Whilst the opening prison escape reminds you of why the original Men in Black was fun, once we head to earth to reconnect with our heroes, the goofiness starts in earnest. Whilst its time travel premise seems interesting on paper, there is the underlying question that, in arriving ten years since part 2 and a full fifteen years since part 1, is there any interest in another Men in Black film? The studio certainly have faith, with its big promotional campaign and prime summer release date but, unless the film can muscle some coherence that was all but absent in the sequel, MIB 3 is already dead in the water. It’s up to Agent J (Smith), to travel back in time to stop Boris, save K and protect the world.

However, rather than killing him outright, Boris opts to jump back to 1969 in order to kill Agent K at the pivotal moment of their confrontation, altering history and ensuring that earth is denied a revolutionary defense system, making our planet susceptible to alien hostilities in the future. Are they successful? Yes and no.Īn alien, Boris the Animal ( Jemaine Clement of Flight of the Concords), a dude with a serious vendetta against Agent K (Jones), has escaped from Lunar Max prison with the sole purpose of revenge.

But, to everyone’s surprise (and confusion), the guys in black Armani suits are still present in the guise of Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones, who, now showing their age, have attempted to bring the series full circle and to atone for the cluster fuck that was Men in Black II (2002). With the re-jig of Spider-Man coming to theaters ten years after the original Toby Maguire vehicle, you’d expect, with that kind of time frame, for the Men in Black franchise to now be in reboot territory.
