Is it just me that thought Jermaine Clement was phenomenal as the villain? He was one of the best things about this movie. :D
Men in Black III is different than the other two films before it. I thought it was not as good as the first film, but much better than the second one. The 3rd film in the franchise is a little darker than its predecessors which was alright, but was missing that humor from the first film. It kept me entertained throughout the film, but at the same time I was hoping for more to happen like more action scenes which Men in Black III lacked in a little.
God dammit...I got too ripped can't even remember what I was gonna say
Best in the series. I liked it better than the first one and I thought that would be impossible.
I really liked this one, but the ending was so sad. I almost cried :3
great movie, great villain, great take on the MIB formula. Better then the second one, close to the first one.
Men In Black 3 took a long time to be made and even though the style is not a return to the beginnings, MIB 3 still has some spark from previous versions. To make a clear understanding in some of my comments, I first need to explain how I see this franchise from my own point of view. Men In Black for me has never been a film to take seriously, as MIB focus itself on been a comedy/entertainment film for teenagers and grown ups. MIB3 continues that demographic and adds a total new adventure to the characters of WIll Smith and Tommy Lee. Now some of the comments I have read, expect a lot from a franchise that can't really exceed beyond it's purpose. Now MIB 3 had some very silly comedy at times no doubt but at the end of the day the story is fresh and Will Smith charisma still works. The chemistry between Tommy Lee and Will and even Josh and Will works very smoothly. Not the best film of the franchise, but definately up there with the first film. MIB 3 is definately an improvement over a watchable but not entertaining sequel MIB 2. I would definately recommend this film...
Much better than MIB2, not as good as the original. MX23 put it nicely, but it still needs to be said... many of the criticisms and comparisons being made with regards to this film and the original are coming from people who I think hold the original film much higher than it really deserves to be held.
"Men in Black 3" marks a triumphant return to the franchise, coming 15 years after the original and 10 years after the sequel.
Surprisingly, it surpasses the charm of the first installment.
The film centers around the dynamic duo of veteran Agent K (Tommy Lee Jones) and the enthusiastic recruit Agent J (Will Smith), both overseen by the stern Agent O (Emma Thompson). However, the plot takes a thrilling turn with the escape of the hideously ugly alien Boris the Animal (Jemaine Clement) from a maximum security lunar prison.Boris, the sole survivor of his kind, nurses a grudge against Agent K for having shot off one of his arms. His diabolical plan involves time travel to eliminate Agent K before this incident occurs, resulting in a parallel existence of the young and old K, making the veteran and the rookie contemporaries.
The casting of Josh Brolin as Young Agent K is nothing short of brilliance. His uncanny resemblance to a young Tommy Lee Jones and his spot-on emulation of his voice are so convincing that you might believe Jones dubbed his own lines. While the film is not flawless, with its synthetic period recreation and stock 1960s caricatures, it still retains the enjoyable and flexible nature of the Men in Black universe.In summary, "Men in Black 3" signifies a strong comeback for Will Smith, delivering not only ample laughs but also solid action.
It's a thrilling action-adventure flick that guarantees non-stop enjoyment.
The Men in Black franchise has managed to pull off something quite rare in Hollywood, a successful trilogy. Men in Black III is a fantastic addition to the series, and the plot is a fresh take that still integrates well with the previous films. Josh Brolin's portrayal of a young K is nothing short of excellent, and he does a fantastic job of capturing the essence of the character. The film's storyline takes us on a journey that's both entertaining and emotional, and it's a great way to wrap up the trilogy.
Josh Brolin definitely makes this movie. He definitely nails the character. Between the mannerisms and the speech pattern, it's hard the believe it isn't a young Tommy Lee Jones.
I remember why I was disappointed with this film. It breaks the mold of the first two films. The style, the dialogue, the tone... it's all wrong.
"Do you know the most destructive force in the universe? Regret"
Not as good as the first but way better than the 2nd. It surprisingly has some emotional moments that adds some depth to the film while still hitting those funny moments and fun creature design. I wish Will Smith would go back to science fiction!
Very much enjoyed this movie. Bit more of a story than the second movie with some nice character development.
