Not as good as the first one.

Hank Azaria sounded like Stewie Griffin throughout this movie and it became quite annoying!

2/5 stars......

THAT'S who Hank Azaria sounded like! Thanks. Been trying to place the voice for a couple of days now. The movie was pretty lame but Azaria did make me laugh a couple of times. Would have liked to have seen more of Ricky Gervais though.
2.5/5

Azaria sounds exactly like Boris Karlof from THE MUMMY. It is a near perfect impression.

Lots going on here. Pay special attention to the artwork in the art museum. I especially liked the Jackson Pollack.

This is a fun movie...nothing that will be long remembered, but still a pleasant way to spend a couple of hours. Lots of funny details for the adults to catch and some good chases for the kids.

Give this one a solid B+.

My six year old son and I really enjoyed the film.

For a movie shot on the 4k red camera, the film had a lot of grain.

Hmmm didn't see any real grain when I saw the trailer at Hoyts (digital) IMAX. Looked fairly good but not as good as Star Trek.

Well John if you see the movie, the opening shots look like they are trying to recreate the old 1960's italian spagetti western 2 perf superscope look.

I am glad to hear that there was a reason that he sounded this way and in a way I am sorry that I am not that old to know that.

I have actually seen this movie twice now. Being that I have 3 kids of my own and that I am now stepfather to 3 more - I had to see this twice.

The kids love this movie and it kept their attention. So I'd like to add one more star to my original review.
