La Nuit au musée : Le Secret des pharaons

While viewing the film it is rather sad watching the final performance of Mickey Rooney who played Gus in the first film and robin Williams in one of his final film roles as Theodore Roosevelt who loons rather sad and not his usual energetic self but I think he manages to do a decent job in the role. In this installment, the tablet that keeps the exhibits alive at night is starting to lose its power and the only way to prevent the magic from disappearing is going to the British museum which would be able to restore the power of the tablet back to its glory, I will say while in some ways it closes one chapter being Larry daily but leaves the story to continue with another.

Funny sequel as amusing and spectacular as the former ones. In this third film of the 'Night at the Museum', the opening scene is in Egypt, 1938. After that, the present day in New York City where the divorced father named Larry (Ben Stiller) and his son, going on his job as night vigilance at Museum of Natural History of New York City, where, unknown to outsiders, the exhibits spring chaotically to life after dusk. But his allegedly easy life results to be a roller-coaster when a big event is going on at the Museum of Natural History. Larry Daley (Ben Stiller) is overseeing the event while Dr. McPhee (Ricky Gervais) is in attendance. Larry gathers the favorite exhibits, including Teddy Roosevelt (Robin Williams), Attila The Hun (Patrick Gallagher), Sacajawea (Mizuo Peck), Dexter the monkey, and Rexy the T-Rex skeleton. Elsewhere, Jedediah (Owen Wilson) and Octavius (Steve Coogan) are watching a funny cat video on YouTube. Larry even meets a caveman named Laa (also Ben Stiller in a dual role), who was modeled to look like Larry as a joke and is usually grunting. Again the ancient animals, beasts, historic roles and miniature are brought to life originating wreak havoc and complications for the unlucky night watchman. Thus several animals and historic roles come to life, like a a skeletal Tyrannosaurus Rex, monkeys, besides Neardenthal cavemen, Vikings, Attile (Patrick Gallaher) and the Huns, Sacajawea (Mizuo Peck), Teddy Roosevelt (Robin Williams) and Octavius (Steve Coogan), a cowboy (Owen Wilson) and Egyptian young Ahkmenrah (Rami Malek), among others. Since the Tablet now brings the British exhibits to life, the band first encounters a triceratops skeleton that chases after them. They are saved by Sir Lancelot (Dan Stevens), who punches the triceratops in the nose. One final night to save the day !.

This blockbuster displays action, adventures,fantasy and an enjoyable father-son relationship. This fantastic film starts splendidly and goes on in a real sense of wonder and magic, winds up an overlong bombastic wild ride made by means of magnificent special effects and with exciting mayhem and pursuits at the museum. In ¨Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb the ancient Egyptian¨the fantastic tablet is beginning to deteriorate, causing disastrous effects on the museum's peculiar inhabitants, so with the help of Robin Williams's waxwork Teddy Roosevelt, Owen Wilson's miniaturised comboy, his nemesis, Steve Coogan's inch-high cowboy, Larry: Ben Stiller sets out to restore calm. Spectacular images and computer generator set pieces action with several known personages and animals can not erase the charm of characters and ideas especially in the hands of peerless casting . It packs glamorous and luxurious cinematography by Guillermo Navarro and moving musical score by the composer of the previous films, Alan Silvestri, Robert Zemeckis's usual musician. The picture is marvelously realized with phenomenal production values and well directed by Shawn Levy, though inferior than previous entries. Shawn is an expert on family genre as he proved in ¨ Cheaper by the dozen¨,¨Pink Panther¨,¨Just married¨ and of course ¨Night at the Museum trilogy¨. The film contains numerous scenes have you on the edge of your seat with a stunning array of overwhelming images to be enjoyed for all family.

