Men In Black III: Movie Review

25th May 2012

Cast: Will Smith, Tommy Lee Jones, Josh Brolin

Director: Barry Sonnenfield

Rating: 3.5/5

Are you still confused on why Agent K recruited Agent J knowing his dumb wittiness? Get the answer in Men In Black III.

The dashing duo, Will Smith and Tomy Lee Jones are black in their pristinely cut Men In Black suit for their third ‘alienistic’ adventure to protect the planet. But no talking dog in this one and you will probably miss him.  What more? The viewers will see the emotional bond strengthen between Agent K and Agent J.

Boris The Animal (Jemaine Clement) and Agent K has a dark past as a result of which the demon was locked up in a prison on the Moon. Years later, he escapes with vengeance over K and kills him by time travelling to the past.

Men In Black III leaps back in time to 1969 just before the launch of the Appolo where Agent J (Will Smith) has to save the life of Agent K (Tomy Lee Jones) from the spidery hands of Boris by killing him from the past. There is time travelling several times that makes you confused. But you will not get messed up rethinking about it. And you guys are sure to enjoy watching the younger K back in 1969 who is wittier. You need not keep a track on the previous films to understand MIB 3.

Will Smith, just like in the earlier parts, takes up the centre stage and rocks as Agent J. His spontaneous dialogues and witty jokes never get you bored. Compared to the earlier movies, Tomy has a not much of screen space this time as his younger version takes up the role as J's partner, portrayed by Josh Brolin.

Men In Black III Movie Review

Josh Brolin has taken the special effort to be the young K. His impersonation of Tomy's character is flawless and the most convincing. Well, with a little wit of course. No wonder J keeps asking 'what happened to you?'

The movie has less action and adventure with no high-tech machines compared to previous movies which might disappoint some of the MIB followers. Well, you can't expect 'neuralizer' and specialized guns way back in 1969 which K himself had invented later.

The screenplay by Etan Kohen and direction by Barry Sonnenfield stands out and the 3D works for the movie. But the Stephen Spielberg touch is missed as he is not produced it this time. Danny Elfman complemented the movie with great music.

The movie is a must watch for the loyal Men In Black followers and watch it for Will, Tom and Josh.
