Film: Men in Black 3

Not much blogging has happen this week, but hopefully I can get back on track, starting with Men in Black 3.  I saw this film today, after it being released over a month ago, but it doesn't matter!

It continues the main story of Agents J and K battling aliens on a daily basis, but the story of this film is about Boris the Animal escaping from a moon prison and travelling back in time to kill Agent K, who put him there in the first place, it's up to J and young K (played brilliantly by Josh Brolin) to stop Boris from destroying present-day Earth.

I really like the Men in Black films, both of them, but when I heard there was time travel involved in this, I was sceptical, it felt a bit cheap and pointless, but watching the film today changed my opinion, it was handled well and was thought out, you ocassionally get loopholes in any time-travel related film/TV show.  I personally wanted to see this film for Will Smith, he's one of my favourite actors and he hasn't been in a film for 4 years, so I was excited to hear he was returning to the big screen to play Agent J, arguably his most iconic film role.  Smith didn't fail to disappoint, it was simply his film as we didn't see much of Tommy Lee Jones, who is also great, and most characters only appeared for at least 45 minutes of the film.

There were a few big names in the film, Jermaine Clement (Flight of the Conchords) played Boris, Emma Thompson played Agent O, the new head of Men In Black, Alice Eve played young Agent O and Nicole Scherzinger played Boris's lover, only for 5 minutes, won't tell you why if you want to see the film.

Something that I noticed in the film was Agent J talking about his father, when I hear a character Will Smith is playing talking about his father, I instantly get a Fresh Prince flashback to that emotional ending when Will's "Dad" leaves him again, I was expecting this again, but I will also withhold this information in case you want to watch the film.

Overall, this film is surprisingly enjoyable, much better than MIB2 and a lot more fun.  Expect a lot of 60's stereotyping, freaky looking aliens and a secret Andy Warhol didn't want you to know.  If you don't like this film, prepare for the neuralizer!
