Night at the Museum 2 is plugging an odd gap for family entertainment in the early summer film schedule.Outside the excellent-but-weird Coraline(still on release)and not forgetting The Jonas Brothers 3D Concert Experience(out next week – my eyes already hurt)there’s no major release targeted at children until Ice Age 3 opens on July 1.This puts a reviewer in a bind.I can only recommend Ben Stiller’s comedy sequel in the way I might a burnt sausage when there’s nothing else to eat: it’s not terribly appetising, but it’ll have to do.After all, the notion of waxwork exhibits coming to life and waging war on each other isn’t such a bad recipe for undemanding, sugar-rush escapism, and there’s certainly enough boisterous action to keep the kids happy.Also in the plus column, we get some frisky business with a puce-coloured Leviathan squid(surprisingly friendly, when you get to know it)and a pair of Capuchin monkeys who trade subtitled insults and enjoy happy-slapping Stiller.No problems there.The movie is only a let-down when you compare its nimbler predecessor – hardly an immortal classic, but an unpretentious romp which made much better use of Stiller’s seething incredulity.In case you’ve forgotten, he played Larry Daley, a newly-recruited security guard at New York’s Museum of Natural History.Late at night, everything came to life, and watching this furious, disappointed man get chased by a re-animated T-Rex skeleton was giddy fun, not just thanks to the state-of-the-art computer effects.It’s somehow less fun, during this film’s needlessly elaborate set-up, watching Larry pine for his previous job(he’s now a super-successful entrepreneur)and follow his waxy old friends to the Smithsonian Institution, where they are to be stashed in an underground vault and may never see the light of day again.Robin Williams’s sad-faced Teddy Roosevelt explains the situation: without the crucial Egyptian tablet that gives them life, it’s curtains.Down in the basement, a lisping Pharaoh(Hank Azaria)has his own claim on this impressively tacky gold-embossed artifact and announces a routine evil takeover.His batty accent – one of the film’s more striking bits of eccentricity – is pitched somewhere between Quentin Crisp goes bananas and a Spanish gigolo doing a Jeremy Irons impression.Via a contretemps with a jobsworth security guard, played in the film’s one genuinely hilarious cameo by Superbad’s Jonah Hill, Larry must come to the rescue, which means ducking and diving beneath every effect and costumed baddie at director Shawn Levy’s disposal.There’s time for an engaging, comparatively highbrow sequence in a chamber of living paintings and sculptures, which has Jeff Koon’s red balloon dog prancing about, a writhing Pollock, and a Roy Lichtenstein winking at us.The idea isn’t that original – I last remember seeing it in Joe Dante’s Looney Tunes: Back in Action– but it pays off with a full-scale trip inside Robert Doisneau’s most famous photograph.We get a neat black-and-white recreation of Paris boulevard life in 1950, with those eternal kissers briefly pulled apart by Stiller and pals: a nice touch.Still, as this hectic, mechanical, more-is-less enterprise wore on, I began to feel very sorry for Owen Wilson, reprising his role as a thimble-sized Lilliputian cowboy called Jedediah.He spends the first half of the movie trapped in a storage crate, and the second half stuck in the bottom of a gradually filling hourglass enduring Azaria’s taunts.He has absolutely no chance to act or react amusingly, and neither, really, does Stiller, dutifully tethered to the chaos this time when he was better off being randomly terrorised by minuscule Indians.As for Amy Adams, joining the gang as feisty Transatlantic pilot Amelia Earhart, she remains a welcome presence in any film, and looks absolutely smashing in her tight trousers, so it’s a pity the screenwriters make her comic gifts, too, count for so little.Having to deliver the word 'ace' at the end of every line was never going to make this her most inspired gig, but then she, Stiller, Wilson, and anyone who wants a glimmer of actual style from their family entertainment, deserve quite a lot better