It's all dumb, but fun.

Name : Nicolas Rapold / Alias : New York Times
A diverting and, here and there, rather funny journey for the museum stalwart Larry and his menagerie of Teddy Roosevelt, a miniature Roman general, a Neanderthal, a capuchin monkey and others.

Name : John Semley / Alias : Globe and Mail
Funny, charming kiddie-flick fare.

Name : Michael Rechtshaffen / Alias : Hollywood Reporter
Time to hang up the "Closed for Renovation" sign.

Name : Lindsey Bahr / Alias : Associated Press
In the end, "Secret of the Tomb" certainly wasn't necessary, but its earnest goofiness is hard to resist.

Name : Stephen Whitty / Alias : Newark Star-Ledger
The exhibits in this "Night at the Museum" may still come to life nightly. But their latest movie stays stubbornly inert.

Name : Tom Russo / Alias : Boston Globe
Assuming Wilson isn't being eyed as Stiller's replacement (or are we starting rumors?), it's satisfying to see this series ultimately shake off the relic dust and bow out with energy.

Name : Ignatiy Vishnevetsky / Alias : AV Club
Frankly, there isn't a whole lot about this scenario that isn't disturbing on some level.

Name : J. R. Jones / Alias : Chicago Reader
Ben Stiller, Steve Coogan, Owen Wilson, Ricky Gervais - all of them were considered edgy when they first arrived on the scene, but for some performers an edge is just something you use to pry open the piggy bank.

Name : Claudia Puig / Alias : USA Today
Where the previous films felt frenetic and forced, this outing feels breezier, more enjoyable and less contrived.

Name : Soren Anderson / Alias : Seattle Times
What is unexpected is the depth of emotion of many of the situations .

Name : Bill Goodykoontz / Alias : Arizona Republic
"Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb" is a rather lackluster affair, a cash grab that tries to aim a little higher but confuses sappy shortcuts with real emotion.

Name : Joe McGovern / Alias : Entertainment Weekly
It's kind of fun, unembarrassingly, and not least of all because the people who made it look like they had a good time doing so.

Name : Steven Rea / Alias : Philadelphia Inquirer
Like many a sequel that has exhausted its plot possibilities, Secret of the Tomb looks abroad to add color and culture.

Name : Tom Huddleston / Alias : Time Out
The most worthy figure from British history the writers can think to reincarnate is - wait for it - Sir Lancelot.

Name : Joe Williams / Alias : St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Granted, this series is primarily for kids, but nobody should feel dumber after watching a movie with "museum" in the title.

Name : Kristin Tillotson / Alias : Minneapolis Star Tribune
Ben Stiller and crew go for the easy laughs, spackling the cracks in their armor with a cavalcade of marquee-name cameos and one dizzying action scene after another.

Name : Sara Stewart / Alias : New York Post
More meh than manic, too reliant on wide shots of the ragtag Museum of Natural History cohorts striding down corridors.

Name : Tony Hicks / Alias : San Jose Mercury News
Levy - who directed all three movies - just couldn't muster up enough freshness to make this installment stand out from others.

Name : Alonso Duralde / Alias : TheWrap
Because when young children go to see a movie about dinosaur skeletons and a capuchin monkey who come alive at night in a museum, what they really want is to hear a divorced dad nagging his teen son about the value of an education.

Name : Michael O'Sullivan / Alias : Washington Post
Other than some stock establishing shots of London, the British setting is wasted, as are Ben Kingsley and Ricky Gervais, who, at times, seem almost embarrassed to be caught on camera.

Name : Joe Neumaier / Alias : New York Daily News
There's a serenity to museum visits, especially if it's a place you know and love. "Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb," amazingly, recaptures that feeling in big-studio franchise form.

Name : Tom Long / Alias : Detroit News
There are some key elements that make this "Night at the Museum" sequel work better than its predecessor.

Name : Scott Foundas / Alias : Variety
An altogether satisfying end to a series that has been vastly more entertaining than it had any reason to be.

Name : Stephanie Zacharek / Alias : Village Voice
The third installment, Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb may be the best, and even the generally wound-too-tight Ben Stiller - once again playing a bemused Museum of Natural History guard - is easy to tolerate.

Name : Rafer Guzman / Alias : Newsday
Williams glows briefly in one of his final roles, but the overall magic feels dim.

Name : Walter V. Addiego / Alias : San Francisco Chronicle
Mainly for "Night at the Museum" diehards.

