Even though agents J and K 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 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 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.

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.