than this.2 What’s there to say about the sequel to the first Night at the Museum? It’s a bit of fluff, something to take the kids to where you might be mildly entertained without having to worry about anything offensive where your kids are involved.The story picks up a few years after the first film, with Larry Daley(Ben Stiller)now a successful businessman.He has a knack for infomercial-type inventions and is doing very well – financially anyway.He still visits the museum from time to time to visit with his night-animated buddies, but not as often as he used to.It turns out that most of the museum pieces are being replaced by newfangled holographic projection versions, with the current ones being shipped off to storage at the Smithsonian, to be crated forever.He attempts to intervene but it’s a case of too little, too late – but of course the day is not lost.One thing leads to another and Egyptian prince Kahmunrah(Hank Azaria)is awakened with thoughts of world domination on his mind.In the process we once again meet Robin Williams as Teddy Roosevelt, Owen Wilson as Jebediah Smith the pint sized cowboy, along with new characters General Custer(played well by Bill Hader)and Amelia Earhart(played by the forever cute and perky Amy Adams).This film seemed to be more about the performances than the actual story, and there was an interesting conglomeration of characters here.The oddest of the bunch had to be Hank Azaria as the Egyptian prince… he was quite the odd combination here – being just a bit older than him and with the fact he’s always been known as a comedic character actor, I was struck by how he buffed out for the role.What made it weirder was the fact that for some reason the voice they chose for his character was a bad Boris Karloff impersonation with a lisp thrown in for good measure.Beyond that Amy Adams was perky to the point of annoyance(for me, anyway)but the old style skin-tight pants she wore kind of made up for that(what can I say?).I enjoyed Bill Hader’s performance as Custer and brief cameos by Ricky Gervais and Jonah Hill were both quite funny.However as usual(for me)Ben Stiller just seemed… odd.He has a flavor of humor that while I don’t hate it, I just don’t get it and it doesn’t work for me.Thankfully it’s a fairly short film, clocking in well under two hours.It’s not awful, but nowhere near great – kind of take it or leave it film.But if you’re a parent with some little ones and you’re hungry for movies to take the family to without worrying about anything offensive, it’s a good one to go see.For anyone else, you’ll need to be a Ben Stiller fan – otherwise it’s a definite rental.I must admit, the idea behind Night at the Museum is very clever.At night at the natural history museum in New York the exhibits come to life and wreak havoc thanks to a mummy's curse.It's up to the new night security guard Larry(Ben Stiller)to keep the chaos from spilling out into the streets of New York and keep the exhibits from perishing in the light of day.Larry is left this task after three longtime night guards, played by legends Dick Van Dyke, Mickey Rooney and Bill Cobbs, are let go.Let's just say they are a little bitter about being let go.They are kind enough to leave Larry an instruction manual but when Larry gets cocky, thinking he knows how to handle this situation, things go from weird to worse.Larry would not have taken this job but his ex-wife Erica(Kim Raver)threatened to take away his son Nick(Jake Cherry)if he didn't find a steady job and place to live.No points for guessing that Nick will get in on the museum madness.You also get no points that the pretty museum tour guide, played by Spy Kids star Carla Gugino, will become Larry's love interest.The best part of Night at the Museum is Robin Williams as President Teddy Roosevelt.Coming to life nightly to ride his horse throughout the museum, Williams' Mr.President is the most helpful of the museum exhibits and of course when it comes to delivering the moral of the story who better than a former President.Of course, Williams can't help but ham it up a little, but you expect that from Robin Williams.Ben Stilller seems at a loss to keep up with the