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...!

A comedy with aliens, where wit and humour meets ET!Probably the best movie in the whole saga. The main actors have a real chemistry and enjoy doing this movie. Even the animated creatures have fun!An enjoyable 7 out of 10 movie you won't regret watching, and will laugh with friends about it.

On sheer inventiveness alone, this is the best of all three Men in Black films. Clearly, the ten year break between this and the forgettable second film allowed the filmmakers to come up with something worthwhile.Usually, time travel movies create a lot of brain-frying paradoxes, but MIB3 keeps it simple and uses some quick exposition to do away (and laugh at) any questions raised.Starting with two great set-pieces, almost back-to-back, MIB3 contains the best choreographed action of the three films. Boris the Animal's escape from a lunar prison sets him up as a formidable and more interesting villain than the one in the previous film. Though he doesn't have the physical abilities of Vincent D'Onfrio, he's genuinely scary.Then there's the action in the Chinese restaurant, which comes fast and hits like a sledgehammer, and yet, unlike a Michael Bay movie, it is coherent, fluid and doesn't finding glee in mindless death and destruction.After that, the film sees Will Smith go back in time to save Tommy Lee Jones's life. It is here some fresh life is breathed into the franchise, thanks to Josh Brolin's incredible performance as the younger version of Agent K. He's so good, all traces of Brolin disappear.Also, Emma Thompson's hair is really nice.

My reaction is Watch this movie you won't be disappointed And Josh Brolin did a good job on past Kay The villain is awesome as fudge The setup is more awesome than the second movie. But the good thing is not the worst sequel and the special effects is still top notch And the guys who hate this movie they did not watch the series and the comic
