Free falling, time travel, interesting linkage, Men in Black 3 is the answer you’ve been waiting for when we wondered what good would come of the MIB now, after MIB 2 was a flop.

Will Smith pitched the idea of MIB 3 to director Barry Sonnenfeld during the shooting of MIB 2. The idea was creating a backstory for Agent K, which would feature Agent J going back in time.

Director Barry Sonnenfeld worked on the idea, and with Steven Spielberg back as Executive Producer, MIB 3 is one movie I will be seeing again.

Josh Brolin plays young Agent K in 1969. He did such a great job you’ll believe you are watching K himself. Shooting was done in New York and began in 2010.

This cliff-hanging, action-packed movie tells a tale of what happens when you arrest, instead of killing, the villain. An alien nicknamed Boris the Animal broke out of his prison (with the help of Nicole Scherzinger) and travels back in time to change history and kill the man that put him in jail.

By doing this, he will achieve the destruction of the earth and the death of Agent K (Tommy Lee Jones).

So J (Will Smith) travels back in time to help Agent K (Josh Brolin) save the world again and also save his life.

My highlight in all MIB movies is the alien characters; I have to applaud the costume designers and the CGI developers on that. Also, look out for the screenplay, as major events are happening on screen at all times, and there was never a dull moment.

I like a movie with good story depth, but here in MIB 3 the makers had one thing in mind — make a better MIB movie than the last one (Men in Black 2 was a total blunder). You want story depth? Go watch Men in Black 1.

This MIB movie does not have the whole faithful present — no Frank the Pug, Jeebs or Zed.

When it comes to a job well done, hey, Will Smith has finally done something worthwhile in years. I Am Legend, Hancock, and Seven Pounds were his last movies before MIB 3, and they all lacked what made Will Smith a name to queue up for in the cinema. Also, nice job by the casting crew — Josh Brolin was the perfect man for young Agent K.

There is talk of an MIB 4, I feel maybe there should just stop here. I guess we’ll see. I urge you to go see this movie.