goofy CGI madness of Night at the Museum.Rushed through the exposition, his character is essnetially a deadbeat who nearly loses his kid because he's so lazy.Not exactly a winning character.Once inside the museum, Stiller's Larry vacillates from coward to cocky but mostly just runs around confused and angry.Director Shawn Levy and writers Garant and Lennon hit all of the typical family movie beats, a lesson learned, bathroom humor and a monkey.They also toss in a couple action movie cliches for good measure including a chase scene involving an ancient stage coach and a miniature SUV.Trust me, my description reads far more interesting than the actual scene.2 This whole movie is one giant leap into the magical realm of suspended reality that Hollywood is so good at creating.Can museums really come to life? No---but man, it be cool if they did.Keep your eye out for my favorite(and in my opinion, the funniest)scene from the film in which Larry finally confronts Attila the Hun, who makes a habit of chasing him down and attempting to dismember him each night.Larry squares off against Attila and his barbaric horde, and proves he's in control by bringing Attila to tears.You have to see it to truly appreciate the humor.I also enjoyed the keys stealing monkey, Dexter, and his crazy penchant for causing Larry a lot of trouble.As far as special features go, this particular disc only has 2 audio commentaries available.If you're wanting more than that in the special features department, you're probably better off purchasing the 2-disc special edition.3 The movie is almost exactly as you expected it to be.CG fun, family friendly with a soft conflict and cute resolution.It did everything it was supposed to and felt very formulaic.The movie earned a few giggles out of me, but I am not calling it the comedy event of last year.I think if you have kids this movie would be perfect for them.It is light, cute and has some cool imagination behind it.It had a very Jumanji/Zanthura feel to it, but even lighter still.Some of the CG was very good.Like the Dinosaur that we all saw in the preview.He was awesome.Some of it was not so good, really bad layering and backdrops, it felt very rushed and is very noticeable to the normal movie watcher.It kinda leaves you going hmm, that looks kinda weird.Its not as bad as it could be, but you do see it and makes me wonder, if they ran out of money and had to skim a bit.The movie comes with a truck load of actors in the movie.All of whom did fine.I didn't feel love for anyone, but I wasn't turned off by anything either, this movie did just what it needed to, to get by.[tag]Ben Stiller[/tag] was normal Ben Stiller, doing his normal guy thing.No character, no surprises as far as that goes.I think it's rentable for sure, and if you have kids, its a for sure recommendation.I would think it would still be a good choice to take them to see in the theater, if you are looking for something for them, and don't want to go see Bridge to Terabithia this weekend.4 I was surprised at how much I enjoyed this one.Yes it's silly and predominantly a children's movie, but it also had some humor in it for the adults.I guess it reminded me of all the old Bugs Bunny cartoons I grew up watching.I enjoyed them as a child, but watching them again as an adult I saw whole other levels of humor that I never got as a kid.There were a lot of great comedians in this one, too.Ben Stiller, Owen Wilson, Robin Williams, etc.Stiller takes a job as a night watchman in a museum only to find out that the exhibits come to life after closing.Chaos ensues.It's not high drama filled with cutting social commentary, but you'll at least laugh.5 I am so impressed that there was no bad language or sex in the movie.I am not sure if the mom had a live in boyfriend or not but if she did they didn't focus on it so your kid may not even pay attention to it.Being a Ben Stiller movie it was not as funny as I expected because I was expecting a laugh all the way through and loud movie but it was a normal comedy.I am giving it a 5 star rating because it had top-notch actors and the creators and actors were able to keep it clean, something rare in the movies.

