Well Worth the Wait. Kudos

Rating: 10/10 (2 December 2012)

The MIB team is again in the process of saving the earth from alien invasion, but this time Agent J (Will Smith) needs to go back in time - 1969 - to prevent Agent K (Tommy Lee Jones) from being assassinated by Boris the Animal (Jemaine Clement).
This was definitely worth the wait. We see excellent CGI with aliens interacting nice with each other and with humans, but we also see the bad CGI aliens fighting with humans; There were good acting performances all around, and a lot of comedy within smart dialogue.
A nice touch in the beginning was when there was a moment of silence and a sort of (read: really bad) eulogy by Agent K for the former head of MIB, Zed (Rip Torn), who had passed away. Zed's replacement is Agent O (Emma Thompson). We are not sure why Rip Torn was not in this movie.
A younger Agent K - back in 1969 - is played by Josh Brolin who steals the show, and nails Tommy Lee Jones' voice and cadence. That combination helps put this MIB (better than MIB 2 and on a par with the first MIB) over the top. Kudos.
Now for the question you may have: why didn't Agent J see himself when he went back to 1969. Well, that was 43-yrs ago and Agent J was either a kid or wasn't born yet. See?
We get a good script, plausible story, some good comedic lines, as well as some philosophical discussion when Griffin (Michael Stuhlbarj) comes on the scene with his predictions of what is about to happen. Griffin lives in all 5-dimensions and sees all possibilities and the outcomes of all realities (Yes, he has that Robins Williams look about him). He can transcend time as he appears in 1969 and in the present. We may learn more about him in future MIBs. BTW: when is the next one?
Violence: Yes. Sex: No. Nudity: No. Language: Soft stuff and not much of it.
