Men in Black 3 - (2012) One of Agent K's (Tommie Lee Jones) old enemies breaks out of prison and time travels to the past to get revenge by killing K before the arrest takes place. Agent J (Will Smith) follows the trail and works with the younger Agent K (Josh Brolin) to defeat the bad guy.
It's hard to know where to even begin with this one. So let's just be brief. This movie is easily the worst of the three MiB movies. It lacks the charm and sense of humor of the original. Brolin does a nice job of impersonating Jone's verbal delivery. In the end neither he nor Jones himself are particularly interesting viewing. The script forgoes any attempt at being original or clever and settles for juvenile visual gags. They rely too heavily on special effects and then add a silly ending. Michael Stahlbarg as the alien named Griffin is the only interesting part of the movie.
A really, really sad sequel. Disappointing in almost every respect. Agent J comes off as whiny and needy. The bravado of the previous movies just comes off as self centered whimpering. Tommie Lee Jones seems to just walk through the role. Emma Thompson is wasted in the role as the new head of MIB Agent O because there's just nothing there.
I can understand why Will Smith has no interest in MIB 4. Neither do I.
Rating - * Forget It
