Critics Consensus

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

Udita Jhunjhunwala Livemint 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. Aug 5, 2019 Full Review Geoffrey Macnab 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 Jan 9, 2015 Full Review 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 Jan 9, 2015 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review At least, for now, the museum seems to have closed its doors. Rated: 1/4 Jul 13, 2022 Full Review Cory Woodroof Williamson Home Page Much like the first two movies, this Night at the Museum is good for some laughs and is fun for the whole family. Feb 11, 2022 Full Review Richard Crouse Richard Crouse 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 Feb 2, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member I LOVE THIS MOVIE A LOT! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/29/24 Full Review Michael B An absolute mess of multiple plot lines all merged into one with sloppy acting and beyond stupid plot. Return of previous actors not even worth it, unnecessary scenes and characters. Not-sad-at-all-and-anticlimactic ending. Only sad is the last performance of teddy Roosevelt. Overall awful movie. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 10/06/24 Full Review Oaklee D A run of the mill adventure flick that if nothing else will make the kids happy. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 10/01/24 Full Review Santi M 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. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 07/19/24 Full Review Idan Charles L Not any better than the first two, But it's also not any worst 👍 Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/27/24 Full Review BRENDEN J Night at the Museum Secret of the tomb was fun family film.
