My take on the Summer Blockbusters

Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian
Director: Shawn Levy
Theatre visits: 1
What’s it about: The museum night watchman starts a new company and moves on with the good money. But the news of his friends being packed off to the Smithsonian Museum makes him put on the watchman’s uniform again to bring them back to where they belong. To make that job a ride through hell, an ancient Egyptian ruler resurrects (courtesy: the magical slab) with plans to take over the world. Watchman puts together a team of new friends from the Smithsonian Museum to spoil the party and to save us all from doom.
Whistles: Bigger with the Smithsonian Museum as its backdrop, the funny men brigade, the laughs, bubbly Amy Adams.
Boos: Gets a bit boring after a while. Stiller looks tired of the role.
Verdict: A clean family entertainer. Got the laughs and the gags. Kids will love it.
Sequel suggestions: Ask Stiller whether he is interested; let’s not have the story revolving around that magical life-giving gold slab and try not to make it look like a reworked script of the first and second movies.
