Must not be much interest in this movie since the last post about it was a year and a half ago.
I'm going to see it today with my free movie money from the X-Men trilogy.

The first one was pretty good. This was total shit. Azaria was the best part of the movie. Everyone else was horrible. Ricky Gervais had one or two lines. Most of the jokes fell flat with me. The CG was decent but it just felt like they were moving from one effect shot to the next for no reason.

First movie was okay but I doubt I'll bother going to this in theaters. Rental at best for me.

It cost me $2 dollars so not total lost but Amy Adams (I am a redhead) was HOT and she was the best part of film period!

I actually thought this movie was pretty decent, some laughs here and there. Much better than the first film, way more fun - but still felt about 15 minutes too long. Fine but nothing special.

Re: Night at the Museum 2 - ANNOUNCED!
I agree. Will Ferrell is awful, but that has nothing to do with this thread.
NatM 2 wasn't bad. I enjoyed the first one well enough and as long as Garant and Lennon are writing these, I'll keep seeing them. Maybe I'm just a sucker for "The State" but I actually find these movies funny.

How wide is the sphere of influence of that tablet?
That was my only beef with this film.
... oh, and was this filmed next door to the set of The Office?
I give this movie a solid C.

Re: Night at the Museum 2 - ANNOUNCED!
I noticed that too. Mindy Kaling, Ed Helms, and Craig Robinson all have cameos, and of course Amy Adams (who was a recurring guest early on) is the co-star.
I caught a showing tonight. Adams is extremely cute and lovable as Amelia Earhart and is the film's best asset, and Azaria isn't too bad as the villain (and in a nod to his Simpsons talents, he also has 2 vocal roles). The film overall is fairly forgettable, but does have some great effects. It just feels oddly stuffy considering they have the entire National Mall to play with, yet only seem to be in 3-4 large sets all the time.

^ those sets being in Vancouver
and it's odd that the National Portrait Gallery in the movie is a Smithsonian museum, when actuality it isn't.

I thought it was entertaining enough. +1 on the Adams hotness.

Re: Night at the Museum 2 - ANNOUNCED!
I finally wrote up my review yesterday:

As before, Adams is great, with Azaria not too bad either. Entertaining enough for adults not to be bored if they take the kiddies.

I enjoyed the first Night and even watch it when FX HD airs it. I used my Fox movie cash to see the second Night and it was okay.
There are some great moments in the movie but not nearly as much as the the first film. There were also plenty of plotholes and unexplained continuity errors between the two films.
I'll just make one giant spoiler since its easier. Be warned....

Re: Night at the Museum 2 - ANNOUNCED!
I went into it having never seen the original(with no real desire to), and ended up pleasantly surprised. I thought it was an enjoyable movie with lots of great cameos.
And need I mention how gorgeous and perfectly cast Amy Adams was?
Overall, I'm glad I caught it at a matinee price.
