He learns that the Tablet, which magically brings Teddy Roosevelt (Robin Williams), Jedediah (Owen Wilson) and the other exhibits to life at night, has started to decay. Larry, along with his son and museum friends, must travel to London's British Museum to learn how to prevent the Tablet's magic from disappearing.

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.

3/5

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.

2.5/5

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

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

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."

Night at the Museum (2006) This is such a fun and entertaining movie. Ben Stiller stars as Larry, a newly hired night guard at the American Museum of Natural History who discovers that the exhibits come to life after dark. Watching him navigate the chaos, learning to handle the magical antics, and forming friendships with the exhibits is hilarious and heartwarming. One of my favorite things about this movie is the cast of characters. I love the mischievous older guards who pick on Larry, the Pharaoh’s commanding presence, and of course, the amazing performance by Robin Williams. These characters make the museum feel alive and add so much charm and humor to the film. I also love how the movie balances comedy, adventure, and a touch of history, making it enjoyable for both kids and adults. For me, it’s a highly enjoyable and memorable movie that’s perfect for a lighthearted, fun movie night.

The part was very emotional for me that Larry leaves the museum and saying goodbye to his friends and it was a loving memory of Mickey Rooney and Robin Williams

Night at the museum 3 is a decent, though somewhat underwhelming, final installment in the franchise
