Movie Review: Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian

If you liked the first "Night at the Museum" movie you'll like this one.

Ben Stiller managed to move on from his job at the museum when his business took off. One evening he goes back to visit and finds most of the artifacts getting packed up and sent into storage under the Smithsonian museums. According to the movie, all the museums are connected by several layers of interconnected tunnels. Much of the footage is in the actual Smithsonian museums but there's a lot done in made up sections.

Not long after that Ben gets a call from one of the Pewter figures saying they're under attack. So, naturally, he has to save them. An ancient Egyptian almost-Pharaoh wants the tablet that animates everyone so he can raise his army of supernatural beings and take over the world.

Action is spread around several of the museums and see figures that have joined the action from museums that they don't visit.

I liked the movie, but I won't get it on DVD. Mind you, I didn't get the first one on DVD either.
