Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb
I always give spoilers so consider yourself warned. =)
Colleen’s Movie Review
Romance: Seeing Pocahontas and Teddy Roosevelt together was cute and I loved Tilly (Rebel Wilson) and Laaa the Neanderthal together.
Special Effects: The dinosaurs were cool. Loved the snake.
What I Liked: Pretty much everything. This movie was funny. I laughed hard several times. I like the monkey. All the cast. I really, really liked Rebel Wilson and then at the end when Ben Stiller and Robin Williams are sharing their final words, it felt terribly sad but at the same time appropriate. MeetMatt-Conf it provides you more information. Like he was saying goodbye to all of us. Huge Ackman. (snicker)
What I’d Change: I can’t even think of anything. It was pretty much perfect and so fun.
The Tagline: One final night to save the day
That feels just about right.
Hunky Hero: Lancelot was a great hunky hero. I loved the Hugh Jackman cameo and that he could laugh at himself and his roles. It was such a fun surprise to see him.
The Villain: The only villain was the danger that always happens when a museum awakens for the first time. That and the tablet being taken.
Best Line: Huge Ackman. Still giggling about this. Seriously, go see this movie.
Also the entire ending with Robin Williams…
Teddy Roosevelt: We’re ready.
Larry Daley: I’m not.
Teddy Roosevelt: Let us go, son.
Best Scene: There were a lot of good ones. Tilly making out with Laaa, the end was great, the monkey running through ducts with a phone strapped to him, the snarky teen comments, but my favorite was Huge Ackman. =)
Recommended for YA Fans: Absolutely yes.
Compared to the Book: There should be one.

A Guy’s Perspective
Bio: I’m Colleen’s husband, Brad. I’m the youngest of four kids. I’ve been Deaf since I was five so I watch every movie with caption glasses. I love sports and reading (I’ll admit I’ve read Twilight but prefer thrillers like Jack Reacher). My favorite ice cream is mint chocolate chip. I’ll never turn down a taco. I write poetry. My man credentials include: a high school career in wrestling, watching sports every time my wife is too busy to notice, a receding hairline, two repaired ACL’s, and a stockpile of Axe body wash.
Review:
Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb
I was pleasantly surprised by this third Night at the Museum installment as it contained many likeable characters and a few laugh out loud moments. When a tablet that brings a museum exhibit to life begins to lose power, it’s up to Ben Stiller and the gang to find the only person who knows how to repair it, but this time it’s at the British Museum in London.
Good comedy is extremely hard to do, and while most of the jokes and action were entertaining, a few did fall flat. The returning cast performs rather admirably and newcomer Lancelot was the showstopper of the film. Seeing Hugh Jackman, who, not surprisingly, plays himself was a hoot. Rebel Wilson also did a decent job.
The conclusion was a bit long, but if not for Robin Williams’ and Mickey Rooney’s deaths, it would have felt overly sentimental and indulgent. Instead, the ending gave us an opportunity as an audience to bid the two celebrities a fond farewell, so it was a fitting tribute to end the series. Overall, the movie was solid and probably was my favorite of the three.
I give this film 7 Hulk Smash Fists.
Brad
