What to Know

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.

MIB3 is entertaining but forgettable, even without a neuralizer! Go to Full Review

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. Go to Full Review

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. Go to Full Review

The third film, while unnecessary in the grand scheme of things, still succeeds in being effective summer entertainment. Go to Full Review

2.5/4
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. Go to Full Review

Nov 29 It's Too Weird....... See more Joshua W Nov 25 Its 2025 and Im watching these with my son. Ive never seen the third because of the second one and here we are both crying at the end. Characters are given more depth again, and the baddie was genuinely enjoyable. Effects were a bit wonky but fits this series playful theme. See more First L. @DMA1234 Nov 4 Good movie, recommended See more Tyler G Nov 2 Somewhere in between the blockmaster masterpiece of the first movie and the embaressing failure of the second movie. See more Justin T Sep 22 This is so very similar to the previous film. I didn’t like the time travel and the story was stupid. It held my attention though and the jokes are less repetitive. The effects and production in general looked a lot better. I thought the villain was cool. And the alien character Griffin reminded me of Mantis from Guardians of the Galaxy and was a great addition to the film. Overall only worth watching if you liked the first two. See more Matheus F Sep 9 The best movie of the triology. See more Read all reviews
