Yes, this film was totally and completely unnecessary and yes, this film is also a fun addition to the Men In Black cannon. Will Smith returns as Agent J who wakes up one morning to find that Agent K is gone. K was originally played by Tommy Lee Jones who has a brief appearance here as him. However, Josh Brolin plays K here and has him down to a science. It was almost as if I was watching Jones in Rolling Thunder or Eliza's Horoscope again.
Men In Black 3 also features some standout performances. Brolin is a good example of this while Michael Stuhlbarg absolutely steals every scene he is in as Griffin-an alien disguised as a human who has the uncanny power of telling the future. As well, Jermaine Clement plays Boris The Animal-the main villain of the film. Boris is an alien who escapes from jail and..well..you'll have more fun if you don't know the rest.
There are some stunning uses of 3D in the film. 3D is a great addition to a film when used properly, and even though the stunning uses of 3D are far between each other...the 3D is always a plus during the film. One of the best uses of 3D in this film is during the time jump scene. This is when J has to jump off a really high building in order to travel back in time. While 3D can be used for much more besides making stuff jump out of the screen, such as making the film more colorful or more beautiful...the time jump scene is the perfect stuff popping out at you moment.
Men In Black 3 could have easily been very recyclable. Ten years since the second one..this could have just felt like a cash grab. However, the film is both funny and touching. Yes..I said touching. Don't believe me? Well...see the film until the end and tell me you didn't get choked up like I did at that final scene.
(4 out of 5 Stars, The film is rated PG-13 for sci-fi action violence and brief suggestive content)
