As a former museum guard in the city of New York, this thing is terrible. I stopped watching after 5 minutes. I had my doubts, so I’ve never seen so far (several years after its release), but this turkey is so terrible that I can not recommend it to anyone except very young children who love dinosaurs. The worst. Rating: 1 / 5

Warning: This review may contain spoilers > > since the beginning. I wondered how ordinary security guard Ben Stiller Schlub could easily become an infomercial king, Hawking glow in the dark flashlights GoBS and earn money. Then I realized that the writers could not just start it as a security guard at the museum again because people do not want the same thing twice when they pay money for a sequel. However, the angle infomercial ended up being dropped like a hot potato and Stiller is back in the museum as the original. This time, he learns that his buddies at the Museum of Natural History are shipped in the archives of the basement at the Smithsonian. To make matters worse, they face a guy crazy Pharaoh who needs to find a secret code that will open the door to ancient Egypt, where all its minions evil just waiting to break loose and cause havoc on a world without méfiance.Il are moments in “Battle for the Smithsonian,” that feel like the script has been suspended, the action was entirely improvised. Take the scene with Stiller tries to break into the basement at the Smithsonian, opposed by the security guard played by Jonah Hill. The joke is that the security guard is a wuss and was easily deterred by the more convincing Stiller. And therein lies the problem for each character in the film. They are all fools, one way or another and have no weight moral.L ‘antagonist is played by Hank Azaria, who first noted as a pharaoh lisping, Kahmunrah. He is joined by three villains of history: Napoleon Bonaparte, Ivan the Terrible and a young Al Capone. The three allies of Egypt have virtually nothing to see in the film – Bonaparte at one point jumping over Stiller, waves a gun and Capone Ivan scowls fondamentalement.Alliés Stiller fare no better. Owen Wilson plays a miniature cowboy trapped inside an hourglass by Kahmunrah. We’re supposed to laugh as he is gradually overwhelmed by sand in an hourglass flowing on top of him. Steve Coogan Is Buddy Wilson, playing another “miniature”, this time, the famous Roman emperor Octavian ` ‘. Grand Emperor of the time is when he is mistaken for a squirrel and a giant creature walks back into the Smithsonian think he can take over the army of evil Kahmunrah. No laughs there! Bill Hader plays General Custer with an inferiority complex: he deplored the fact that he will always be remembered for his one bad moment at Little Big Horn with all his other accomplishments ignored. While Custer was a complete clown, the Indian Princess Sacajawea not berates him for his hatred of Native Americans, but rather for his incompetence as soldat.Il takes a long time before interest love Stiller, an icon of feminism Amelia Earhardt, played by Amy Adams, doing what she does best: i. e. fly an airplane. But mostly, it’s nothing more than the weak love interest in the film – Chasing around Stiller, playing a bit Spunky and provide moral support. Other parts are wasted Robin Williams as Teddy Roosevelt (in two incarnations as Teddy on horseback and bust as speaking), an Attila the Hun totally forgettable and a bunch of grunts Néandertaliens.L ‘plot is pretty disappointing. After Kahmunrah code is “secret” of Albert Einstein Bobblehead and releases the forces of evil, they all operate inexpicably Return to portal after a giant Abraham Lincoln (from his sleep in the Lincoln Memorial), confronts them. Lincoln is reduced to a giant awkward, more like Lurch from the old Adams Family TV series that the great statesman of American history. “Battle” was written primarily for the department of special effects to their exploits. There is a nifty little visual effects at famous paintings come to life (most notably when Stiller and jump Adams in the famous scene of Valentine with the sailor and the nurse to stay in Times Square). Rodan’s “Thinker” comes to life as a wise-talking Guido and there are three statues angel singing updated versions of rap r & b classics. All this is pleasant to watch but it’s just not very drôle.Je never been a big fan of Ben Stiller but here it excels in a role that relies mainly on slapstick humor. There is nothing clever or spiritual Battle for the Smithsonian. It is a race to the lowest in the American comedy. And the producers here, should reflect the old warning – What Goes Around, Comes Around! Hopefully Kahmunrah will curse them again in the future – at the box office, where it hurts! Rating: 1 / 5

The original was ok, kinda nice. This is too similar or suffering from a suite-sucko-noma. Can not really even give it 2 stars. Just 1 then. Avoid unless you are a child or just take the kids to a movie on Sat Nite Rating: 1 / 5
