Thoughts
At this point in the trilogy, you're into the traditional formula with the plot based around the theme - people don't quite believe in the magic that brings museum pieces to life, but then there is something risking their future, Ben Stiller comes to the rescue, and it all works out with a party at the end.
That doesn't mean it's a bad film though, there are enough nods to the familiar alongside new things (Rebel Wilson and Lancelot). Also the Hugh Jackman thing was brilliant. You know exactly what you're getting with the film, so as long as you sit back and enjoy the ride, then there aren't really any complaints.
