Our second look at the Night At The Museum sequel.
Steven reckons it’s tosh, but decent tosh…
Thanks to a faster pace an assorted group of extended cameos,NATM2manages to improve slightly on its original.
And there is a fair amount of fun to be had.
Others have been given extended screen time since the first venture (Owen Wilson).
This time round they have managed to make room for a few new historical characters along the way.
The aforementioned Amy Adams as the first woman to cross the Atlantic on a plane seems game enough.
Hank Azaria probably gets most of the laughs as the lisping villain.
He manages to temper both laughs and even a few sinister moments that should work well on young audiences.
It is also perhaps most of his scenes where the dialogue is at its most clever.
It is also then done to confusing effect in other areas.
But then with so many things coming to life youd probably expect a bit of background chaos.
It seems they are trying to hey every audience member out there.
It may be trying to be the live actionToy Storyfranchise, but the writing just isnt there.
And Ben Stiller does what he does best.
He plays Ben Stiller…
