OK, this is fun time for sure, but has some problems along the way made it less fun than the first one. The imaginative spirit is higher (the moving paintings.. Just WaW !), though the drama must get on your nerve a bit. For instance, while Stiller's character is leading a great career, having a company of his own, with his inventions popular than ever, suddenly he leaves all of that for the pals at the museum ! as what he already lives is boring ?? Actually this movie didn't convince me, or anyone, with this story (why he didn't appear as someone living a hell of bad routine life, not having much time with his son, .. anything like this !??). Secondly, while the movie succeeds at making the first and the third acts well, it loses at the second, really stray, act. Thirdly, still there is a fault from the first movie; the broken logic of the movie's fantasy. I mean why the insistence to expose the fact that these are just statues ? because this will lead directly you to think how all of these "statues" know all of the history of their characters ?? Fourthly, the most terrible element in the movie; the dialog… this is not only comic but also too silly. Some of the conversations were LAME, DO LAME (Napoleon Bonaparte wants to know the fact of Stiller's relationship with Adams, Kahmunrah and the boring Abbott and Costello sketch, Stiller and the new security guard scene.. ). Finally, the end of the movie makes slightly no sense, why to bring 4 statues back to the original museum ?? what was the point of that ?! On the other hand, Alan Silvestri's music was fabulous. Amy Adams was so hot, yet with a ghost of a role ! and despite the bad material Hank Azaria was creative as usual (being Kahmunrah, The Thinker, and yes.. Abe Lincoln too) well he's coming from The Simpsons guys. As a whole, this movie got the feel of some Disney flicks, that's rare nowadays. It got one pure moment of cinematic genius and I mean the scene in which Stiller jumps into the photo of the end of the second war 2. This is one important moment in the history of fantasy indeed. The thing is that movie didn't have more of it, while it was having the ability in the same time. It's cool movie, with 5 problems ! But still cool. However not coherent as the first.
