Men In Black 3: the review

Posted on May 27, 2012 Written by Diane

During the movie I thought maybe I’d go out to the lobby and get a box of Red Vines or something. Those Reese’s Pieces Simon had sure were tasty.

After the movie, Sophia said, “That’s my favoritest movie ever!”

Darin added, “Yeah, I think that was better that the first Men In Black.” 

My take-away from this is

  1. Opinions differ, particularly based on a) age and b) memory of the previous films. (I don’t remember the first one particularly, although I remember enjoying it. Darin’s memory tends to be better than mine these days, so if he says MIB3 is better than MIB1, I see no reason to doubt him.)
  2. It’s not a great movie by any stretch of the imagination. Except if you’re 12. Then it might be the bestest thing ever.

It’s late May. We should be in Amazing Movie Season. And yet each week we’re scrambling to find movies to see.

(Yes, we’ve seen The Avengers. Twice, in fact. I see no reason to even have an entry about it here, because everyone else in Christendom has seen it too (twice).)

We saw Men In Black 3 this afternoon and already it’s faded from my mind. And I wanted to write movies?
