MFields Review: Men in Black 3

Rating: 8/10 (26 May 2012)

This is definitely an improvement over the last installment. I think what's great about this particular one is seeing Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones back together and the inclusion of Josh Brolin playing Tommy Lee Jones. That pretty much made the movie for me.
Okay, there are some things that bothered me about this movie, though. So the whole movie centers around time travel, right? Well how come when Tommy Lee Jones is ripped through time and everyone says he's been dead for forty years, wouldn't Will Smith be thinking the same thing? What makes him different from anyone else? Also, if Tommy Lee Jones' character was the one who recruited him, wouldn't Will Smith still just be a cop rather than being a part of MIB? Why is he working there if he never met K? It doesn't make sense! And how is it that very quickly people start believing in his time theory? It's like saying that someone went through time to steal my Rice Krispies because it magically disappeared right in front of me and the cop automatically believes me and tells me to go find a time machine.
But hey, I enjoyed the Josh Brolin scenes, though.
While I'm complaining, though, I have to admit that this is one annoying villain. I don't know, he just comes off as a bad guy that the main bad guy of the film would send to you when he doesn't feel like getting out of his chair. This Boris the Animal character just comes off as a mentally challenged bad guy.
But the action scenes (albeit short) were good and I enjoyed the chemistry between Will and Josh. Oh yeah, and there's this Griffin character too that knows everything about life and he's pretty annoying too. I know I complained a lot but I did enjoy the film. I wouldn't call it the best of the summer or anything but I'm glad I saw it. Oh and I can't stand 3D so I didn't see it in that.
