Larry Daley (Ben Stiller) is back in the 3rd installment of Night at the Museum, and a new shipment has arrived at the museum. The tablet wakes them up at night too, and they all find themselves in great danger. But greater danger is just ahead as the tablet is becoming corroded and losing it’s power. When it’s gone, all the magic will end. Larry convinces his boss Dr. McFee (Ricky Gervais), who doesn’t believe in the magic, to let him take the tablet to London to the museum where an Egyptian pharoah (Ben Kingsley) knows the secret of the tablet and how to repair and recharge it. But with some stowaways on the trip, they get into a gigantic battle to save themselves and the tablet.

This is a fitting finale to the trilogy. In the end, I don’t see a way for them to turn out another one of these. But as sequels go this was worthy of the franchise. If you like the first two, then this one definitely is not going to disappoint you. But it is definitely not as good as the first one, if that matters. It sort of felt like maybe Ben Stiller is getting tired of these films and ready to put it all behind him. It’s also sad to see Robin Williams again after the tragedy that happened to him. Basically all the characters are back, and the mischief they get into is similar to the other two. The wrap up in the end it touching, and the characters are just what you’d expect. I really cannot comment on their acting skills since they’re the same characters played by the same people, so they are what they already are. The story could maybe have been a bit better written, but it’s probably good enough for what it is. I really enjoyed the entertainment this little trip down memory lane provided, and though I chose to wait for the DVD, now that it’s out, it’s worth spending some time to watch, especially as I said, if you enjoyed the first two.
