Being a 17 year old, I watched the first two MIBs when I was quite young. I'm a Will Smith fan, but I still didn't watch the first two immediately prior to this one hence I had these Deja vu moments whilst observing, for example,the "neuralizer" and certain other specific aspects specific to the Men in Black series.
I rate this an 8 primarily because of the structure of a "proper" movie. Although it may not be a direct sequel,it was quite well knit with the MIB back story and the basic background of the whole trilogy (not that there will not be any other MIB, but let's see).
I missed Will Smith as I was watching the movie. He reminded me of the Will Smith I was acquainted to when I was young, characteristics that most of his new work does not explicitly express.
MIB 3 was definitely better than I expected. There was flow as mentioned implicitly before. Dialogue heavy at times, it makes one wonder "Why?" but it does make the whole atmosphere of the scene more profound.
Casting wise, the original lead cast members were intact (which in my view was a definite USP for the movie). The casting in general permitted a fluid experience hence it is redundant to say "it could've been better" as this is not exactly the case. The script was interesting with certain ways of making the audience try to understand what a character was saying which only made the experience a better one. Mind you, MIB 3 does not make one think too hard whilst watching the movie, but intrigues one really.
The 3D viewing, honestly, wasn't a big point to stress on. Yes, one or two scenes of course make it worthwhile, but with a 1 hour and 40 minutes duration, I highly doubt that two and a half minutes of screen time which utilized the 3D effect to it's potential is worth skipping the opportunity of a 2D viewing to wait for a 3D one.
Two words: Time Travel. The concept, new or old, does obviously impact the story a significant amount. To revolve about this concept may not appeal to some but hey, it all depends on you.
The movie does have it's moments but not a surplus amount like in "Harry Potter 7 Part 2" or "The Avengers" for example. In other words, MIB 3 does not appear to try that hard, which in reality, only helped give the movie a serene atmosphere, and again I stress, one that flowed smoothly.
Ultimately, I recommend this movie, and if some of you are wondering, no you do not need to watch the first two to understand this, but it definitely helps. Worth a watch, maybe two if you're that big of a fan. I would not watch it twice immediately but that's just me.
Interestingly, I want to watch the first two now! 8/10 suggests that it's worth it,so have fun! If you watched it already, hope you liked this review!
