This third and concluding entry in the Night At The Museum trilogy is surprisingly thoughtful, entertaining, well-written and poignant (the latter not just because of Robin Williams), and it is certainly more fun than the self-consciously bloated second film. There is actually a solid premise to the story, the London locations give it interest, and Dan Stevens is a riot as Lancelot. There are apt references to the series' (limited) mythology, the regulars (such as Steve Coogan and Owen Wilson) are fine, although Rebel Wilson and Ricky Gervais remain an acquired taste, and even Ben Stiller doubling up as a Neanderthal (an idea that sounds like a bad Adam Sandler movie) is tolerably entertaining. Whilst it offers little new, Secret Of The Tomb is a proper and entertaining ending to a pleasant series.
