Agents J and K are back...in time. J has seen some inexplicable things in his 15 years with the Men in Black, but nothing, not even aliens, perplexes him as much as his wry, reticent partner. But when K's life and the fate of the planet are put at stake, Agent J will have to travel back in time to put things right. J discovers that there are secrets to the universe that K never told him - secrets that will reveal themselves as he teams up with the young Agent K to save his partner, the agency, and the future of humankind.
Mixed-to-moderate reviews greet this belated threequel, with most critics agreeing it outpaces the second film but few claiming it justifies the franchise's return. The time-travel premise and Josh Brolin's performance as young Agent K draw the most consistent praise, while detractors find the whole enterprise hollow and overfamiliar.
“Men in Black 3 arrives in the multiplexes of the world with no particular agenda. Which may be part of the reason that it turns out to be so much fun.”
A. O. Scott·The New York Times
“the franchise is no longer the zenith of blockbusterism, and the gooey effects from Hollywood veteran Rick Baker look overly familiar, but Men in Black 3 remains an amiable comedy with some fondly familiar faces.”
Rafer Guzman·Newsday
“Men in Black 3 is so dull and empty, it's the first movie that has ever made me think 'Thank God this is in 3D.”
