"Night at the Museum:Battle of the Smithsonian" is like the first movie, except the changed location. It's not a bad movie, it should have more surprises. Ben Stiller is back as the night watchman who in the first, he saw everything that came to life. Now he must go to Washington DC to save his old pals when a evil Egyptian king takes over the Smithsonian. I should have been very negative on that movie, but there are two reasons why I'm giving it a mild yes review. 1) Kids who will go to the movie will walk away learning something. Those who having trouble in history class will probaby see this movie to help them.2) the performance of Amy Adams is the best thing in the movie. I love her performance as Amelia Earhart. She is very sexy in that outfit. Those are the two reasons for giving it a mild recommendation. How about a third reason? Alan Silverstri's music score is in the sequel. Moviegoers will probaby like the movie more than I do.

I think it was better than the first.

I give this one a very SLIGHT "Good" rating. It's a fun movie but there were no surprises like the original. I chuckled a couple of times but my wife almost fell asleep. She was very disappointed. The Amelia Earhart character was fun though. If anything added to this movie, she did. I really think the producers could have done better and created more comical scenes.

Good sequel to the original. Good use of special computer effects.

This was a very nice family movie. #2 has some interesting twists, the movie could have been a litttle more creative but Ben Stiller did a good job in it, the supporting actress who -layed Amelia Airhart was great! The ending was excellent and made the movie.

If you liked Museum #1, you will like this one as well. Ben Still is his usual funny and entertaining self...great supporting cast as well. We enjoyed this movie, so I rated it good....but it's one that could wait for rental as well.

The movie is good but it is not as good as the first one. Sequence of events is almost predictable.
