“Night at the Museum 2”: it would be better if it did not exist!

"Everything comes to life"
To begin with, I should say that the trailer of the film seemed to be more interesting for me than the film itself actually was. It happens very often that after a successful first part of the film the second, third and etc. parts follow. But as practice shows, it does not always work and many viewers are disappointed after watching the continuation though there are some exceptions of course. Unfortunately "Night at the Museum 2" is not an exception.
The first 20 minutes of the film were so boring that I thought: “when all the fun moments that I saw in the trailer will take place?” But I did not find them. The movie was pretty boring. I kept looking at my watch, thinking about when it's over. Certainly, this film is a family one, preferably or kids.
Ben Stiller has not surprised me with anything new. Although I expected much more from him, he has not met my expectations. And I can say that this is not the first film with Stiller when he did not meet my expectations.
Amy Adams is another story. I can not say anything about the others, but her heroine irritated me very much. She was too intrusive. It was really annoying. My positive impressions are only about the three heroes of this film: Ivan the Terrible, Napoleon, Al Capone. They maintained the atmosphere of humor in the film, especially the scene with the hero of the movie "Star Wars".
So, my rating for “Night at the Museum 2” will be 3 out of 10 (though IMDb gives it 6 out of 10). What are your thoughts?

  5. "Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian" unfortunately falls way short of my expectations. The first "Night at the Museum" was good, as the idea was novel and it was packed with fun adventures. That story unfolded nicely, like removing the wrapping paper to reveal pleasant surprises.

    The sequel does not achieve the same. It has a flat and boring plot. Nothing unfolds but just happens for no reason. There are little fun moments, and the supposed jokes fail to make anyone laugh. The childish arguments that happens not once but twice in the movie are simply annoying. Furthermore, moving statues lost its novelty. The "new" elements in the movie are lifted straight from "Harry Potter" films and "The Mummy" films, making "Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian" so lame. Most parts of the movie bored me.
