Long after MIB2 (which was kinda crappy) agent K and J returns to kick some extra-terrestrial arse. Surprisingly the film turns out pretty decent (after all those horrible trailers) but sadly, the chemistry between K and J is mostly gone (coincidentally, we also don't see much of Tommy Lee Jones).
The plot centres on J’s journeying back to the past to prevent an alien assassinate a young K and alters the course of history. I found the main villain to be a little too cartoonish and over the top, but then again, so was the previous villains (main difference? I was a kid when I saw the first two) so Boris the Animal is a valid reason of a villain.
I found The first half of the film with Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones to be a bit boring. As I mentioned above, the chemistry between Smith and Jones is surprisingly missing in most of the frames when they are together, as if K and J are no longer partners (considering how much of a J show this film is, maybe that’s intentional) Josh Brolin managed to replicate Lee Jones in a rather nice way whilst also giving K a more easy going, and well youthful personality.
Emma Thompson is very underused a pity considering her acting calibre . The ending of the film is surprisingly strong and Michael Stuhlbarg’s Griffin character is pretty intriguing (though not really involving just like the rest of the cast). In the end, a huge improvement over MIB2 but to be honest, not really necessary to have been made in the first place.
2.5/5
