Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones return
alongside Josh Brolin.
Sadly the film so far has not been a commercial success. At
the British box office as it has grossed only £2 million.
The first film managed on its opening weekend back in August
1997 to make 7.0 7 million and the sequel released in 2002 earned £6.19
million.
But my own conclusion is that the final instalment of the trilogy
brings the franchise to a satisfying conclusion.
This time the film sees agent J time travel back to 1969 – in
order to protect his partner agent K and prevent an alien invasion.
Josh Brolin as a younger K delivers an impressive performance
and some of the special effects involved are remarkable. J's jump off the
Chrysler building is a highlight.
Jermaine Clement plays Boris “The Animal” and is an excellent
nemesis in the film, as he tries to gain revenge on K for sending him to prison
for the last 40 years.
Men
in Black 3 stays true to its predecessors with its combination of humour and
action.
Also
the film seeks to make an emotional connection with its audience as the
relationship between J and K is finally answered.
Throughout
the film – we are forewarned of some horrible event that leads to K becoming
cold and withdrawn.
The
climax of the film shows Jays father being killed by Boris after he saves agent
K.
Because
of this K becomes effectively a surrogate father to J which answers why he
recruited him to be in the Men in Black 15 years ago.
Overall
I would recommend this film to fans of the franchise as it leads to a
satisfying close and it reminds the audience why they loved the first film so
much.
