Critics Consensus

While not without its moments, Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb is a less-than-inspired sendoff for the trilogy.

The most poignant moment is the farewell to Roosevelt, played one final time by Robin Williams. Otherwise, Night At The Museum: Secret Of The Tomb is an instance of an idea stretched far beyond its potential.

Independent (UK)

The appearances of Robin Williams and Mickey Rooney (who have both since died) adds extra poignance to a film that pretty much follows the contours of its predecessors.

Rated: 3/5

Philippa Hawker

The Age (Australia)

Larry and his crew head for London and more slightly laboured mayhem, with slapstick gags that seem designed for younger viewers.

Rated: 2.5/5

At least, for now, the museum seems to have closed its doors.

Rated: 1/4

Much like the first two movies, this Night at the Museum is good for some laughs and is fun for the whole family.

It feels old hat and despite the nostalgic rush of seeing the late Mickey Rooney and Robin Williams on the big screen, it's less exciting to see Sir Ben Kingsley as Ahkmenrah's father delivering bad double entendres like, "I am a pharaoh. Kiss my staff."

Rated: 1.5/5

A downgrade from the first and second, but not entirely bad either. It seems to be a unnecessary addition to a storyline that already was over.

watching now because it's the only movie on i haven't seen-even with showtime-hbo and starz and i really like the actor who plays lancelot, Dan Stevens-good actor and hilarious but i'm getting tired of Owen Wilson who just plays himself in every movie

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

The third and final instalment attempts to deliver another dose of fun and heartwarming adventure, but while it offers enjoyable laughs and heartfelt moments, the film also feels somewhat formulaic, resulting in a mixed installment that should still entertain young children.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars

The third entry is a worthy one, and a step-up from the 2nd film. This time, Larry does London! We also get back the original trio of old guys which is freaking awesome. Mostly all characters return, including Jed and Octavius. Ben Stiller as a funny caveman is here, too. There's a Rexy-like Dino in this other museum that everyone gets chased by. Robin Williams plays one of his final roles with dignity and efficiency. Gervais is as funny as ever. The only real change is Larry's son who is played by a new actor. A better one, too. These movies are so fun and cool, no matter how silly things might get. They're so charming. It helps that I love history, so maybe I'm being biased. Secret of the Tomb is another success in the series, no doubt.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars
