Episode 13: MEN IN BLACK III- Movie Review

                                               Isn't it weird how Tommy Lee Jones and Will Smith look like they haven't aged a day since like the first Men In Black. I'm guessing that it is a side effect from time traveling.
                                         
                                  Men In Black III is directed by Barry Sonnefeld and stars Will Smith, Josh Brolin, Tommy Lee Jones, Jemaine Clement, Emma Thompson, and Alice Eve. It has been about one decade since Men In Black II came out and it has been 3 years or so since Will Smith has been in a movie. In this movie, an alien of 2012 has escaped from jail and travels back in time to kill his jailer, Agent K.  Now, Agent J must travel back in time to 1969 to stop Agent K from being killed. While this event is happening, Agent J and young Agent K have to stop an alien invasion. Now, I had mixed thoughts going into Men In Black III because of  I had heard that there were big script problems. People were writing dialouge minutes before Will Smith and Josh Brolin came on set. I thought that Men In Black III was amazing, I had so much fun with this movie. The humor in this movie was also hysterical at some points such as the bowling scene. Only one or two jokes to me fell flat to me. In my opinion, this movie was a fun movie and it suprised me of how good it was. Coming from all of the trailers, clips, and television commercials, I was expecting a fun science fiction movie. It turned out that this movie was just awesome. I had a ton of fun with Men In Black III just like I had with the first one. This film is able to recapture the same kind of fun that Men In Black I did.
                               One of the things that I had a problem with in the film was the amount of time Tommy Lee Jones was given. The guy was only in three or four scenes. That is a problem because I never felt the chemistry from the first two movies between them even though part of the movie revolves around the two agents having relationship issues. However, Josh Brolin was able to create the same kind of chemistry as young Agent K. Josh Brolin does a crazy good Tommy Lee Jones impression that it feels like Tommy Lee Jones drank a magic potion or something and became like thirty years younger. Another problem that I had with the film is that there was a relationship between Josh Brolin and Alice Eve's characters that I wish was more developed. There was also a character Griffin that could see every possible outcome of every possible situation. Sometimes he got on my nerves and sometimes he was kind of cool.

                             
                                 One thing that I did like though was the ending. It was not only kind of emotional but it answers some questions No spoilers but that ending was the perfect way to wrap up the trilogy. As much as I would like to see a Men In Black 4, it would be smart not to make another one. If you are looking for a fun summer blockbuster, you will enjoy this movie. If you are a Men In Black fan like me, you will probably love this movie. I am going to give Men In Black III an 8/10. It is a fun science fiction blockbuster and is the second best movie of the year so far in my opinion.