Name : Michael Phillips / Alias : Chicago Tribune
It's a hectic pileup, this movie, but at least in its final laps it takes the time to say its goodbyes more or less properly.

Name : Peter Howell / Alias : Toronto Star
Let the dust finally settle on these museum pieces.

Name : J. R. Jones / Alias : Chicago Reader
Vera Brittain's celebrated memoir of the British home front in World War I gets a polished Masterpiece Theatre treatment that fails to diminish the story's wrenching emotional content.

Name : Leslie Felperin / Alias : Hollywood Reporter
Striking an elegantly sustained balance between intimacy and historical scope, director James Kent's WWI-set epic Testament of Youth encompasses nearly all of the virtues of classical British period drama and nearly none of the vices.

Name : Inkoo Kang / Alias : TheWrap
The World War I-set "Testament of Youth" makes a passionate and sensible case for [pacifism] through devastating, melancholy, persevering drama.

Name : Keith Uhlich / Alias : AV Club
There's a good movie in Brittain's story, but you wouldn't know it from this lethargic, BBC-produced bore.

Name : David Edelstein / Alias : New York Magazine/Vulture
Mournful, very fine .

Name : Peter Travers / Alias : Rolling Stone
Vikander and Harington provide the spark this World War I epic needs to get us through the tribulations and tragedies that pile on with numbing regularity.

Name : Marsha McCreadie / Alias : Village Voice
Without the epic sweep of a Doctor Zhivago, it's an intellectual and emotional landscape Vera traverses: grief to survival and, finally, pacifism.

Name : Joe Morgenstern / Alias : Wall Street Journal
Tough-minded and sometimes harrowing.

Name : Bill Goodykoontz / Alias : Arizona Republic
This is World War I from a woman's point of view, a different perspective than we usually see. It's the story of someone who doesn't fight . but for whom the horrors of war are just as vivid and devastating.

Name : Mick LaSalle / Alias : San Francisco Chronicle
In World War I, a generation learned that war was not the answer. In World War II, another generation learned that pacifism was not the answer. It would seem that there just isn't an answer.

Name : Elaine Teng / Alias : The New Republic
Just once, it would be refreshing to see Britain look like something other than a country-living catalogue.

Name : Nathalie Atkinson / Alias : Globe and Mail
In what is a well-acted but fairly typical prestige period drama, it's Vikander's nuanced performance as the resolute but still-vulnerable Vera who gives the film its depth.

Name : Jordan Hoffman / Alias : New York Daily News
[D]elivers one rich and emotional scene after another

Name : Ella Taylor / Alias : NPR
Vikander crisply holds the screen as a naive rebel transformed by unspeakable suffering into a mature, independent young woman who remains open to the possibility of a new love and a rebuilt England.

Name : Peter Rainer / Alias : Christian Science Monitor
As Vera, the rebellious, moneyed young woman whose dream of graduating from Oxford is deferred when the war breaks out, Alicia Vikander is such a ferociously intuitive performer that you can't take your eyes off her.

Name : Kenneth Turan / Alias : Los Angeles Times
From first to last, "Testament of Youth" sweeps you away.

Name : Stephen Holden / Alias : New York Times
Evokes the march of history with a balance and restraint exhibited by few movies with such grand ambitions.

Name : Guy Lodge / Alias : Variety
Kent presents the female experience of war with crisp, tactile practicality . Unabashedly romantic the film may be, but little about Brittain's grief-ridden personal awakening is needlessly romanticized.

Name : Linda Barnard / Alias : Toronto Star
This is Vikander's film and she is very good here.

Name : Leah Greenblatt / Alias : Entertainment Weekly
We don't need movies to tell us war is hell. But at their best, they humanize its unfathomable losses in a way that history books never quite can.

Name : Rex Reed / Alias : New York Observer
The book is still is in print to this day, selling like crumpets at high tea. The movie is a proud collation of its reflected glory. Don't miss it.

Name : Kyle Smith / Alias : New York Post
The film is elegantly done, mainly because it wisely expends most of its energy on Alicia Vikander's face.

Name : Michael O'Sullivan / Alias : Washington Post
[Vikander's] performance is a subtle tour de force of feeling and restraint, made all the more remarkable by the whiplash highs and lows of this true but melodramatic tale.

Name : Cath Clarke / Alias : Time Out
A beautifully acted but disappointingly stiff period drama.
