Seeing Josh Brolin playing a young Tommy Lee Jones to Will Smith is one of several highlights in Men in Black 3

Rating: 7/10 (31 May 2012)

I've previously only seen parts of the original Men in Black and don't remember too much of Men in Black II. So it was that I went to watch the latest one with my movie theatre-working friend with not too much expectations. As a result, I thought it was mostly funny if not hilarious the whole way through. Still, it was pretty entertaining especially when Will Smith went back to 1969 to meet Tommy Lee Jones' character as a young man, here played by Josh Brolin in an uncanny impersonation (though both me and my friend also noticed a bit of George W. Bush there). There was also a fine villain portrayed by Jermaine Clement and a reasonably compellingly amusing future-seeing sidekick enacted by Michael Stuhlbarg. I also thought Emma Thompson's part as the new superior was also quite chuckle worthy. Really, all I'll say now is Men in Black 3 is well worth a look.
