Men in Black 3: movie review
After the dismal 鈥�Men in Black 2,鈥� I was not in the mood for 鈥�Men in Black 3,鈥� also directed by Barry Sonnenfeld. It turns out to be reasonably entertaining, though not enough to make me crave 鈥淢en in Black 4.鈥�
Will Smith鈥檚 Agent J goes back in time, to 1969, to eradicate Boris the Animal (Jemaine Clement) and thereby save the life of his partner, Agent K (Tommy Lee Jones), in the present day. Or something like that. Agent K is played in the 1969 scenes by Josh Brolin, who does a bang-up impression of Jones鈥檚 Texas deadpan delivery.
In the new role of Agent O, Emma Thompson, with her much crisper delivery, makes a decorous appearance, and Michael Stuhlbarg, as a goony visionary, has some endearing antic moments. The aliens are as gloppy and gross as ever. I especially liked the joke about Andy Warhol being an alien 鈥� except didn鈥檛 we know that already? Grade: B (Rated PG-13 for sci-fi action violence, and brief suggestive content.)
