Awesome movie with incredible special effects that look even better in 3D!

Rating: 8/10 (2 June 2012)

Men in Black III continues with the adventures of Agent K(Tommy Lee Jones) & Agent J(Will Smith) who are part of the secret government agency known as the Men in Black. The Men in Black mainly protect the Earth from deadly aliens all over the universe that somehow find their way to Earth. K's arch enemy Boris The Animal(Jermaine Clement) who is an alien, escapes from his prison, which is on the moon. He swears revenge on K for chopping off his hand. So, Boris goes back to the past using a time jump time machine & kills a younger Agent K(Josh Brolin) which means that he ceases to exist in the present. J is baffled by K's disappearance. He asks Agent O(Emma Thompson) as to where K is & she tells him that K's been dead for 40 years. Now, it's J's job to go back to the past using the same time machine Boris used & save his partner.
To be honest, I haven't watched Men in Black I & II. Fortunately for me, you can watch the third one without watching the first two and you can still understand what's going on for the most part. Since I haven't watched I & II, I don't know much about the great chemistry shared between Tommy Lee Jones & Will Smith. However, whatever little I've seen of it, it's absolutely spot on. This is mainly because of their differing personalities and attitudes. While J is a happy go lucky agent who destroys aliens with a smile and also manages to wise crack every now & then, K is a serious agent who always has a grim expression on his face(most of the time at least). This has been brilliantly done by Josh Brolin who plays a younger K. The facial expressions, the accent, the tone, and the soft interior as opposed to the hard exterior has been perfected by Brolin. MIB 3 is mainly about the back in time to save the future sorta thing & how J travels back in time to save K's life. So, this third addition is mainly about the chemistry between Josh Brolin & Will Smith. Do they pull it off? Yes! Brolin & Smith share the same magical chemistry that Jones & Smith share. In fact it's hard to believe the younger K is not played by Jones himself. Brolin is that spot on as K. A note on the performances. Will Smith is outstanding as Agent J. Tommy Lee Jones is brilliant as Agent K(though he has limited screen time). Josh Brolin is spectacular as a younger & more fun Agent K. He perfects K so well that, the viewer doesn't miss Jones even for a second when Brolin is playing K. The aliens are innovative & creative as always in an MIB flick. The variety of aliens & their differing appearances is jaw dropping & awe inspiring. The gadgets are slicker & cooler than they were in the first two films. The 3D really enhances the visuals & special effects of the movie. It has been used intelligently throughout the movie. MIB 3 is worth a watch, especially in 3D!
