Men In Black 3

In my ever so humble opinion Men in Black 3 is one of those series that each of the films is a good as the last. They all bring something unique to the universe is live in. In this episode, an intergalactic bad guy escapes prison then travels back in time to kill K, the agent to imprisoned him, and J must go back in time to stop him.

Somehow the Men in Black franchise continues to get an excellent cast for their movies. As always Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones are J and old K. They are they typical odd couple that make a great team. They have really good chemistry together, and Will is funny as always. To play Young K they have brought in Josh Brolin who is a spot on Tommy Lee Jones impersonator.  The chemistry tat Tommy and Will have carries over to Josh. All the interactions and mannerisms that we love about the characters are brought out once again. One of my favorite new character actors is Jemaine Clement, he is Boris the Animal. He brings this weird creepy wackiness to the character that is needs, He is really starting to grow in me. Emma Thompson, Alice Eve, and Bill Hader all poke their heads in and get a little face time. Ijust with Rip Torn would have still been involved

The special effects and make up have been good through the series. And this is no exception. Boris is an animal with his teeth, eyes, and hair. They do an excellent job with of of the back ground aliens. Unique and interesting. And the 3D effects (mostly in the beginning mind you) were also very good. Plenty of glass and bursting aliens were all up in your face. Boris has this little barb shooting alien that lives in his hand that is both gross looking and awesome. And in IMAX when they time jump. It really trips you out because the size really makes you feel like you are taking the leap with him.

This is another action packed fun trip with our brothers in Black.  It even has a couple meaningful bits that people who live the series will really enjoy. Men in Black 3 is a welcome adition to the series that brings back what those of who like the series enjoy.
