Une nuit au musée : Le secret du tombeau

Autant les deux premiers films de cette populaire série étaient amusants, imaginatifs, irrévérencieux et subtilement éducatifs, autant cet ultime épisode est fabriqué, paresseux et pauvre au plan comique.

Kids may like it, but the teens that grew up watching the first two probably would probably be better served by edgier fare.

Despite relocating across the pond to the esteemed British Museum, the creaky Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb fails to capitalize on the comic potential provided by that change of venue.

The characters and creatures are great, and Stiller makes the whole thing a lot of fun. Night at the Museum is a purely entertaining piece of family frivolity, and what's wrong with that? Take the kids, loosen up, and have a laugh. You'll love it. 

Tomb is filled with nifty visual gags, the best of which is a three-way duel (...). 

His final farewell here is gentle, reflectively and almost unbearably moving. It lends the the film a retroactive grace.

Either way, it's hard to get invested in the father-son dynamic here, even it when it represents a diversion from the limp comedy bits and the flatlined suspense.

It might only last for a minute, but no bad movie would ever think to include a minute that absurdly clever

The movie's scenario and incidental bits are largely as stale as any studio product gets; to go by this movie, there's no higher form of humor than the juxtaposition of old people doing new/modern things. 

Pour un film qui repose autant sur les effets spéciaux, Night at the Museum : Secret of the Tomb est gangrené par un spectaculaire manque d'imagination visuelle. (...) La prémisse de la trilogie semblait faite pour donner lieu à une imagerie foisonnante. On ne peut que déplorer cette occasion manquée.

N'y allez pas, ce sera plus sûr pour vous. Voici l'exemple parfait d'une suite qui brise l'esprit d'un film original qui vous a plu. Les statues prennent vie, certes. Mais la magie n'y est plus.
