When
you walk into the movie theatre to see "MIB3" you are not going to see a
'deep' film but to be entertained and "MIB3" is entertaining--maybe
mindless, but entertaining. It has been 15 years since the first "Men in
Black" and though it helps to have seen that for a
better understanding about the relationship between agent J (Will Smith)
and agent K (Tommy Lee Jones) it's not a necessity . It seems like every 2 minutes there is a new special effect and most are special along with many being funny.

The story in films like this really
isn't that important but through a little twisting of events agent J
uses a time machine to go back to 1969 and as he is told "...not the
best time for people of color ". The villain, Boris the animal, (Jemaine Clement), who had his arm shot off many years before by agent K i s going back in time to change that course of history by killing the agent while
agent J travels back in time to stop the young agent K (Josh Brolin)
from shooting Boris's arm off and, of course, to stop the latter from
blowing up the world, I think!

Over
the 15 years Tommy Lee Jones doesn't look a day older while Will Smith,
going from 29 to 44, still looks good but older. They both do a good
job with their characters. Jemaine Clement  hams it up as he should,
especially since he has little ugly creatures coming out of all parts of
his body. Josh Brolin should be a top star now, especially after his
performances in "Milk", "American Gangster", "W" and "No Country For Old
Men" that he really has shined in, and I think one more role will put
him over the top. As a young Tommy Lee Jones he does a fantastic job,
not imitating him, but being a young Tommy Lee Jones through voice,
movements and attitudes.

Emma
Thompson, as agent O, has a laugh out loud 1 minute bit that is a far
cry from any other character she has played. She did remind me of Julie
Andrews every time she was on screen. Her younger version is a perky
Alice Eve and Michael Stuhlbarg, as Griffin, who can see what and/or
will happen in the future and can bring moments like the Mets winning
the championship to the present, is a hoot. Bill Hader has a cameo shot
as Andy Warhol.

We are
in 1969, when the first moon landing takes place, and all you can do is
put aside any logic on what's happening in the movie and enjoy the place
and time.

"Men In Black 3" is one of those movies that you will enjoy, and forget as you walk out of the movie house.
