For anyone that is an X-men fan and expecting to see a movie based in comic-book lore then don't see this movie. However, if you just enjoy a good X-men movie then you should definitely watch this one. It's good, Hollywood action fun. There are some inconsistencies from the other X-men movies which is a bit bothersome but it does not distract from the entertainment. It's really worth it just to see the relationship between Charles and Erik and to see a kick-ass villian in Kevin Bacon.
I am a fan of pretty much anything Jack Black dishes out and this is one of my favorites. I have never read Gulliver's Travels but am familiar with the story and I love the modern spin "Jack Black style" on a classic. It was fun, clever, charming and funny. I would definitely recommend it to anyone young or old, with family or without. I saw it in 2D so I am not sure how it plays out in 3D but it is definitely on my list to see again and add to my list of home movies when available for purchase!
I really loved the first Night of the Museum and thought it was very out of character for Ben Stiller but in the best possible way. This sequel was just as enjoyable. Very funny, very cinematic and never a dull moment. All the important characters were still there, played by the same actors which is always a plus in my book. The new characters were funny and endearing, which only added to a great story. The second movie can stand alone from the first, which allows for space to play within the story. Not really sure where the franchise can go from here. Smithsonian is after all the biggest museum possible but definitely a battle everyone should go see. Keep an eye out for the little Einsteins!
