Josh Brolin impersonating the young Tommy Lee Jones is worth the price of admission to "Men in Black 3."
The movie represents at least a partial return to form--not as inventive as the first, but surely better than the recycled materials that made up the second.
It turns out to be reasonably entertaining, though not enough to make me crave Men in Black 4.
The Smith-Jones duo's return as the titularly clad operatives, while not exactly essential, comes with the charms of reprised, well-liked characters and a "didn't-see-that-coming" conclusion that makes up for the first hour's sequelitis.
If there ever is a "Men in Black IV" -- and at this point, it's hard to imagine one -- let's hope it finds that delicate balance between the yuks and the yucks.
This spirited three-quel comes close to the exuberance of the first Men in Black and is a distinct improvement over its limp 2002 follow-up.
Men in Black 3 is a fun and entertaining film that comes to Blu-Ray with great quality and a wonderful selection of special features.
"MIB 3" doesn't have the same see-it-for-the-first-time magic that the original had, and tonally, with Boris, it's a totally different animal. But it's just as strong of a film.
This belated sequel is by no means a masterpiece, but it benefits from inspired casting and an epic final act.
Discerning viewers will find problems with a few of the film's twists and turns, but moment to moment, there's still plenty of fun to be had with the Men in Black.
The effects and direction make this a pleasant diversion, but with a bunch of clunky one-liners and half-baked scenes this is a film that won't be remembered long.
Too often sci-fi epics miss the balance between spectacle and storytelling. While Men in Black 3 isn't always consistent in humour and pace, Sonnenfeld, with a well-considered script from David Koepp, manages to make it work.
This mostly solid sequel is a return to form for the series and just stellar enough to make it a must-see for fans of summer popcorn fare, no matter your age.
"Men in Black 3" is fun and entertaining and shows hope that the series is not as dead as it seemed.
Like so many sequels, "MIB3" lacks the charisma of the original "Men In Black."
keep you interested enough to leave the cinema without feeling you've been cheated
At some point in the future, probably not more than a couple of weeks, you'll realize that you barely remember seeing it.
Mainly rollicks along, keeping a nice balance between grotesque-alien playfulness and badass secret-agent seriousness. The story doesn't have as much fun with the near-alien weirdnesses of 1969 as it could have but the ending comes with a poignant twist.
Despite a rough start, "Men In Black 3" is still decent. It's mostly due to the likes of Josh Brolin and Michael Stuhlbarg's fantastic performances along with Rick Baker's exceptionally creative creature designs, but the ending packs an emotional punch.
It's summer movie smack, and it leaves you hungry only for more of the same.
MIB3 defines how a smart summer tentpole extravaganza should look and act.
Here's a case of a second sequel being better than the first because, well, it had to be...Thankfully, reliance on visual effects has been dialled down this time around for the sake of a decent story.
Smarter than its predecessors, and better-looking, 'Men in Black 3' is an entertaining and (I hope) touching wrap-up to the buddy film science-fiction franchise that began 15 years ago.
Beneath all the polish -- and Will Smith's considerable charm -- is a mediocre, lazily written story.
The first follow-up to 'Men in Black', ten years ago, seemed to be running on empty. It was the embodiment of everything that's wrong with sequels, whereas this one won me over completely.
Sonnenfeld strikes a rich vein of comedy in production designer Bo Welch's imagining of the MIB in the 1960s.
