"Men in Black 3" -- A Slice of SciFi Movie Review

Michael Hickerson — Thu, 24 May 2012 14:31:01 +0000

It's been a decade since Agents J and K teamed up on the silver screen to protect Earth from the scum of the universe. Part of that was due to the fact that Men in Black II wasn't in the same league as the original and part of it was probably due to finding the right hole in everyone's schedule to produce a third installment. Thankfully, Men in Black 3 (opening in theaters, Friday May 25) is leaps and bounds better than Men in Black II. And while it's not quite in the same comic stratosphere as the original Men in Black, it's a solid, enjoyable and at times amusing summer action comedy.
