Groovy twist

Rating: 10/10 (25 June 2012)

This was one of the most incredible sequels I have seen in awhile. 'K' and 'J'. Back together again for a more brilliant instalment in the series. Now with 'Z' gone, and passed away, 'J' must come to grips with his partners feelings. Or rather understand them in a whole new light. Thus a break out from the lunar prison built for one alien named Boris the animal. A creature of a ferocity which makes other alien nations look like choir boys. After Boris breaks out, he goes back in time to kill the younger version of 'K' before Boris gets his arm shot off by the man in black at cape Canaveral. 'J' in the meantime uses a device to go back as well to 1969 to stop Boris with his plan. Yet needs one individual to help him. A man or alien named Griffin. A seer who can always look into the future no matter what time or what year it is. Boris needs to kill any alien who has this ability because of the nature of his crimes. So 'J' and 'K' find griffin, and use him to see events which will help them stop Boris, and save the earth from a possible invasion of Mongladites. This was a very clever film, using famous figures from the past such as the astronauts for the lunar venture, as well as Andy Warhol in one sequence. Or even the famous party which Andy Warhol hosted. All of the past events was used in coherence to the movie's plot. I found this to be a refreshing film start to finish. And the very sad part, of where 'J's father was killed in the line of duty helping both agents stop Boris and saving the earth. This was a bit of a tear jerker, to see 'j' as a young boy being handed a watch before his father was killed by Boris was sheer genius. Barry Sonnenfeld did a great job to hoist up the genre another notch, with the use of Josh Brolin who I thought was a dead ringer for the younger version of 'K'. But will smith was all around fantastic, his ability to see the humour in everything while being serious at the same time makes me smile. I love his acting, and his wit. To see him back in the saddle of agent 'J' was in my view a good wait for the summer. Other films will have to wait for my comments until I get the chance to see them.