《博物馆奇妙夜》观后影评
观看完《博物馆奇妙夜》这部电影后,真的让我很触目惊心,无论是里面的人物、动物还是其他道具拍摄的都很好很逼真,这简直就是太奇幻,太搞笑了,说明拍摄者们的摄影技巧对于我来说真的是太高超了。
看完这部科幻电影后给我的感觉就是,我很想再看一遍,想继续追踪它的奇迹。
电影里面的整体画面镜头效果很好,无论是情节方面的、动作方面的还是技巧方面的都运用的很好。在还没看到里面的某个画面时,就会让人产生悬疑,接着的将会发生什么事;当突然某个惊人的画面跳出来时,真的很让人惊叹,让人突然大叫一声。这部电影里的内容也很新奇、充实,里面穿插着许多令人眼花缭乱的视觉特技,音效和特技效果也很逼真。如,特技效果在一个对总统的镜头中有特意的体现,那就是他马上要变回蜡像时一个镜头中马的眼睛动了一下,当镜头从他的一个侧面转向另一个侧面的时候,人物和马都立刻僵住不动了,镜头与镜头之间组接的很好,从中可以看出这里面是用了特技效果的。
以上就是我观看完《博物院奇妙夜》这部电影后的影评了。

第三篇:博物馆奇妙夜
中外影视概论
《博物馆奇妙夜》影评
当我们参观博物馆时,我们总是以漠然的态度对待里面的陈列品。因为在我们的潜意识里,他们都是过去的东西,离我们很久远的东西,和我们几乎毫不相干的东西。今天课堂上放映了《博物馆奇妙夜》这部电影,心中颇有感触。
电影先是讲了主人公在生活中陷入危机妻子离婚,儿子日益与自己疏远和不信任,房租快要付不起了,生活拮据的画面。当然,更严重的是,他失去了自己的工作。于是,问题的关键是如何尽快找到一份工作。在万般无奈之下,他应聘成为了博物馆的夜班保安。于是开始了三个不可思议的夜晚。
工作的第一个晚上,拉里拿着一个超大的手电筒,百无聊赖地漫步在走廊,他觉得这个夜晚对于自己来说,将会既平静又孤独,直到一批预想不到的“访客”突然造访。恐龙“复活”了。对于一无所知的他来说,这简直就是梦中才有的情景。恐龙向他奔来,他一无所措,满地逃跑。焦急中想到了给馆长打电话寻求帮助。可是馆长在就会上,声音太吵根本听不到他在说什么,也没有赶回去帮忙。几次对话之后,他得知博物馆有一本手册,里面讲解了各种应对“险情”的方法。匆忙之中,他按着书本上的提示,找到了骨头开始丢骨头,恐龙像狗一样的场景出现了。他一扔,恐龙化石就立刻把他叼回来放到他面前。还有大象,各种飞禽走兽满地乱串。其中最搞笑的是他和猴子的斗智斗勇,猴子竟然把他的手册抢走了,并且给撕掉了。猴子还撒尿。他只能望洋兴叹。各种新奇奇怪的事接踵而至,他应接不暇。最后,他得到了西奥多罗斯福的指点:要摆平这一切,要多学一些历史知识。只有这样,才能真正让那些相互仇视的人们和平相处。
于是在第二天的白天查阅各种资料,作好了充分的知识和物质(包括假钥匙、泡泡糖等等)准备之后,他雄心勃勃地又走进了博物馆。一开始似乎因为准备充分,应对得当而得心应手。他首先将恐龙的骨头绑在遥控车上,又给了原始人打火机,给了复活岛石像口香糖,用假钥匙骗过了猴子,将玛雅人关在玻璃里,用和平的手段调节了屋大维和小吉的不和,但在给匈奴人变魔术时露了馅差点被五马分尸,这时他看见了猴子拿着他的钥匙,突然发觉事情不对劲。本来好好的计划完全被打乱了,还害死了一个野人。这时他才认识到自己任务的重要性。而此时老看守员也露出了他们的真面目,想要偷走博物馆的金匾。短暂的宁静之后,博物馆的一切又乱了。电影主人公难以忍受这一切混乱,想要放弃。但是罗斯福地对他说:有时英雄造时势,有时时势造英雄。这给了他很大的触动。第三个晚上,他发现了老看守员的阴谋,他面临着危机,他用他被激发出来的领导才能,英雄气概,用他学习获得的历史知识,带领博物馆里的朋友战胜了敌人,战胜了阴谋,赢得了儿子的信任和崇拜,甚至赢得了爱情。博物馆在莱瑞的努力下终于实现了真正的“和谐社会”,博物馆里再也没有了战争而混乱,一切在莱瑞的管理之下井井有条,博物馆一片歌舞升平,从此之后博物馆每夜都是狂欢。
同时,由于晚上下大雪,恐龙的脚印留在了外面。第二天新闻报道了这样的新闻,使得博物馆声名大噪。来博物馆参观的人络绎不绝。本来打算炒他鱿鱼的老板也重新审视。重新把手电筒和钥匙交给了他。电影就在这样的情境中结束了。
电影的主题也很积极向上,主题是小人物也有颗强大的心。人只要有责任感,有学习心,有团队意识,给个机会,你一样可以是镁光灯的聚焦点。电影中的主人公用三个晚上,证明了这一点。电影的启示发人深思。电影告诉我多学些历史在现实社会中有多么的重要。读史可以明心,不是每个人都会遇到一些需要历史知识才能解决危机的极端情况。但是历史依然十分重要,它给我们知识并引导这些知识内化成为智慧,成为我们应对生活的能力;更重要的是,学习历史能让我们获得对生命的掌控感和优越感,让我们短暂的一生更加从容自在。靠的是吸引力而不是推力,靠的是自愿接受而不是强迫接受。
同时,我们也可以看出,这部电影无异于再次为美国在全世界做了一广告,全世界的人来到美国之后天天都在过节,而这一切却都在莱瑞这个美国白人的的管理之下,影片最后莱瑞一身警卫的服装站在二楼骄傲地看着楼下人们的欢庆,在一个警卫的秩序之下自由着。这个镜头明显是在宣扬全世界都在美国这个世界警察(莱瑞是警卫)的管理之下才能自由生活的思想。你不得不佩服美国人的自大已经自大出了一种艺术感,明明是一部政治活剧,却被看成了童话喜剧,看来真正神话的不是美国军队,美国军队最多就是神奇,而美国电影才是神话!
