Men in Black 3

With such a long gap (a full decade) before this film completed the trilogy, there was going to be a fair amount riding on the third instalment being worthwhile to get everyone back on board. Thankfully, the extra time in planning has meant that the finished article still carries the classic MIB mix of extra-terrestrial silliness and universe ending peril, with the familiar faces and Easter egg references to characters past to keep even the most seasoned fan happy. At it's heart then, MIB3 is a relatively standard time travel storyline, which to be honest, does a reasonable enough job of keeping an audience's attention for the required 106 minutes. That said, there is a niggling feeling that it doesn't really know who it wants to entertain; some moments seem decidedly more grown up than prior instalments (including the 'big bad' being decidedly scarier), yet some elements are so immeasurably childish that I cannot believe that anyone who remembers the previous films would find them entertaining in any way. Fortunately though, 10 year old humour aside, the film does surprisingly well as a time travel story arc, without too many of the major plot holes cropping up that so often plague similar titles. All in all then, MIB3 forms a pretty respectable conclusion to the Men in Black trilogy, but given the box office success, I can't imagine this is the last we'll see of Agents J and K.
