7/10
Lacks the spark of the first, but a nice way to bring it home
21 August 2022
Filled with antics, slapstick, and a simple enough plot for a family film, Night at the Museum 3 closes out a trilogy that marks the childhoods of many people. Spanning 8 years, this franchise emotionally concluded at the very end of Robin Williams' life; a fact impossible to ignore when watching the film. His lines seem to hold more reverence and importance knowing the reality surrounding the movie.

It's not as purely funny as the first movie, which is unique in premise and comedic as you see everything for the first time. But the third installment, some of the magic has worn off. Pun intended.

While not a perfect film, it's still a fun watch at just over 90 minutes. It's nostalgic, cute, and of course, the final words of Teddy Roosevelt really hit home.
