This is great movie! At first though, I thought that this would be a scary movie because of what I saw in previews, and I wasn't really interested in this movie. But later, after seeing it several times, I enjoyed it so much that I got a DVD of it. Now I can watch it whenever I want!

rating: good. It was a good movie. Funny, kind of action filled, exciting and ben stiller was the main character. Sometimes it seemed a little much and not that funny but it was still a good family comedy.

Silly, corny, campy, and somewhat entertaining for what it was worth, but instantly forgettable.

This movie has a great cast and a few terrific one-liners. And it is one of those movies that made me feel like a kid again.

I enjoyed this Ben Stiller-Owen Wilson movie. Ricky Gervais provided some added comic relief.

I enjoy that movie, maybe there are a lot of people disagree with me but if you want something different you would like this movie. A security guard try to found the true idea of his job, then him understand all the meaning of history and work. The script is fair average and the special effects are good really I enjoy it, maybe the can work harder in a better script but it's fine for me so I gave this movie a 3.5 sorry to the others that hate or are disagree with me.

  For all its dazzling computer-generated sequences, "Museum'' wouldn't be nearly the delight it is without the talents of some of the best comedians in the business.

  Drawn from a children's book by Croatian illustrator Milan Trenc, this fantasy isn't exactly heavy, but its ideological implications are interesting nevertheless.

  It's a fun ride, and the big payoff -- that history turns out to be way cooler than its reputation suggests -- is even more gratifying. Bully!

  Night at the Museum ends up being a pretty fun all-ages comedy -- if you can survive its first 20 minutes.

  The truly bizarre Ben Stiller farce, Night at the Museum, is no laugh riot, and misfires all over the screen, but it develops its own unique charm and leaves a pleasant afterglow. A family audience could do worse for a comedy this holiday season.

  After a slow start, this feel-good family film is a nice postcard from the Big Apple that may benefit New York and the Museum of Natural History as much as it does 20th Century Fox.

  The sad truth is that the film squanders almost all of its inspiration in the first 20 minutes or so.

  What a dull, nice movie, wrenched from a wild premise and battered into docility.

  The premise of Night at the Museum is definitely a bit more creative than the standard family films we are used to at this time of year, but the problem is that the film is marred with many gags that are outdated and therefore feel cheap.

  If the filmmakers had a script half as good as their special effects, Night at the Museum would be a must-see.

  Though the premise is clever -- everything comes to life at night in New York City's Natural History Museum -- this movie doesn't make the best comic use of the concept.

  This loud, overlong and thoroughly exhausting fantasy, based on Milan Trenc's slim children's book, purports to introduce youngsters to the wonders of New York City's American Museum of Natural History, but in fact aims squarely at hyperactive kids who can't sit still or stand a moment's silence.
