Men in Black 3 3D
J (Will Smith) and K (Tommy Lee Jones) don the black suits again for the third instalment of the extra-terrestrial FBI comedy franchise. Meanwhile Josh Brolin (No Country For Old Men) makes first appearance alongside Flight of the Conchords' Jemaine Clement.
When K suddenly disappears, J is informed his partner has been dead for over 20 years. This perplexing paradox isn't just a threat to the missing MiB veteran, but also to humankind. Agent J jumps back in time (literally) and partners up with the younger Agent K (Brolin) to set matters straight.

Reviews & comments
Village Voice
pressDespite such ubiquitous timidity, one can pluck out a few pleasing distractions here.
Variety
pressIn this age of blockbuster bloat, Sonnenfeld's willingness to wrap things up well before the two-hour mark, as well as his eschewal of sledgehammer product placement, count as gestures of considerable mercy.
Total Film
pressIn a summer hardly starved of comic-book properties, this redundant extension of a series that ran out of gas a decade ago doesn't need a neuralyzer to be forgettable.
Time Out
pressYou do sense, though, that the people behind MIB3 (mainly veteran producer Walter F. Parkes and script doctor David Koepp) were smart enough to let the audience grow up a bit, enough to get the Andy Warhol jokes and one brilliantly weird creation, a delicate alien who can see every outcome at once.
Hollywood Reporter
pressEasily erases the second installment's vague but unpleasant memory and -- though we might hope producers will quit while they're ahead -- paves the way for future installments.
Box Office Magazine
pressBetween Smith, Brolin and Stuhlbarg, the film manages to get past its ramshackle story and sometimes surprisingly-shoddy CGI
Loved the movie, the man who played the younger Tommy Lee was a dead ringer, Will Smith was brilliant and it had a fairly good twist. Great 3D too. Only downside: I felt Jemaine single handedly made the story much more cheesy than it needed to be. New Zealander or not, everytime Boris the animal opened his mouth to speak I couldn't help but cringe and roll...
I really enjoyed MIB3. It has everything you need in a Hollywood blockbuster - creepy bad guy (Jemaine Clement was awesomely creepy), a funny and charismatic lead and an entertaining, but ultimately predictable story. It was lots of fun and I recommend it, a great way to waste a couple of hours.
After the horror of MIB 2, I really wasn't expecting much, but they have redeemed themselves and I would say that if you loved the first one you will love this one.
MIB3 is exactly what you'd expect: action, comedy and a couple of charismatic leads. I really enjoyed it.
Get me some chocolate milk. Just as its predecessor MIB flicks, this has action, bit of love, but mostly Tommy Lee, Will Smith & the villian (Boris aka NZ's Jemaine Clement).Yes the catch phrase maybe tired but everything else is pretty much MIB as usual. I found it a little fast paced, for the storyline & maybe tryin to cram too much in rather than focus...
