Men In Black 3



This movie... I didn't really like it, but it was OK. Also I'm angry with it... Yeah! So now I'm gonna tell you in more detail, but first a look back!

Men In Black 1
I secretly liked it at first but I was scared of it. I was really frightened when I was a child and I sat with my family, my mother and my brother, and saw this film at home. My mother liked it, my brother loved it, I liked it, but was scared of it. Now when I'm older.... Loving it! The soundtrack is much better in the movie than just listening to it, Danny Elfman has done a fantastic job as always. The acting is top! I love the man who's playing the bug because he is doing a splendid job here! The colors, the make up, the special effects are all so fantastic! The characters are great also, the partnership between K and J.. Do I even have to mention it because everybody knows it and loves it. Tommy Lee Jones always so fantastic and Will Smith as well! The story is just another perspective, a what if story, what if there were aliens on earth and why we don't know about it.. is because someone is hiding them. That's the story, but why it's so good is because we're introduced to another world through the characters and we follow them in their "every day life"... Yeah! Why this movie was scary for me was because of the performance of the bug and the make up they gave him. That's why I love him today because he is so believable! Anyway! I'm babbling here so I'm gonna move on to the next movie!

Men In Black 2
I've always liked this movie. When I was a child and this one came out I watched this because it was more "kid friendly"... It was! It was more humor, no scay man where a bug wears a humans skin. Instead we have a woman that you can see walking down the street.... If you're lucky. Who isn't the least bit scary. She has a sex appeal... Yay! Anyway! I'm trying to remember right now what she wanted... But I don't really remember.... So we're skipping that part, watch the movie if you're curious. But yeah, this one was more "kid friendly" with more humor and stuff like that... Instead of K we now get Franky and... no.. He's just in it for comedy.. Last movie was just J for the comedy, but around him was pretty much all seriousness... In Men In Black 2... J isn't the only one that's funny! So yeah, but I still liked it, I still do because the comedy is still contained and funny. It never get's emberassed funny like they can do.. And yeah, I like the worms in this one. Anyway!

I'm not actually here to talk about Men In Black 1 and 2... I'm just telling you my oppinion on the previous movies so here goes.. The one I'm gonna talk about... Men In Black 3.

The story is something like this: J and K are partners, K get's threaten by someone he injurnerd and put to jail a while ago. That someone travels back into the past and kills off K. J is the only one that knows about the "other future" that might have happened if K survived his future threat. So he has to go back to the past and save K. Also he has to save the planet from an invasion.

Like many third sequels this one tries to follow up the first movie... But they forget about the details! That's this movie MAIN problem. They don't take up the details. Like the opening: When I first saw it, I sat back and the movie began.. I heard the original soundtrack and I got goosebumps. I was screaming at the screen "That's how you begin a Men In Black movie!" ... Then the visuals didn't match up... How did the other two began? The first one began in space, and then we follow the camera to a dragonfly that's flying on the road while the music is playing and showing off the credits and then the bug dies on the window to a car. Perfect! The other movie starts first with a backstory on a TV screen, then a shot in space as the original soundrtack is playing and we follow a spaceship flying through the universe and destroys planets. Then it lands on earth, let's out a... alien who then scares a dog. Great! ... Not this movie.. It starts with a prison escape on moon... All I could think to myself was: TRANSFORMERS! Transformers 3 were on the moon, the story came from the moon... Did Men In Black run out of ideas so they had to steal from Transformers?

Details is the most important thing to remember, it can ruin a whole movie if you miss them. Just asking a couple of questions... If K dies 40 years ago, how could he have recruited J? K was the one who came to the police office and talked to J about his alien accounter, after that they went out and talked about something that only K would talk about then they went out and had a talk and it was after THAT that K told James about the Men in Black. Only K could have done this thing because J and him have this conection that started from the beginning. So... If he didn't do it, who did? The day when K disappears, everybody didn't know who K was, but they did know him... Why? It doesn't make sense..

There's all these other stuff that K did that would happen if he died before the first movie so... I don't get it, but! Moving on! The main problem with this movie is that J has become a symbol, not a character. K has become a symbol not a characters... These are not characters anymore like they were in the first one and half of the second one... They are just tools that are trying to follow a path that happened years ago! J has no other purpose than being funny. K has no other purpose than being broody... It's not very interesting to watch.
K was a fast talking guy that tried to have fun but was always interrupted by his job, by the things he know. Like in the restaurant where J and K meet for the second time to have pie, he is laughing! Hard laughing, but then he has to come back to reality and that's why he's brooding. He can't enjoy life anymore because he had to give up his dreams, his family everything he enjoyed in life because he knew too much. That's why he wanted to forget everything and trained J to take over for him. In the third movie... He's brooding because he's K and he does that! .. I'm just.. Why doesn't K ask J again to make him forget his life with the Men In Black? Why isn't he angry that J never can do anything for himself? He had a chance for a normal life and J took him back from it because he needed help... I would be angry, if I've been brooding for sooooo long and then I'm finally rewarded with another life and then someone takes it away from me.. I would be like: "Fine! I'll help save the world for one last time... again! But then I want a freaking big vecation and a restrainingorder from the Men In Black!"

Men In Black worked because of the monsters and the characters.. If none of them work.. What else do you have left?
Also there was another thing that they forgot about the Men In Black.. They're secrete! J originally was from the police and then acted like a police would do, shoot the bad guy if he was a threat, shoot at the car to get him to slow down. That's why K taught him that he couldn't do that with these weapons. Far too many people would notice and they could only live a happy life if they didn't know that alien existed!
They really ignore that sentence here! "They have one of these neuralyzer that they use all the time!" ... No they didn't. That was used in special cases and interviews. NOT so they could do whatever they wanted!

Now I'm just gonna talk about the small details that drove me nuts but aren't that important so... If you don't care about that, go see the movie and make up your own oppinion. Have fun watching!

Yeah! So... Details... First one was Z dies and there's a funeral. At this funeral K speaks and it doesn't really makes sense, but what doesn't makes MORE sense is that the one that takes Z's place is starting to talk an alien language... The most annoying part is that J gets surprised and can't seem to understand her... YOU DID THE SAME THING!!! Did you forget? You did the beatbox thing with the aliens in the post office when you were getting K! Why are you surprised when another member from the MIB are ding the same thing?
The second thing! The elevator... No, this is interesting! They've been upgrading the elevator from the second movie, in the first and second movie it was a regular elevator with a front and back door, but now they've upgraded it into a glass, round elevator that only opens in the front..... I think. The thing about details is... you have to think about them. Why would they have that glass elevator in the 1969?! I don't blame them for keeping up the technology with the weapons and stuff because they could have gotten that from the aliens. If they had that elevator in the 1969, why switch it to a box elevator then?! And then keep it until year 2012... or whatever that year was? It just... It doesn't make sense.
The third thing! The technolgy... They have the same guns, the have the same elevator... But they don't have hyperspeed in the cars? ... WHAT?! You know what we get instead? Jetpacks... No no! Not the kind of jetpacks in Spy Kids and GTA, no! These are bigger, I don't really know how to explain them, but they're as tall as a human and you kan stand on them and they're half a orb... Ish. If you can build those jetpacks... Why couldn't you build a little red button that takes you into hyperspeed in the cars! Oh! And you know what else they got? Motorcycles that.... No! I can't... This is too much! The logic has gone to outer space and then exploded while crashing into the alien ship that attack the creators brain while making this movie!

... Details people. Can be fateful. Bye for now!
