The sequel looks to be even bigger than the first, and somehow – believe it or not – even better. Seriously. Says Stiller: “I liked this script — it’s better than the first film.” How is it even possible to top the heights reached in the first one? I’m getting a nosebleed simply imagining the rarified air that must be atop the mountain peak of art that is Night at the Museum 2: Battle of the Smithsonian script. Or else Stiller’s saying he didn’t like the first one that much.
The movie, like the original, does have a good cast, Quoth USA Today: [R]eturning: Robin Williams, Dick Van Dyke, Owen Wilson and Ricky
Gervais. Newcomers include Christopher Guest, Hank Azaria, Eugene Levy,
Saturday Night Live‘s Bill Hader and Enchanted‘s Amy Adams, who plays famed aviator Amelia Earhart, [Stiller’s] romantic foil.
Director Shawn Levy threatens a possible third film if your kids make this one a hit as well.

That's it… I'm done. Looks like it's suicide again for me!
If they made a Night at the Muesem film that followed the plotline of The Relic, then maybe I'd watch it.
Lets see how Robin Williams and Owen Wilson handle the Kothoga..
Why bother writing a sarcastic throw away article if obviously neither you or your readers care about it? I know, I know. You're just keepin' that piss poor CHUD spirit alive. So, yeah, get a hair cut you blazer wearing, self-righteous, hypocritical nerd.
Why do people bitch about the quality of a kid's film? I've never really understood how people can get up in arms about a movie that's not even targeting them as an audience. No one is telling you to see this movie.
It's because it's not a film that is directly being marketed to fanboy dweebs. That's why they hate it. They need and crave constant attention from the entertainment industry because no one in the real world will having anything to do with them so when a movie ignores them they fly into a sarcastic, dorito stained rage.
"CHUD pal Bill Hader" Devin, jesus christ…the vast ammount of ego needed to write that made me laugh.
Faraci, you really are the biggest fucking tool on the internet.
Well, it sounds like he's just saying he thinks it's a better script, right? I don't think I can read in between any lines where I could conclude he hated the first one. He shouldn't. I saw it on HBO a few weeks ago. It is what it is. It was entertaining. I probably would have watched it many times when I was a kid. Though I also watched Howard the Duck many times. But I knew that sucked.
My kids own the first one, it's really not a bad kid's flick at all. And honestly, if you knew nothing about it other than the concept of museum exhibits coming alive at night you'd agree that it's a perfect idea for a kid's movie. It really doesn't deserve the ire it receives for no other reason than being a movie aimed at children not made by Pixar.
I'd like to force-feed puree'd dick to whoever greenlit this.
The first one is a fun family/kids film, better than most G/PG rated shit that gets made. Why the hate?
And I liked the plot of the old security guards being evil – a welcome change from the standard "evil business man" as bad guy formula.
Fuck you, Faraci. I didn't really like the first one, either, but you're so goddamn high and mighty. It's a kids' movie. Who cares that you don't like Levy and his filmmaking. Goddamn I;m so tired of this elitist bullshit.
I thought that was David Spade…
