Even though agents J (Will Smith) and K (Tommy Lee Jones) have been protecting the Earth from alien scum for many years, J still does not know much about his gruff partner. However, J soon gets an unexpected chance to find out what makes K tick when an alien criminal called Boris the Animal (Jemaine Clement) escapes, goes back to 1969, and kills K. With the fate of the planet at stake, J goes back in time and teams up with K's younger self (Josh Brolin) to put things right.

Critics Consensus

It isn't exactly a persuasive argument for the continuation of the franchise, but Men in Black III is better than its predecessor and manages to exceed expectations.

This movie leaves off feeling like the franchise is not quite complete, but maybe it is better to just end things on a high note.

Part 3, A masterpiece of cinematography. Sonenfeld's direction is brilliant. Everything is thought out beautifully. The plot is excellent. The selection of artists is the same. This is definitely my favorite movie. I will miss the sequel. I want that in the new part, Agent K remains the same Josh Brolin, and Agent J - Will Smith. (Since the fourth part of the film is very unsuccessful and also the selection of actors.)

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

I found this movie the best of the franchise. I enjoyed the backstory, and the special effects are always entertaining. Josh Brolin makes a great younger K, and Will Smith delivers as J. There is always just a formulaic approach to these movies, and that's the biggest issue for me. But an entertaining pop corn movie nonetheless.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

This was a fun movie to watch. I usually scoff at time-travel movies, but this one was entertaining. Though it was fairly forgettable, it's worth a watch at least once.

MIB3 is entertaining but forgettable, even without a neuralizer!

National Newspaper Publishers Association

Let's give Smith, Jones and Sonnefeld a pass for going back to the well one too many times. But if they go for a MIB4, the pity party is over.

Rated: 2/4

Deadspin

While it's a little thrown together, "Men in Black 3" seems focused on recapturing not just the style but also the soul of the original.

Deep Focus Review

Although not entirely successful in terms of restoring interest in the franchise or justifying yet another sequel after this one, it’s a diverting experience and, at best, better than the 2002 sequel.

Rated: 2.5/4

The film works, offering viewers a refreshing outing in the MiB universe. If this is the last journey for the men in the black suits, then this is a fitting farewell.
