I love the first MIB film and seen it numerous times, second film had its moments but was barely memorable for me.
Men In Black 3 is great fun where the story keeps getting interesting and good amount of focus is given to the characters, along with all the cool action and many laugh out moments.
I want to discuss some of the time travel elements, but will wait until more members have seen the film.
I can't wait to see the Neuralizer. I wonder where the Toys R Us version fits in and how close it is to the screen version.
the movie was fantastic, a true sequel!
the toy nuero doesn't compare to the film at all. maybe in shape but the film version is thinner and sleeker on screen. reminded me of a really expensive tv remote with a mirror like finish.
Great Movie everybody I saw it with loved it!!

Cool!....and thank you. I can' wait to see the movie. I picked up the other toy neuro from the first films at Universal Studios some years ago. The new toy uses the same sound effect as the old toy. Even though the old toy is not close in scale when you pop it up everyone knows what it is.
Liked the film, didn't love. Kind of silly in spots.
The new neuro is FLAT right? Rectangular cross section. I kind of liked it actually.
Did not like how inexplicably low-tech the 1969 neuro and cell phone were... this is supposed to be ALIEN technology, right... ?

I wouldn't say that. The first one really has that charm of discovering all things in the MIB universe for the first time, like J the audience is experiencing all these cool surprises at the same time. But this movie has its own mystery elements that I really enjoyed.Rusty85 said:
Yeah I kinda felt the same way. But could be argued that it was alien tech which was still progressing but still way ahead of Earth tech.phase pistol said:

Gotta say the makeup and alien creature effects were also a real treat to watch. Loved some of the new weapons and gadgets, my only complain would be some of them didn't get enough screen time. I wanted to see more of the Shotgun.
Just got back from it. Theatre was dead, that was a bummer.
Overall I liked it. So glad it wasn't as obviously rehashing the first movie's plot as the second one. John Brolin was excellent. Wish Frank and Jeebes had been in it, and a '69 Zed but that's not a huge deal not having them in it. The bit at the end in '69, had something in my eye I think.
Honestly I didn't have a problem with the large older tech. I always took it to be reverse-engineered alien crap, so miniaturization would have taken time. That and who's to say that Aliens like small crap. Awesome to see the older version of the neuralyzer used in the '69 version, that brought a grin to my face.
Nothing is as good as the first.
I liked it better than 2

I thought it was okay, definately better than the second. Just wish they'd lose some of the cheesy unbelievable action scenes. Overall entertaining though.
i loved this guy
also, i missed the beginning of the film, i walked in at the lunar max scene. Can someone use a spoiler tag and fill me in on what i missed. i'm assuming it was the beginning bookend of the ending... pie, jay-z ... J's memories of something?
Pretty sure that was the beginning of the movie.
Yep, Lunar Max was the beginning. At most you missed some male gaze shots of the disposable chick.
Loved the movie, it was MUCH better than MIB2. The only problem I had with the movie were the guards in the Lunar Max. Isn't there a bit of an IQ requirement for MIB personnel? Why were the Lunar Max guys just so stupid?
They were distracted by the sexy. I can't imagine they'd send their best and brightest to be prison guards on the moon either.
Sure, they aren't full field agents, only prison guards, but really? Flash some **** and ass and they become insipid idiots? And MIB really seemed to skimp on their scanning technology with that hand held thing that only detected a plate and a cake. I think the TSA could have done better than these MIB guards did, and that's pretty sad. The exact method of the escape occurring could have been tweaked to be more believable. Seemed like a bad idea to store a lot of weapons so deep into the cell block too. It's just a shame they didn't polish the escape better because it is very weak opening followed by a strong movie.
saw it today and liked it.
Thought the same as Kerr Avon about the weapons in the cellblock.
Surprised I didn't hate this one. It falls nicely in between MiB and MIIB.
Much more character in this one which definitely saved it.
Sitting at the drive in theater right as I type this, waiting for the movie to start. They have a double feature tonight.. MIB 3 & Dark Shadows.
Not bad at $4.00 for an adult, that is only $2.00 to see each film
Kind of like vanilla ice cream for me. Not as good as the first but waaaay better than the second, and Brolin did a superb TLJ. He really nailed it.
Man that's a BARGAIN!!!

Most weekend nights they play three in a row. The first and second then replay the first again, all for a cost if $4.00. But some weekends they do three different films all in a row. Those nights are great but you get out of there at around 3:00 am.
Anyone who lives in Tampa or Lakeland FL should check it out

The movie was mediocre at best for me. Josh Brolin's performance was fantastic. His performance was probably the best thing about this film. A few laughable scenes here and there. Bill Hader has a great cameo. Other than that. Everything just felt meh.
I would recommend waiting for DVD. Not worth the 13.50.
Plus kinda felt disappointed not seeing Jeebs in the film.
I miss having a Drive-Inn in Denver.Moviefreak said:
Still, it looks like I need to go see MIB today!
