The Story:
The Tablet that brings the exhibits to life at the Museum of Natural History is beginning to corrode. If Larry (Stiller) hopes to fix the problem, he needs to get the tablet and some of his exhibits to London to see if they can unravel the secret of how the tablet works before it is too late.
Eight years ago, Night at the Museum arrived, and it was pretty cute, good family fun with a nice supporting cast making the exhibits.
Five years ago, they brought forth a sequel, and aside from remember seeing it, it was rather boring and lackluster.
Needless to say, I was surprised that they made a third installment in the franchise, but after seeing it, I'm glad they did.
It brought back much of the fun and enjoyment from the first one, and allowed the movie to correct the mistakes of the second film, and let the franchise go out on a high note.
I'm assuming it will be the end of the franchise as everyone is older now, and with Robin Williams passing, they are missing a key part of the team.
Traveling to London allows them to introduce a whole new cast of characters and creates a villainous foil in Sir Lancelot (Stevens) who may just unwittingly cause all of the exhibits to cease living after shortly coming to life for the first time.
If you liked the previous installment(s), I think you'll find the conclusion to their story a fitting end to the adventures.
Final Grade: C+/B-
