For some reason there seems to be a bit of backlash at the recent release of the trailer for Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian the sequel to the 2006 family blockbuster Night at the Museum starring Ben Stiller. I really don't know what the problem is. Night at the Museum was a great family film with enough laughs for kids and adults. Ricky Gervais had a great bit part as the museum curator and Owen Wilson and Steve Coogan bickering back and forth as the miniatures exhibits was hilarious too. And of course seeing Robin Williams return to a fun comedy was more than welcome (BANGARANG!). Sure this wasn't an absolutely stunning stroke of comedic brilliance, but by no means was it painful to watch.
Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian ups the ante by not only bringing back all the original cast members, but throwing in Hank Azaria as Kah Mun Rah (not the same Rah character from the first), Bill Hader as General Custer, Amy Adams as Amelia Earhart, Christopher Guest as Ivan the Terrible, Eugene Levy as Albert Einstein, and even The Office's Ed Helms and Craig Robinson have a couple bit parts.
So since FirstShowing.net's Alex Billington called this "just plain awful" and /Film's Peter Sciretta refused to even post the trailer on his site, here it is for your own viewing and judgment, the first trailer for Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian.

Hilarious - I think this one is going to be huge!
Ryan:
I agree with you. The best part about the first one was all of the side characters. With the addition of so many awesome actors, this film should be a lot of fun.
