Coming 15 years after the first and 10 years after the sequel, Men in Black is back and just as great as ever.
The Fresh Prince and Tommy Lee's chemistry remains strong after all these years, even in their limited screen time together. While Will Smith also shows tremendous chemistry and comedic timing with Josh Brolin. Brolin, who portrays the young Agent Kay, proves to be charismatic, charming, and humorous unlike the renegade purple alien, Thanos, who does not appear in this movie about policing aliens.
Despite not possessing the time stone, Will Smith and Boris (don't call him The Animal) both manage to travel through time, providing a riveting twist compared to the previous MiB films.
It is in the past via time travel that one's perception on the entire trilogy changes. Turns out Kay and Jay met like 40 years ago. This mind blowing scene provides explanation for why Kay is a big grump, why Jay was recruited by him to join MiB all the way back in the first film, and provides a new lens for viewing all of their interactions throughout the previous movies. Jay was neuralized to forgot this ever happened, but Kay could never forget... how could he. As this scene unfolds, the heart of any viewer with a pulse will break.
Overall, don't sleep on the third MiB... it might just be the best of them all. 8/10.
