CommentsXp Best movie ever!

Catangro After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Usamah Harvey The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

cricketbat Men in Black 3 is better than the second installment, but not as good as the original movie. Josh Brolin does such a good job playing Tommy Lee Jones that it's easy to forget they're different actors. And who knew that Jemaine Clement would make such a convincing and intimidating villain? Yes, this movie is full of plot holes, but it's a fun ride and it fits well into the Men in Black mythology.

kassjl44 Brolin could've been nominated for an Oscar for his turn as a young Agent Kay. On the other hand, Smith made me wish that had cast Jay Pharoah as a younger version of Agent Jay, 'cause at least Pharoah is funny. The '69 Mets tie-in was great also. Overall, a solid sci-if comedy if you can overlook Smith's smattering of dud jokes and not so fresh acting. Let's Go Mets!

slightlymad22 Men In Black 3 (2012)Will Smith took an unheard of 4 years off (something he had never done before) after Seven Pounds, to help promote his children in show business. His daughter had a hit single with Whip My Hair and his son Jaden started in the remake of The Karate Kid and dabbled in music too. When he returned to the big screen, he played it safe and went with a sequel to one of his biggest hits. Plot In A Paragraph: Agent J (Smith) travels in time to M.I.B.'s early days in 1969 to stop an alien from assassinating his friend Agent K and changing history.4 years is a long time between movies for an actor, and it's pretty much like American audiences didn't really care when he returned. Even in a big budget sequel, he couldn't crack the top 10. It is the highest grossing entry in the MIB series globally though.Personally this is my favourite Men In Black movie, it's vastly superior to the second and more touching than the first. Josh Brolin totally steals the show as a young Tommy Lee Jones, who doesn't really have much to do. I'm not sure why Nicole Scherzinger was hired, what is nothing more than a cameo and some close ups of her boobs. Another nice performance for me was Michael Stuhlbarg who plays Griffin in what can only be described as a Robin Williams esque performance. He is a joy. Men In Black grossed $179 million at the domestic box office, to end the year the 14th highest grossing movie of 2012.

Jack Venturo Greetings Movie Lovers and Movie Makers! This month we will be discussing "Men in Black 3" of course you can't talk about a sequel without talking about the one that started it all. So let's travel back in time! (Fitting isn't it?) Back to a simpler era, Back in the day when things when things where less complicated, and our modems where loud and obnoxious… 1997! "Men in Black" was out in the theaters and we loved every minute of it! Why? Because it was new and fresh, it was sci-fi and comedy, it had gadgets and special effects that where not over the top, it had a bit of the new world (CGI) and a bit of the old world (Rick Baker) but of course you can't forget, the movie was pining together two of our favorite actors Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones. We had fun watching it! Until we saw "Men in Black 2" (2002) well, things got a little weird, the love interest from the first movie was gone and a new love interest was introduced who at the end of the movie was… well, gone! And it left us with a weird feeling of abandonment, the two movies felt a bit unfinished. Of course we didn't feel this stronger than when we heard about "Men in Black 3" and then to hear all of the behind the scenes fiasco that where occurring with the production of the film, (They have no ending, its being rewritten by Will Smith, etc. etc.) Let's get to the point! Jack the "The Film Lover" says... "Men in Black 3" was FUN! It was a good ride! It had the best villain out of the three films and dare I say it? The best MIB so far. Even though you changed the recipe and replaced actors and took out some familiar ones. I loved it… But how? and why? Well to answer these questions here is… Jack "The Filmmaker"… when making a sequel you need to remember your audience. They are coming back to see the continuing story of your hero (In this case Heroes) you want to see what they are up to again, and see them get into and out of the same jams as they did before! and well maybe a couple of new ones. But remember like a great recipe for a good meal you need to change things up a bit for the next time your guests visit, maybe a new diner set or a new side dish or wine to go along with the main course. How about a new actor? Or a new era in time! And how do you do all of that successfully? "MIB 3" did it! Tommy Lee Jones was replaced with Josh Brolin for most of the film and even though this was a risky move, he pulled it off and it's actually not that noticeable. When dealing with Time Travel you need to remember the holly trilogy "Back to The Future" like an ex-girlfriend we hold everyone else up to her standard! And BTTF is no different. The basic principal to follow when making a time travel movie? KEEP IT SIMPLE! Set the rules and follow them, that's it, MIB 3 did it just right. Of course I'm not about to give you any spoilers that the trailer already revealed but let's talk about the premise, "Go back in time to save your friend". The film goes from saving the world like all the others before to a very personal matter, which adds to the edge of your seat excitement. And like a great "Part 3" it brings you back full circle to the first film at the end. Boris was a real threat with secrets of his own. His weapons where original and his threat was high! the movie on the whole has it all, action, adventure, fun, excitement, sci –fi and above all… heart! A movie without heart is just flash and boom and who cares about flash and boom unless you have a reason for it. Oh and Jack "The Parent" says take the kids but have a talk with them about what Special Effects are and that the weird aliens in the movie are not real, there are some things in it that could give a kid nightmares, so far my 4, 8 and 9 year old loved it! Till next time folks this is Jack, signing off!
