Men in Black III Review

In case you didn't know; Men in Black is a Science Fiction / Comedy series about a secret government agency who must keep the secret that aliens exist hidden from the earths humans. The film is based off the Marvel Comic of the same name. The films are directed by Barry Sonnifeld (The Addams Family) and produced by Steven Spielberg (Jaws). When news was confirmed that a third Men in Black film was in production, lots of people were excited and skeptical mainly because of the fact that it has been 10 years since Men in Black II came out. So the question is, Can this film live up to the legacy that has been left behind by the past 2 films? Well, I'm proud to announce that it does indeed continue the Men in Black Legacy.

After a violent alien escapes an intergalactic prison and starts an Alien Invasion. Agent J finds out that his partner, Agent K has been involved in a Time Travel assassination. So in order to save his partner and the world, J time jumps to 1969 where he must team up with a younger version of K and an alien called Griffin to take down both versions of the violent alien known as Boris and stop the end of the world but J also finds out that if he doesn't complete his task beore times up; He will be stuck in 1969 for the rest of his life.

Once again, Men in Black 3 doesn't fail to deliver the fun that many have come to expect from the Men in Black series and the film also holds the current record of the most expensive film ever made. The special effects in the film are fantastic and include a futuristic motorbike and the time jump sequence and the make up for the Aliens from Rick Baker (Norbit) is phenomenal. The film has an all star cast that includes Will Smith (I Am Legend), Tommy Lee Jones (Captain America), Josh Brolin (Jonah Hex), Emma Thompson (Nanny McPhee) and Jermaine Clement (Rio). The film also features a song by Will Smith and Pitbull. All in all, Men in Black 3 definitley proves that this franchise is indeed not dying down and I can personally say that I welcome Men in Black 4 with open arms. Lets just hope that it doesn't take another 10 years.*****
