Go see them movies: Men in Black 3

This is coming from someone who has not seen either one of the prequels of the movie. Don’t roll your eyes, not everyone finds hideous aliens and 2 men in black appealing.
Well I went to watch the movie with absolutely zero expectations, just because I promised a friend and couldn’t really back out. He was quite excited about it. As for me I thought well I could catch up on some much needed sleep meanwhile.
However, it was not to be. *Sighs* The movie opened to the escape of an especially hideous and evil alien ‘Boris the Animal’ from the LunarMax prison on moon. Borris was arrested by agent K way back in 1969 after shooting off one of his arms.  I was hooked from there on.
After escaping Borris travels back in time to kill agent K before he takes his arm. Realizing what has happened K follows Borris back in time. Meanwhile, all trace of K disappears. No one except agent J can remember K. With the help of the new chief agent O, agent J time jumps to stop Borris and save K’s life. Quite melodramatic, but I guess that’s what held the interest for the rest of the movie.
What follows is an amusive tale of chase and run where ultimately like all happy movies nobody dies and good prevails.
What’s remarkable though is the fact that the director Barry Sonnenfeld manages to hold the interest of the viewers even through a seemingly ordinary plot. The plot is finely meshed together, the whole time travel thing comes off quite clean and there is no confusion in the scenes.
The cast supports the story perfectly. Will Smith true to his style gets jiggy with it. He is easily the hero of the film, the most human of them all. He brings a sort of freshness to the whole story. Older Tommy Lee Jones is well, there. But the surprise element was the younger agent K. Josh Brolin who looks dashing and crisp in his black suit. One character that I found particularly endearing was that of the Griffin – the future seeing alien. Michael Stuhlbarg plays the part beautifully with his cute smile and big innocent eyes.
And if this doesn’t impress you, they got Lady Gaga to finally confess her true identity to the world. She plays an alien and you can spot her for almost about a whole 2 seconds on screen. So much for screen presence. Then there’s the sexy Nicole Scherzinger, strutting her stuff to save her boyfriend. The only really ewwww moment in the film was that yucky French kiss between the two.
Overall a fun movie, definitely none of those grotesque aliens that you generally see in movies with extra terrestrial beings. The action-comedy flick definitely gets a thumbs up from me. Oh! Just one piece of advice though, it looks best in a huge screen (not downloaded on your laptop) and go 3D.
