Men In Black III: Press reviews

'Will Smith has still got it but Tommy Lee Jones is getting on - luckily, Josh Brolin steps up as the new sidekick'

'You don't need to study up on the previous installments or master a body of bogus fanboy lore to enjoy this movie for the breezy pop throwaway it is. Your expectations may be pleasantly low, and you may therefore be pleasantly surprised when they are exceeded.'

'Smith and Jones deliver a few scenes of enjoyably antagonistic banter but neither seems as fully committed to this kind of comedy as in the earlier films.'

'a mixed bag, but a cheery, sunny, nifty-looking one, whose emotional strokes count for more than its predecessors' surly attitude'

'the flatlining franchise is revived with some pretty strong jolts here'

'After the calamitous MiB2, this third one looks almost classy'

'if you're in the market for a better-than-average episode of Doctor Who, then Men in Black 3 delivers'

'moderately enjoyable'

'Enjoyable enough that you won't need neuralising afterwards.'

'I'm still not convinced anyone really needs it, but this is a respectable effort in the circumstances.'

'Despite some good moments, Agents J, O and K are missing an E. '

'If ITV had made Doctor Who then it would look something like this.'

'It's surprising to see an action film that plays so jitteringly like the stretched-thin, papered-over adornment of an elaborately contrived script that it leaves its framework sticking uneasily out between the edges'

'In a summer hardly starved of comic-book properties, this redundant extension of a series that ran out of gas a decade ago doesn't need a neuralyzer to be forgettable.'
