Superb Third Entry

Rating: 5/10 (15 May 2015)

Faster paced than the first and more entertaining than the second, Men in Black III is a worthy addition to the strange franchise, and lead stars Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones step back into the roles of Agent K and J like they it was yesterday. This adventures puts Agent J back in time to prevent a deadly plan that could very well change the fate of the planet. Josh Brolin nails it playing a younger Agent K, he's got the grunting and moaning right, the facial expressions, the blunt line delivery and empty emotion that Tommy Lee Jones brought to his character originally. Barry Sonnenfeld's style is in your face and nifty, the actors get right up to the camera and scenes jump from one to the next with energy, but the first twenty odd minutes before the time-jump are slower than the rest. I loved the opening featuring Nicole Scherzinger's debut role as Boris' girlfriend, she's actually very good and sexy as hell, as with Alice Eve's excellent performance as younger Agent O, but Emma Thompson is the scene stealer as the present Agent O. The 3D effects are impressive, most noticeably at the time jump sequence and the Cape Canaveral sequence which is just a technical marvel as the main characters battle it out above the launchpad. You'll be thrilled, entertained and left with a big cheesy grin on your face.
