"Men in Black 3"

CHICOPEE, Mass. (WWLP) -

Rated PG-13
1 hour 55 minutes

There’s nothing like time travel and a new face to revitalize "Men In Black".  Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones are still policing refugees from alien planets. Surely character masquerading as humans.

"Men In Black 3" can only go so far zapping dangerous characters from the Alien underworld. And besides, there's a perception Tommy Lee Jones has gotten too old for the young audience.

Josh Brolin fits comfortably into the time travel plot as Tommy Lee in his prime.

"Men In Black 3” could hardly survive without razzle-dazzle visual effects. With Barry Sonnenfeld again at the helm, the smartly directed comic adventure doesn't miss a trick that's already proven itself.

And the chemistry between Brolin and Smith works like magic. The stoned faced, utterly confused Brolin is the perfect foil for Smith's engaging bursts of amusing explanations of how the two happen to meet years earlier.

"Men In Black 3" can hold its own with any of the current crop of Summer blockbusters. Rarely does a second sequel of anything hit the mark with 3 stars.

It's every bit as good as you've heard from me and word of mouth.