当然,《博物馆奇妙夜》也是美国实施软权力的又一巨大而成功的砝码,美国悄悄地将美国的意识形态和类似美国就是世界、美国就是天堂的信息输入进你的大脑。你怎么敢肯定真正的霸王龙除了凶残以外是不是也会像电影里那样如小狗一般可爱并且还会希望人扔骨头让它玩呢?你怎么敢肯定复活节岛巨像的秘密不是它非常喜欢吃泡泡糖?尤其是片中莱瑞的儿子骑着霸王龙的场面对任何一个孩子都具有绝对的吸引力——你敢说你小时侯没做过这样的一个梦吗?

第五篇:博物馆奇妙夜观后感
The museum wonderful night show I must admit, the idea behind Night at the Museum is very clever.At night at the natural history museum in New York the exhibits come to life and wreak havoc thanks to a mummy's curse.It's up to the new night security guard Larry(Ben Stiller)to keep the chaos from spilling out into the streets of New York and keep the exhibits from perishing in the light of day.Larry is left this task after three longtime night guards, played by legends Dick Van Dyke, Mickey Rooney and Bill Cobbs, are let go.Let's just say they are a little bitter about being let go.They are kind enough to leave Larry an instruction manual but when Larry gets cocky, thinking he knows how to handle this situation, things go from weird to worse.Larry would not have taken this job but his ex-wife Erica(Kim Raver)threatened to take away his son Nick(Jake Cherry)if he didn't find a steady job and place to live.No points for guessing that Nick will get in on the museum madness.You also get no points that the pretty museum tour guide, played by Spy Kids star Carla Gugino, will become Larry's love interest.The best part of Night at the Museum is Robin Williams as President Teddy Roosevelt.Coming to life nightly to ride his horse throughout the museum, Williams' Mr.President is the most helpful of the museum exhibits and of course when it comes to delivering the moral of the story who better than a former President.Of course, Williams can't help but ham it up a little, but you expect that from Robin Williams.Ben Stilller seems at a loss to keep up with the goofy CGI madness of Night at the Museum.Rushed through the exposition, his character is essnetially a deadbeat who nearly loses his kid because he's so lazy.Not exactly a winning character.Once inside the museum, Stiller's Larry vacillates from coward to cocky but mostly just runs around confused and angry.Director Shawn Levy and writers Garant and Lennon hit all of the typical family movie beats, a lesson learned, bathroom humor and a monkey.They also toss in a couple action movie cliches for good measure including a chase scene involving an ancient stage coach and a miniature SUV.Trust me, my description reads far more interesting than the actual scene.
