Language is Crap
Kids shouldn't be so close to words like these. They aren't even close to what THIS freshman in high school hears, but still, 7 year old kids shouldn't be listening to this crap. But still a good movie.

A Fun, Mindless Sequel
This movie is good, but not as good as the first movie. They spend too much time in the art building of the Smithsonian rather then other buildings. The violence is mild, and ofthen played for comic effect. In one scene, Kahmunrah disappears into a cloud of sand and dust. A mild sexual innuendo from Amelia Earhart. Language is fairly mild. A big problem with this movie is that the plot gets juimbled by the film's attempts to show lots of the Smithsonian exhibits coming to life, and then there's a big plot hole towards the end, where the characters say that no one will know about the Battle of the Smithsonian when they really make a mess in the museum; at least the first movie didn't skip that. Overall, the plot isn't as good as the first film, but its brainless fun as all the exhibits come to life with humor. 3 out of five. The film is OK for any age, and 6 and up should be OK.

Sequels are mostly never as good as the origanal, but this one isn't too bad.
I'm so glad they had Amy Adams be Amelia Airheart (sorry I got the name wrong). This movie isn't as good as the first. Thier one scene that I didn't like where a evil pharo says "Oh God" angrily over and over and over again. The D word is said occassionaly, once by Amelia. You see butts from 3 different flying statues of Cupids. On the up-side, Sesame street and Star wars fans will love seeing Oscar the Grouch and Darth Vader in a little skit.

The Musuem Strikes Back!
Not as good as the first Night at the Museum. This movie is great for any age. A great film that gives a lot of brief history about each wax character. Like the Tuskegee Airmen, I particularlt interested in them as I learned in 8th grade.

G or PG-13?
People say that this movie should be PG-13 for the Language that is said. The worst cuss said in the movie was the "d" word. I actually think they won't kill you if you use the "d" word in a G movie, so therefore, the language isn't bad. The violence on the other hand is a bit harsh at the end. We see disturbing shots of the monkey getting pointed at with guns, spears and other weapons. We also see dead (knocked out) bodies on the ground during the final battle. It's a little harsh for a PG movie but can be accepted.

again, give the-inanimate-things-coming-to-life thing a rest, please?
not really a great film, but fine for most tweens. there is some action, but not enough. Lincoln smshes the roof of the Smithsonian, there are large scale fights between good and bad guys, and the cowboy is in peril for the films last half-hour or so.

A nice family film
Not as good as the first, but kids will find it funnier. It is worth a look.

So-so Movie - with action and little violence
Nothing like the original. Just boring and pointless. The plot is very dull and makes you want to stop watching. However, Ben Stiller does his acting pretty well - that saved the movie of not dropping to 1 star. Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian fails as a movie worth watching.

One Sexual Reference
We watched this during a school field trip bus ride for grade 6. Amelia Earheart says "You havent taken your cheeters (eyes) off my chest for a long time "

Not nearly as original or creative as the first, Battle of the Smithsonian is a slight dissappointment. Almost all of the jokes are the same ongoing ones from the first movie, but it still incorporated some new characters and jokes that made me laugh. It's an alright movie, but will be more entertaining for the kids than it will be for the adults.
