He learns that the Tablet is corroding so he does some research and learns that Cecil, the former museum guard was at the site when the Tablet was discovered. He tells Larry that they were warned that if they remove it could mean the end. Larry realizes it means the end of magic. He talks to Ahkmenrah who says that he doesn't know anything. Only his father the Pharoah knows the Tablet's secrets. He learns that the Pharoah was sent to the London museum. So he convinces, Dr. McPhee the museum curator to help send him to London. He goes and takes Ahkmenrah with him but some of the others like Teddy Roosevelt, Attila, Octavius, and Jedediah come with him

Likes : This was such a hard film to watch as this was the last film that Robin Williams did before he pass away 2014 also Mickey Rooney last performance as well, too great actors we lost, it real hard writing the last Robin William film review.
This third installment still hold the magic of the first two film although it dose lack in the adventure concept, that part felt a little lazy, there a few moment that will have you will be laughing your head off special with some of the slap stick humor.
I love the fact they show the origin story at the beginning of the tablet location where you see Dick Van Dyke character as a young boy i think that was fitting for the story for the final film.
The performance were brilliant through out the film special with a cameo of huge jackman that scene was pretty funny with the character of Sir Lancelot played Dan Stevens who pulled of the old knight speaking tone in the voice pretty well, i wasn't over keen with Rebel Wilson i don't really find her funny because she act dumb kinds of slow the comedy flow but she did OK in this film.
Ben Stiller return only his time playing to part it brilliant how they got the two character to be like each other in moment & feelings that was cleverly done, Ben really pull off the emotional concept in this film. Ben KingsleyAnjali Jay performance for cameos really played of each other which shows good acting performances i think these two would have good on screen chemistry in other film.
As this is the last film this a film that is worth watch & a last good by to a legend of comedy that ending on a emotional ending that dose put you n tears as you realise this will be the last film your see the great Robin Williams in he will never been forgotten, i love the fact they dictated this film to Robin Williams & Mickey Rooney. this dose have a lot of slap stick humor so this is worth watching if you love the first two films.


Dislikes : This film could of done without Rebel Wilson sorry she just not funny, the lack of adventure in the concept didn't really give this third installment the send off it could of had but still have the emotional concept as the last film, it was still a great film to watch.

Overall : Great characters, lack the adventure but still has it moments, worth watching.

Rating: 5 out of 5 for entertainment / 7.9 out of 10 for concept / humor
