Movie Review: ‘Men in Black 3’

Director: Barry Sonnenfeld Cast: Will Smith, Tommy Lee Jones, Josh Brolin Rating: PG-13
If this acting thing doesn’t work out for Josh Brolin, he does have a future as a Tommy Lee Jones impersonator. He’s that good.
But despite a good bad guy, some cool creatures and Brolin, the movie just doesn’t have the charm or the energy of the first two movies. It is reminiscent of another effects-laden Will Smith movie — “Wild Wild West.”
The most enjoyable moments include Smith literally hurtling through time, the idea that Mick Jagger is an alien sent to the planet to breed with Earth women and the battle in the Chinese restaurant. All cool moments, but the magic of the first film is gone — even the fun stuff in this film seems to evaporate as soon the next scene starts.
