About Men in Black 3

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.

Our take on Men in Black 3

The third outing for the alien-policing agency sends wisecracking Agent J back in time to save his stone-faced partner K, blending buddy comedy with time-travel science fiction under Barry Sonnenfeld's slick, cartoonish direction. Beyond the gadgets and creature effects, the film leans on the odd-couple rapport between the two agents and the mystery of K's buttoned-up past, giving the franchise's usual gags an unexpected streak of warmth. It works best for viewers who enjoyed the earlier films and want more of the same polished, PG-13 spectacle, with a lighter tone that occasionally reaches for genuine feeling. Undemanding, breezy entertainment with a few clever twists on its own mythology.