Men In Black 3 repackages the same old bag of tricks, yet still manages to be an entertaining and enjoyable sci-fi adventure. In this installment, Agent J must travel back in time to 1969 in order to stop a renegade alien from killing Agent K. Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones return, and are joined by Josh Brolin and Emma Thompson. The special effects are pretty good, but the alien designs are a little too campy. However, the action scenes are energetic and fun. Fairly tame and run-of-the-mill, Men In Black 3 plays it save, delivering an average time-travel adventure that has some good laughs but doesn’t try for much more.
The pieces are there, and they're moving in the right ways, but this long-awaited revival just doesn't feel right. That's partially due to a crushing lack of Tommy Lee Jones, who's relegated to a mere cameo appearance, but more thoroughly to a lack of conviction and casual, happenstance tone. It's okay for a comedy to be this thoroughly jokey and loose, but the formula that worked for this franchise in the past was a tight balance of those lighter moments with sharp, dramatic action sets. MIB3 may go through those motions, but the emotional punch that its predecessor had delivered so easily is almost completely absent here.
Though the vast majority of the film is set in the free-love sixties, the atmosphere also remains very modern, like attending a themed costume party where the host didn't get the memo. Excepting a few very easy sight gags and the eyeball-rolling location of the film's grand climax, this just doesn't seem to make much effort to ground itself in the era. Josh Brolin works an uncanny Jones impression during these scenes, but that act falls strangely flat when the man himself was on-screen only moments before, and in this case there's really no substitute for the real thing. Quirky and fun, but terribly thin and uncertain... worth watching for the effects and frequent nods to its genre-mates, but it's really no better than the underwhelming Men in Black II.
Josh Brolin does a good Tommy Lee Jones. Still not as good as the original.
DVD has a music video.
it was pretty good. i liked the end. griff was annoying though, like shut ur fuck
Was it better than the 1997original? It was as good, without the novelty value obviously. Was it as good as the MIB2? I would say that it surpassed the second.
After seeing it again after a couple of years. I actually really loved it. The villain was a corny. The movie making the relationship between J and K stronger is what works the most. Josh Brolin is great fun as a younger K as well.
Michael Sturlbarg was a nice addition as well as Griffin who is a special being who knows what will happen before it does. Men in Black is often even better than the first. With a stronger villain it would have been better in fact.
Third in the blockbuster MiB series and by far the best, Josh Brolin (Old Boy, No Couuntry for Old Men) is brilliant portraying the younger Agent K played by still great Tommy Lee Jones. A welcome return to the series after the 10 year break since MiB 2 way back in 2002. Will Smith once again shines as Agent J, here's hoping a MiB 4 is on the cards. Until then I'll enjoy reliving the MiB animated series and get my Black Suits on. Great entertainment. Until next time Barry Sonnenfeld (seen next year directing the French comedy Nine Lives).
The idea of time travel is a good one and should have produced a much better film but the idea and interesting link between Agents J And K can't hide how mediocre this film is. Josh Brolin does a good mimic of Tommy Lee Jones and Will Smith does a damn good job of creating some humour out of a largely unfunny script but this is still largely forgettable.
I liked it, was worth the wait.
Here come the men in black galaxy defenders
MX23 has said it perfectly.
unfortunately i have to agree with all the comments the movie was weak. i'm the same as m1mi.dan0s i thought the ending was cool but thats about it. to me it felt like nothing really happened in the movie.
Oh, and Will Smith is way too old for his "Fresh Prince of Bel Air"-act that he used to pull off in every movie (and used to get away with, because in the 90s it was funny, fresh and cool)
Honestly, I don't understand why it's getting such high ratings. The movie is long and boring and definitely doesn't live up the classic MIB-action. The only reason why I gave it a 'Fair' is because the ending is kind of nice. Cliché, but nice.
even worst than the second one... avoid if you liked the first one only.
I haven't watched it in 3D. The movie was okay - nothing new, but defiantly the worst of all Men in Black movies.
Confirmed. Avoid this flick. Nothing new.
Watched it in 3D, but it adds nothing to the experience imho. Actually quite boring and predictable.
A nice watch on netflix or DVD but not movie theatre worthy.
super boring movie to be honest, dont know why people speak so big about this movie.... same old humor which is getting boring and the storyline dont fit with the previous movies... just created to make money of the MIB machinery due the lack of new ideas

Wow. That was not what i expected: The movie was actually much MUCH better than the second one and on one Level with the first one.
Especially Josh Brolin as the "Young K" the perfect casted K.
Overall a good MIB. 7/10
