Men In Black 3 (2012)


MEN IN BLACK 3  (2012)  
¢ ¢ ¢
    D: Barry Sonnenfeld
    Will Smith, Josh Brolin, Tommy Lee Jones, Alice Eve,

The guys in the black suits are back, with Agent J (Will Smith) going back in time to 1969 to save the world, as well as the life of his surly partner, Agent K (Tommy Lee Jones). Josh Brolin plays the younger Agent K, and it's brilliant casting, while the premise allows for a revelation at the end that opens a whole new window on the relationship between the two agents. The rest is the usual summertime blast of special effects, with a new icky creature being blown to pieces every so often to hold the attention of viewers who really aren't interested in anything else. My favorite: the giant mutant fish thing that tries to devour Agent J.
