Marvelous, inventive, wickedly fun writing.

Rating: Null/10 (7 January 2013)

All of the MIB movies are fun, that is what they set out to do, and that is what Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones make sure they do. The writing and acting are so inventive and fun it is hard to imagine anyone not enjoying it.
Will Smith is back as Agent J and in this installment a notorious alien, the last of his kind, is imprisoned in Lunar Max, the maximum security prison on the moon, where he has been for 40 years. But the alien, with the help of his girlfriend, manages to escape and make his way to Earth. The Men in Black must come up with a way to stop him or Earth will be lost.
Tommy Lee Jones is back as J's sidekick Agent K. And since this story involves time-travel back to 1969, Josh Brolin does a super job channeling Jones as the younger version of Agent K. I had never heard of Jemaine Clement but he is super as the alien, Boris The Animal.
Also good is Emma Thompson as Agent O, and my favorite scene is when she paraphrases with wild screams what an alien had said. Michael Stuhlbarg is another actor I had not heard of, he plays Griffin, a good alien who has the ability to see any number of alternate universes.
When Nicole Scherzinger came on screen early as Boris's Girlfriend , bringing him what he needed to escape Lunar Max, I knew I had seen her somewhere but couldn't place her until the closing credits. Then I recognize her as the singer, and also who had a reality TV show stint as a judge of a capella singing groups a couple of years ago.
Good, entertaining movie.
