The third installment of Men In Black takes place fourteen years after the first, although not really looking forward to a sequel, I must say i had a lot of fun watching this. The third film does justice to the first although the concept is a whole lot different. With a time-traveling plot the story focuses heavily on the wry but sophisticated Agent K (Tommy Lee-Jones and the street-wise Agent J (Will Smith) as they hunt down aliens living on earth (or New York City)
Boris the animal (Jemaine Clement) the stories main villain has just escaped from a maximum security prison in the moon. A one armed ogre looking thing, with a palm that you wouldnt want to be near, it’s soon apparent that he’s looking for Agent K. The man who shot off his arm. Agent J then has to travel back in time to stop this.
With a budget well over two hundred million, I'm glad that it didn't go to waist, (as most sequels nowadays splurge hundreds of millions on a film that are 90% worse than the original) the sets are nice and the casting money well spent but kudos to the special effects team who were there to bring a different element altogether. even scarier villains, long-tongued waitresses and a time travel that’ll have your head spinning if 3D is your thing.
The addition of Josh Brolin in the this third film is a genius of casting, he plays the young agent K down to a T, the voice, the look and even the walk. Strong supporting cast of the film adds to the exciting experience altogether, Agent Oh, played by the wonderful Emma Thompson and the all-seeing Griffin portrayed on screen by the funny Michael Stuhlberg.

Although a slightly predictable film, the ending left me with something. its a nice touch for a franchise that maybe has seen its end.

Good review Mohammed. Had a lot of fun with this flick, but definitely wasn't as good as the first. Still, a lot better than the second and that's all that matters.
