Men In Black 3 (2012)

   I love the Men In Black movies. Well I mean I love the comics, but Tommy Lee Jones and Will Smith did a much better job then I thought possible of bringing the characters to life in a movie. And then they sorta kinda did it again, making a movie with a very similar plot but still perfectly fine and enjoyable. Id love to tell you that this one is exactly the same and bad and not worth seeing, because it feels like a cheap cash in. However, this movie is actually my favorite in the series, and its a lot better than I thought it would be.


   Set at least a few years after Men In Black 2, Men In Black 3 is about an alien that K (Tommy Lee Jones) put away back in the sixties, when he first joined the Men In Black, using time travel to change history and kill him so that in modern times there would be no K and no way to stop his armies from invading the earth. J (Will Smith) then takes it into his own hands, traveling back to sixties to stop the evil Alien (who was oddly enough played by Jemaine Clement of Flight of the Conchords) from killing K and changing history. When he goes back he finds a young K (Josh Brolin) and they team up to keep the time line the way it was meant to be. There's aliens gun fights and jokes and- you get the idea. 


   If it sounds as similar to the first movie ad the second one did don't worry, your not crazy. It's very similar. But that doesn't detract from the fact the Smith and Brolin (And occasionally Tommy Lee Jones) do a hell of a job keeping it alive. Will Smith has never been the best actor but he's good and he's funny and not too bad in the serious moments. Brolin doing his best impression of Tommy Lee Jones nails it, and really makes it feel like the same character. The action is fun without being dull or over played, the writing is surprisingly good and the story is a nice addition, if not book end, to the series. 


   Sure it gets a little sappy, and at times the humor falls flat but it's not bad if your into this sorta thing.
