Overall Grade: C+
Men in Black III is the third installment based on the cult comic book and I kinda hope it is the last one. Though it delivers on some action and cool fictional technology, the pace of the movie is much slower than the first two and time travel always causes a number of plot holes.
The film stars Will Smith, Tommy Lee Jones and Josh Brolin. Smith and Jones reprise their roles as agent J and agent K while Brolin steps in as the Young Agent K when (SPOILER ALERT IF YOU HAVENT SEEN THE TRAILERS) J is forced to travel back in time.
The film starts with Boris “The Animal” breaking out of a prison cell on the moon. He then travels back in time in an effort to kill agent K before he can arrest him and stop an alien invasion of earth.
I personally thought Jones’ age was showing in this film. He is his aggressive, dry, usual self, but there is a major sense of lacking. It was almost like he didn’t want to be there. If you like Will Smith then this movie is for you. It is full of him and he basically carries the movie until Brolin comes into play. He does an outstanding job in a very difficult role. Not only does he have to try and play a young Agent K, but in doing so he has to play a young Tommy Lee Jones.
As I said earlier the pace of this movie is much slower than its predecessors. That is due to the time travel and the constant explanation that the audience needs. Visually the movie is pleasing as they bring in a number of CGI aliens and vehicles. If I were you I would matinee this movie. And then hope they are done with this franchise.
