Night at the Museum - The Queen - 12-31-2006
Well sure, we could have gone to see Apocolypto or The Good Shepherd or something a bit more weighty and/or perhaps artistically or socially meaningful but dang it, it's the holidays, and I don't want something that's good for me, I want junk food!
Night at the Museum was like a meal of Slim Jims, salted peanuts and a Twinkie for dessert. Of *course* it's silly and predictable and exactly what you thought it was based on the trailer but for the most part, it was entertaining silly and predictable. Ben Stillter scared me a little because I could always see the whites of his eyes, the dialog they gave Mickey Rooney was pretty stupid (and I wonder if he was making it up as he went along) and I think the role they gave Paul Rudd was a total waste of his talent and time, but I think Ricky Gervais's character's inability to finish a sentence was brilliant, and I really enjoyed watching the museum stuff be alive, especially the jade dog and the Romans fighting the cowboys.
this movie was awful - Drunk Monk - 12-12-2007
What a shameful waste of talent. It was just so preposterous, although I did like the jade dog too. T liked the Easter Island head.
so awful we had to see part 2 - Drunk Monk - 05-25-2009
But I'm reviewing that on NatM thread 2...

Or something like that. It was supposed to be funny, right?
Not so much. It did have some great CGI, the mylar balloon animal being the best. Mostly it was Hank Azaria lisping and the Jonas Brothers singing and Amy Adams using slang from the 20's. It was too forced and there wasn't enough funny, although I think I did laugh out loud twice. If it was funny in the first movie they made sure to beat it to death in the second movie. (He's called Gigantor because he is big in comparison)
I should know better. I should.

You think I jump on these grenades for you for fun? Nope. I do it for you.