¨Night at the Museum¨trilogy is formed as follows: ¨Night at the Museum¨(2006) by Shawn Levy with Ben Stiller, Carla Cugino, Robin Williams, Dick Van Dyke, Ricky Gervais, Bill Cobbs, Mickey Rooney. ¨Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian¨ (2009) with Ben Stiller, Hanz Azaria, Amy Adams, Alain Chabat, Christopher Guest, Patrick Gallaher, Mizuo Peck, Robin Williams, Owen Wilson, Steve Coogan, Bill Hader. ¨Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb¨(2014) by Shawl Levy with Skyler Gisondo, Rami Malek, Mizuo Peck, Ben Kingsley, Crystal the Monkey, Matt Frewer, Andra Martin, Dick Van Dyke, Mickey Rooney, Bill Cobbs. And adding a cartoon movie: ¨Night at the Museum: Kahmunrah Rises Again¨ (2022) by Matt Danner, Justin Lovell .

In spite of the absence of a number in the title, this is the third (and last?) film in a franchise that I have thoroughly enjoyed for providing inventive entertainment (imagine a fight sequence inside a MC Escher drawing). Each movie has been based in a museum I know well and this time we are in my home city of London at the wonderful British Museum which means that the Elgin Marbles and other artifacts come alive. At the heart of the franchise is Ben Stiller, a comic actor with deceptively understated style, and this time he gets to plays two very contrasting roles, particularly funny when his characters interact.

If there are weaknesses in this outing, they are that perhaps too many of the original characters are involved (meaning that screen time is spread rather thinly between them), there could have been more original museum characters (the main one is Dan Stevens as Sir Lancelot), and it would have been good to have more female roles (Australian Rebel Wilson as the BM security guard is effectively the only substantive one). And, of course, there is the sadness of seeing Robin Williams and Mickey Rooney in their last screen roles.

All that said, this is a worthy addition to a really fun franchise which has probably now run its course.

Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb is the third and final installment in the family comedy-adventure film franchise. Once again starring Ben Stiller as Larry Daley, the film follows Larry as he travels to London to save the magic that brings the museum exhibits to life. The film is known for its humor, heartwarming moments, and impressive visual effects.

One of the strengths of the film is its humor. The film features a mix of slapstick comedy, clever wordplay, and pop culture references that will keep viewers of all ages entertained. The humor is often absurd and over-the-top, but it never feels forced or out of place.

The film also features impressive visual effects, with the exhibits coming to life in even more spectacular ways than in the previous films. The attention to detail in bringing each exhibit to life is once again remarkable, adding to the overall entertainment value of the film.

But what sets Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb apart from the previous films is its emotional depth. The film explores themes of family, legacy, and letting go, making it more than just a silly adventure movie. The emotional payoff at the end of the film is satisfying and will leave viewers feeling uplifted.

The ensemble cast once again delivers great performances, with standout roles from Dan Stevens as Sir Lancelot and Rebel Wilson as Tilly. The characters are unique and memorable, adding to the overall entertainment value of the film.

Overall, Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb is a fitting conclusion to a fun franchise. Its humor, heartwarming moments, and impressive visual effects make it a standout in the world of family comedies. It's a great choice for families to watch together and a must-see for fans of the previous films.

-Secret of the Tomb is the third and final installment of the Night At The Museum series, and this time the tablet's power is running out and the gang must go to the British Natural History Museum to try to find answers and save the gang! -For a film with some flaws that I noticed, it was honestly pretty fun! And that's what really matters in this, because it's for families, not Oscars.

-The story is rushed and doesn't make much sense or hold much weight in the film honestly.

-The pace is not bad. It doesn't waste time, but it does drag once or twice.

-The acting is meh. I feel like Ben Stiller didn't try that hard, along with some of the supporting cast. A few others however, Robin Williams and Lancelot, are great! -The characters are cheesy, but they are not meant to be super deep, serious people. It's a fun film guys.

-The effects range from questionable-to-good, but not Oscar worthy.

-The music is good, but really a repeat of the first film.

-I will say what makes it good and fun is that it feels more like the first film! It is adventurous and sometimes tearjerking, but still fun throughout.

-It is rated PG, so yeah.

-So although it has some major cheese and doesn't let up on a pointless story, Night At The Museum 3 is still fun and surprisingly heartwarming. I don't know if it is worth running out to see, but it is definitely worth getting in a $5 bin! I would give it a good 7/10.
