Men in Black Movies II

Before we start, the reason I haven't made a post in a while is because I haven't seen any new movies lately. But I just got back from...

Men in Black 3:
Wow, this was great. Okay, not as good as the first film or The Avengers, but this is far better than films like MIB II or Battleship. The plot follows the escape of the evil "Boris the Animal" from a prison on the moon, and his efforts to get revenge of his nemesis, Agent Kay. Agent Jay must go back in time after Boris alters history by time-traveling, and killing Agent Kay in the past. Jay must team up with the young Agent Kay to prevent Boris from killing him. The cast if full of good characters, with Will Smith doing a great job, and Tommy Lee Jones being just as stoic as ever. Josh Brolin does a good job as the stern, young Kay, and Jemaine Clement is surprisingly threatening as monstrous alien Boris. (Not as threatening as the Edgar bug in the first film, but way better than the villain from the second.) Jemaine is unrecognizable under the heavy makeup. Michael Stuhlberg and Emma Thompson are good in supporting roles as a telepathic alien and Agent O, Kay's love interest. Bill Hader of Saturday Night Live and Superbad, makes a funny cameo as Andy Warhol, who is really an undercover MIB agent. The special effects are fantastic, with original alien designs, and good CGI. And finally, they credit the comics for being published by Malibu, not Marvel. With good writing, effects, and satisfactory acting, Men in Black 3 is a must-see film this summer, and there is a weird sort-of twist ending.

Hopefully, next time I'll be reviewing Abraham Lincoln:Vampire Hunter or Prometheus.
