Battle of the Smithsonian has plenty of life. But it's Adams who gives it zing.

A much better movie than its predecessor that brings all the great stuff from the first and adds even more! With an even better story than the last one, it's going to be hard to go back to the original after viewing this!

Without Azaria's comedic gifts, the movie would be close to unendurable.

Resembles an enthusiastic but undisciplined child running amok through an exhibit.

Bloated with visual effects, this sequel to the 2006 hit starts off slowly, reintroducing the original characters.

Feels like a re-hash.

The premise is already starting to feel a little stretched just one sequel in but Battle of the Smithsonian isn't completely without its charms.

No logra transmitir lo que si la primera peli, pero al menos tiene conceptos nuevos.

A really bland and silly sequel to its pretty enjoyable predecessor. Its filled to the brim with lame, dull jokes and a surprisingly boring plot.

Night at the Museum gets sleepy. The movie picks up nicely where the last let off. The new characters are surprisingly successful, and the story is okay. The movie then gets slothfully sloppy at the end at its struggles to piece together a resolution. Many very fixable plot holes erupt and the entire film nearly unravels.
