Fact: franchises eventually run out of steam after the first couple of movies. Proof: Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb. This is the third instalment in a brand that is already quite tiresome, but it does have a few positives going for it. It is the swansong of actors Robin Williams and Mickey Rooney, for one. And that should be enough for you to want to catch a glimpse. Also, Ben Stiller has declared that this is his final Museum movie, and while that is a relief, it is still somewhat sad - one can get used to him as the obnoxious security guard at a museum.
Which is what he still is in this movie, but with a few more responsibilities. Before we get to him, however, let us go back to 1938, when a group of archaeologists discover the gold tablet of Ahkmenrah, in Egypt. Despite warnings that the removal of this tablet from its resting place will bring about the end of the world, the archaeologists insist on possessing it for themselves. Now, in the Museum of Natural History in New York, Larry (Ben Stiller) and Dr.
McPhee (Ricky Gervais) are overseeing the nightly activities of the usual gang of characters that come alive at night. Larry has almost forgotten that Ahkmenrah (Rami Malek) had warned him, not too long ago, that the golden tablet is decaying, and that this may bring about unwanted changes. Unfortunately, tonight, the tablet is completely decayed, and has infected some of the other exhibits. Those untouched by the decay choose to flee, and Larry decides to get to the bottom of the mystery. It turns out that the answer lies in the British Museum of Natural History, which is where Ahkmenrah's parents are kept.
The chaos caused by the tablet costs McPhee his job, but he manages to use his contacts to get Larry an appointment with the British Museum. Larry goes there with the tablet, only to discover that some of his museum exhibits have accompanied him, too. After more chaos, Larry finds Merenkahre (Ben Kingsley) and Shepseheret (Anjali Jay), who tell him how the tablet can be handled. Before that, however, there is much that needs to be sorted out, after much confusion and pandemonium. The biggest problem with the movie is that there is nothing new to hold your interest. Everything that seems like a deliberate insertion of a character, plot point or complication, probably is (deliberate, that is), and, worse, you HAVE seen it before.
The narrative has too many plot points to concentrate on the larger story, although you cannot forget that it is about the pandemonium-creating tablet that has to be fixed, somehow. The abundance of characters is mindboggling, too. If you have not seen the earlier movies, it can get confusing. Also, there are some unnecessary saccharine-sweet emotional plot points that seem manipulated to encourage tears, and you may just carried away by the whole emotional angle - whether it is about the parents who made a tablet for their baby, the father whose son cannot decide on a more serious career or the knight who is tragically in love with an idea of a person. What is comforting is the world that the movie is set in. It is familiar, and suitably fantastical, yet acceptable, given the location of most of the action. To add to this is the fact that Teddy, Jedediah, Octavius and others are very much a part of the main action.
The writer cleverly introduces the latest technology to the characters of the museum, especially YouTube, and they find more than enough opportunities to incorporate their knowledge in their practical lives. Everybody in the movie looks like they are having a blast. The humour is predictable - never a good sign for a comedy.
The dialogues are particularly unfunny, and although the lines are delivered with much sincerity, the film lacks the panache and even the intrigue of the first installment. The story may have shifted to the other side of the Atlantic, but the lacklustre script does not take advantage of the change of continents. Instead, it gives us an in a museum. Ben Stiller does not look too fresh. He is the driving force, but lacks his usual zest for a role.
Ricky Gervais is too self-involved to notice the others, and he does a pretty decent job of his character. Owen Wilson is still dazed.
The new entry, Dan Stevens, who plays Lancelot, is convincingly innocent and charming. Ben Kingsley and Rebel Wilson are apt casting. It is somewhat disconcerting that this is the last movie that Robin Williams, and Mickey Rooney, worked in, and it does bring a lump to your throat. The production design is pretty much the same as the previous movies, except that it shifts from one museum interior to another.
The attention paid to detail, as with the previous movies, is commendable. The production design and the costume are what make the world of these characters believable. The visual effects department, however, turns out to be pretty dull in this film.
The visuals are painstakingly simple, and not at all exciting. The camera work, too, is pretty staid. The music is average, too, but the editing is crisp enough to make you not regret the length of the film.
Night At The Museum: Secret Of The Tomb is not a memorable movie, unless you remember that it is also Robin Williams' and Mickey Rooney's last film. It is a movie for children, too, and they may enjoy all those mindless chases and falls, but we suggest you either pick up the first installment of the franchise, or wait for the DVD.
Since the first in 2006, divorced dad Larry Daly's discovered the nocturnal secrets of New York's Natural History Museum, saved his buddies from the ignominy of storage and briefly romanced pioneering aviator Amelia Earhart, while 20th Century Fox have earned close to a billion dollars. A third film was, of course, an inevitability but fortunately this conclusive entry in the franchise has been rendered with skills, smarts and no small amount of heart. With a young audience in its sights, Secret of the Tomb keeps it simple with the plot and even the tiniest viewers will be able to follow this colourful, globe-trotting race against time as Larry and friends try to save the magic that brings the museum to life. Sure, there's some business about Larry's teenage son and his dreams of DJ-ing in Ibiza, but all we're really looking for here is some entertaining, mildly educational family fare.
Which this trilogy-closer delivers in spades. After the 1938 discovery of a hidden tomb in Egypt, we're back in the present day as Jedediah (Wilson) and Octavius (Coogan) discovered cat videos while the living exhibits perform for Manhattan glitterati at a gala event and Ricky Gervais does that high-pitched thing as museum director Dr McPhee. But the end could be nigh for the cowboy, centurion, monkey, etc, as the magic of the Tablet of Ahkmenrah begins to fade.
Only a trip to London - where we'll meet Rebel Wilson trying her best British accent - and the British Museum can rescue the gang from returning to wax. Obviously, Larry can't go alone so Dexter the Monkey, Octavius, Jedediah, Attila the Hun, Sacagawea, Teddy Roosevelt, Ahkmenrah and Larry-lookalike caveman Laa cross the Atlantic with him. But it's not the returning heroes that make Night of the Museum such an enjoyable family flick but new cast member Dan Stevens. As Lancelot (who was likely fictional and probably not actually resident in the British Museum.) he initially appears to have been cast as a piece of eye candy for the mums.
But, like Amy Adams' Amelia Earhart in second film Battle of the Smithsonian, he's actually the film's trump card. Stevens' charisma and comic timing gives a potentially tired premise some much-needed oomph and it's not hard to see why the former Downton Abbey star is beginning to make waves in Hollywood. Jedediah and Octavius are a great double-act thanks to the improvisational skills of Wilson and Coogan while there won't be a dry eye in the house as Mickey Rooney and Robin Williams make their final onscreen appearances. It's a little disappointing that we only see a tourist's London (British Museum, Trafalgar Square, the London Palladium) and British viewers can feel a little short-changed that Lancelot is the only character from these shores brought to life. But you'll be too busy being wowed by the splendid special effects (an MC Escher set-piece and the British Museum 'waking' particularly catch the eye) and amused by the boisterous derring do of the script to quibble about the little things. A cracking A-list cameo injects some big laughs into the final act and you might catch a lump in your throat as we bid farewell to these beloved characters. A crowd-pleasing, satisfying and often spectacular adventure, Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb closes the door's on the franchise with fun and warmth for all the family.
