Men in Black 3

MIB3 is entertaining but forgettable, even without a neuralizer!

Let's give Smith, Jones and Sonnefeld a pass for going back to the well one too many times. But if they go for a MIB4, the pity party is over.

While it's a little thrown together, "Men in Black 3" seems focused on recapturing not just the style but also the soul of the original.

The script was enough of a mess to stop the shooting for high-priced rewrites, but you know what they say about washing garbage.

The third time is supposed to be the charm, right?

The movie represents at least a partial return to form--not as inventive as the first, but surely better than the recycled materials that made up the second.

Although not entirely successful in terms of restoring interest in the franchise or justifying yet another sequel after this one, it’s a diverting experience and, at best, better than the 2002 sequel.

There’s just not enough substance or humor.

The film works, offering viewers a refreshing outing in the MiB universe. If this is the last journey for the men in the black suits, then this is a fitting farewell.

Missed opportunities abound, especially considering the potential of the time period, the historic events, and the two agents meeting again for the first time.
