tom watch.

Even Better than the First!,
By Charles Evans "Call me Kevin" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: NIGHT AT THE MUSEUM:BATTLE OF THE SMI (DVD)
My wife and I enjoyed the original "Night at the Museum" we expected to the sequel to be typical of seconds... not quite as good. However, "Battle of the Smithsonian" bucks this trend - and in our opinion it is significantly better than the original. The plot is a bit silly - our favorite night-watchman had made it big as inventor of useless products. His new position as CEO means that he is no longer working at the museum. The museum has also undergone a few changes - namely most of the exhibits are being shipped into storage. The storage is below the Smithsonian... and that is where the action begins!"Battle of the Museum" blends, action, humor and a numerous celebrity cameos into a fun-filled flick. The story introduces us to some Egyptian pharaoh (can't remember which one), Ivan the Terrible, Napoleon, Amelia Earhart , Abe Licoln, and miniature Einstein bobbleheads! The star of the story is the incredibly imaginative action sequences... the jumping in-and-out pictures, the banter of Abe Lincoln.... all of it light-hearted and very entertaining. As far as the acting - Ben Stiller was .... Ben Stiller - you either love him or you hate him. We really did enjoy Amy Adams as Amelia Earhart - she seems to have nailed the accent, look and walk - plus she was very funny! Final Verdict - Recommended for everyone (This is a very kid friendly movie) but it highly recommended for everyone who enjoyed the original. 5 Stars 50 of 53 people found the following review helpful

More of the Same? Yes, but well done,
By A. Vander Meulen "Omnivorous reader" - Published on Amazon.com
Most sequels either fail miserably at trying to "top" the original ("Miss Congeniality 2" springs to mind), or succeed beyond all expectations ("Star Trek 2: The Wrath of Khan" is a good example)."Night at the Museum 2, The Battle of the Smithsonian" hits neither of these extremes: it has no pretensions about being a great film. It seems the writers and producers just wanted to make a film that their audience would enjoy, and they succeeded. Certainly, the original film was better and more original in many respects, and there is lots of continuity with the first film, as many of the characters have returned. There are also some notable additions to the cast, such as Amy Adams - who is superb as Amelia Earhart (as many of my fellow reviewers here have noted). Yet, the scene stealer in the film though is not Ms. Adams, but Hank Azaria, who plays the Egyptian Pharaoh Kahmunrah: the evil and inept older brother of Ahkmenrah (the Pharaoh from the original film). Azaria's Karloff-esque character is really well done. One of the best scenes in the film is when Kahmunrah and Ben Stiller's character (Larry Daley) argue over the fate of Jedidiah (played by Owen Wilson). I heard a rising tide of belly laughs all around me as this scene progressed: a salute to the old time vaudeville comedic dialog routines, played to near perfection by two excellent actors. Laurel and Hardy would have been proud! Kudos to the Smithsonian for the unprecedented access and support they provided to the producers of this film. I've visited the Washington Mall and Smithsonian Museums many times, and it was great to see them on the big screen, and great fun seeing the havoc and mayhem that special effects allowed the film's characters to inflict upon our national treasures. I like this film because it is honest with itself and its audience, and consistently delivers laughs and smiles. Is it a great film? No. Is it funny? Definitely. Is it a great way to spend a couple of hours with your better half, or the kids? Absolutely. For that reason I'll give it Four Stars: enjoy! 27 of 33 people found the following review helpful

Clean for Kids, Enjoyable for Whole Family,
By Michele - Published on Amazon.com
Finally, a movie all ages can enjoy. And please take note, Hollywood -- yes, it can be done without swearing, sex or violence. Clever dialog, great acting and effects. We're all waiting for it to come out on video. We would even have taken the kids to see it again if the theater experience wasn't so expensive. One of the only criticisms is that we would have liked to have seen more of Robin Williams character. Rest assured, this is one movie that won't leave you jimmy-jacked!
