I’ve said before that I enjoyed the first “Men In Black” but the sequels are weak. This one is not a rehash like the second one but it’s not enjoyable like the second one. Despite having a continuation and some good ideas it just doesn’t work.

Will Smith (“Wild Wild West”, “Men In Black”) is Agent J and Tommy Lee Jones (“Volcano”) is Agent K. When Boris The Animal (Jemaine Clement “Despicable Me”) escapes a maximum-security prison on the Moon he goes back in time to 1969 and kills Agent K. In order to prevent an alien invasion Agent J must go back in time and help a young version of Agent K (Josh Brolin “The Goonies”) defeat Boris The Animal and save the Earth from an invasion.

Will Smith is alright at best as Agent J. Tommy Lee Jones was great as Agent K the first time around but in the sequels he’s dull. The two like the chemistry they had the first time just like in the second one. Josh Brolin does a surprisingly good job as the young version of Agent K. Agent J and young Agent K actually have better chemistry than Agent J and present-day Agent K. The villain in the film is just awful. Emma Thompson (“Junior”) is horrendously bad as Agent O.

The special effects are reasonable, the action is okay and there are a few intriguing things about time travelling here but most of the film is let-down. It’s a real shame as I hoped they would have realised that the second one was bad and this one needed to get the series back on track. This movie failed to entertain me and I think most people will dislike it as it is just effect after effect that lacks something that made the first film good.
