Men In Black 3 (2012) - Silly But Fun.

★★★☆☆

Not sure if I saw the previous two. Maybe I did, but to me, MIB series are nothing but a child’s play of dancing with ETs in whatever disguise. The special effects are pretty okay, but the stories are simply not. 10 years later, as we thought MIB should be six feet under, ‘MIB 3’ was finally made possible. This time, it’s got a better story to tell. It looks intriguing enough since it’s got something to do with time-travel or say, history rewriting.

When it comes to time-travel, things are apt to get a little bit complicated. In the very beginning, a monster escapes from a prison on the moon. He’s going back in time to kill Agent K (Tommy Lee Jones) who’d put him to jail and the rest of his kind to extinction. In the end, nonetheless, Agent K blasts him to pieces instead. Meaning all you see in this film, right from the start till minutes before it ends, is not what you think is happening. Tricky huh? There should be paradoxes too, but as long as you take it as a comedy rather than a serious drama or something, you’ll be able to enjoy it for sure.

‘MIB 3’ is not bad after all. Since the special effects give way to the plot, it’d keep you interested in what’s going on there though it turns out to be quite silly in fact. Will Smith’s exhilarating performance is definitely a plus. It’s getting rare to see him play a funny character like that!
