Production distractions & no surprises or imaginative design

Rating: 4/10 (25 June 2012)

I'm giving Men in Black a 4 due to the fact that it was so predictable and similar to the first 2 movies. Familiarity is important for most entertainment media however similarity breeds boredom. They also lost the comedic edge the first 2 movies had. The first 2 movies had some surprises in the scenes and imaginative characters wherein this one didn't really shock you or surprise you in any of the sets or the designs of any aliens. There was an unexpected thing that happened also. This movie was obviously shot in 3d. Which meant that some of the scenes were blurry as they were changed into 2d. It was also painstakingly obvious that it was shot in high def and digital because you could see the makeup lines and the dye job on Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones.
Was it good clean fun ? Yup.
They channeled the autistic guy from Fringe too hard w/ the Time Traveler though & his wardrobe was over done.....
I think Hollywood is going to have to re-think some things: like, allowing people to look naturally beautiful. The days of using make-up to accentuate features that get washed out because of stage lighting are gone. We can see everything now. Like eye contacts circles. Looking forward to watching a movie in the theater where you aren't distracted by wardrobe.
