cricketbat Men in Black 3 is better than the second installment, but not as good as the original movie. Josh Brolin does such a good job playing Tommy Lee Jones that it's easy to forget they're different actors. And who knew that Jemaine Clement would make such a convincing and intimidating villain? Yes, this movie is full of plot holes, but it's a fun ride and it fits well into the Men in Black mythology.

The Movie Diorama Let's face it, anything could've been better than 'Men In Black 2' in what is quite possibly one of the most boring sequels ever. A franchise hiatus and our beloved secret agents are back in another entertaining sci-fi adventure. Boris The Animal has escaped from a lunar prison and wants to take revenge on Agent K. What better way to do it than to erase him from time itself. However, Agent J still remembers him and must go back in time to save Agent K and the world from an alien invasion. Automatically have to deduct a point just for the use of time travel and not addressing paradoxical elements. It's a lazy uninspired gimmick and is only used decently in a quarter of good sci-fi flicks. In saying that, the 'Men in Black' aesthetic appeal still remains. It's as if this sequel was made in the 90's and I appreciated the need for continuity. It wasn't overly dark and depressing, t'was a light fun romp that everyone in the family can enjoy. But, that's all it is. Don't go into this wanting to be blown away by another revolutionary plot, it is something we have seen numerous times in the past. The narrative was good, very well paced. Several occasions of going to point A to B to C etc. which introduces an array of humorous characters like an undercover Andy Warhol. Boris The Animal was a memorable antagonist who literally could've decimated Agent K and J easily. Seriously. He kills everyone else with ease. But I suppose we wouldn't have ourselves a feature film then. Tommy Lee Jones needed far more screen time. Will Smith was Will Smith. The stand out, and most revelatory casting choice in years, is Josh Brolin as a young Agent K. He got Jones' mannerisms down to perfection. Thoroughly enjoyed his performance. Dare I say I wanted to see more of Scherzinger as well? The visual effects were fine, the human CGI has dated pretty badly but on the whole it is watchable. A good and enjoyable sequel, that for some reason addresses racial stereotypes...!

Rupert Munn After the rather soulless drag of MIB2, I wasn't expecting much from another sequel, but this grabbed me from the get go. It's occasionally clunky, especially early on, but it's just such good fun that I didn't really mind. It felt like exactly what a good sequel ought to be - character development for familiar faces, entertaining new characters, and above all recapturing the atmosphere of the original. This film did a fantastic job of telling an engaging new story, which did a good job of balancing the funny, the dramatic and the emotional, with a fine sense of ludicrous fun which paid homage to the original whilst maintaining its own independent feel. The story is not a mind-blowing narrative, but it's wacky enough to leave you satisfied, and its hilarious yet menacing antagonist drives the story to its surprisingly poignant conclusion. A genuinely enjoyable watch.

Bodo J and K return to another adventure—this time with time travel involved. This sequel keeps some of the same energy that characterized its prequels and adds a bit of color by being partially set in the 60's.Yes, there is time paradoxes. And yes, there are some plot holes / points where the main villain, Boris the Animal, doesn't act particularly smart and you're wondering about his actions. But all in all the story works and adds some depth to the relationship between J and K, as well as quite some nice revelations towards the end that round up the whole Men in Black trilogy.Special effects are o.k. to good (sometimes the CGI looks very CGI) and the action is entertaining. All in all a successful follow up to the prequels.
