Men In Black 3 Review

Justin and I saw Men In Black 3 on May 26, 2012. This movie was an intergalactic disaster!! The only one that I actually enjoyed was the first one, which should have been a stand alone movie. The movie opens with Nicole Scherzinger from the Pussycat Dolls-a glimpse into how terrible this will be from the start. We are introduced to a villain named Boris The Animal, who wants revenge on K for shooting his arm off and imprisoning him. He also wants to orchestrate an alien invasion of Earth. A force field type device will help prevent this. Boris is a hilarious villain, and hilarious in this sense is not a good thing. I couldn't take him seriously as a threat, and although he did resemble Macho Man Randy Savage to an extent, he was a poor villain. We enter our intergalactic heroes J and K-played by Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones respectively. Jones seems to be more cranky than usual in this movie, and its as if the first movie never existed, as J and K seem to constantly argue or just never talk to each other. In the first movie, they actually get along pretty well. Zed has passed away and J and K have a void in their job. I just don't understand why they had so many problems getting along. Over the course of three movies, this all should be rectified. J also shouldn't be confused as to some of the obstacles he encounters after years on the job. He's been in the MIB for 12 years according to this movie, so he would have had to seen it all by now. That terrible villain I mentioned Boris apparently travels through time and kills K in 1969. J has to travel back to prevent this event from happening, as well as the alien invasion. This plot sounds good, but it's not orchestrated well. Nobody used a TARDIS like in Dr. Who, which is entertaining and a pretty good show. We come across the young Agent K, played by Josh Brolin, which wasn't as good of a performance as people are making it out to be. Brolin's a good actor, and I am looking forward to seeing him in the upcoming Mickey Cohen film, but sometimes he just falls flat. It was a good casting choice, as he could easily pass for a young Tommy Lee Jones with the look and speech patterns, but otherwise it fell flat. Some of Will Smith's jokes were good like his O and K joke, but alot of the laughs felt forced and I didn't laugh that much. There was a decent cameo by Bill Hader as Andy Warhol, but it didn't really have to do with anything overall. The scene was just there. Then they meet this man that can see into the future named Griffin, who was just flat out annoying. Justin and I cringed when he kept coming on the screen. The finale takes place during the mission to the moon in 1969. The plan is take out Boris-both of them and send the forcefield out of space to create a shell protecting the Earth. Of course, the plan works. There is one scene I did like at the end concerning J, his father, and K, but you can predict this will happen before it does when we're introduced to the character revealed to be his father. It was a good scene to show, as it turned out to be the only gem in this movie. Also, technology seemed to be more state of the art than it was in 1997 when the first movie came out which makes ZERO sense. How can they have extreme jet packs and basically these motorcycles operating on the speed of light, but they can't install a button to cloak the car? All I know is this was an unecessary movie. I give this a 1/5 for a plot that fell flat, terrible jokes (except for a few), a horrendous villain (one of the worst I've ever seen), and basically another sequel that tarnishes the originality and uniqueness of the first movie. Like I said I enjoyed the first movie, but the second and certainly the third never had to be made.
