“The Men in Black” are back and off the chain stealing the number one spot at the box office!

The cool characters of Men in Black's swagger was powerful enough to knock “The Avengers” out of the top spot at the box office.

DETROIT (Tell Us USA) - It’s been ten years since “Men in Black 2” and I can honestly say that the third and final installment of the series “Men in Black 3” is the best of all the three films. Once you see the film you’ll understand why it’s number one at the box office this Memorial Day Holiday weekend. The special effects are phenomenal, the story line was tight and the 3-D effect really draws you into the movie unlike “The Avengers” where after having watched it you wonder why it was in 3-D because it didn’t add to the film.

Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones are holding it down. Smith as Agent Jay has that cool, normal but over the top demeanor, we all know and love. It always seems like a bit of the real Will Smith is coming through. He gives it to you straight with no chaser, pouring on the charm, wit and jokes. Tommy Lee Jones as Agent K is still the uptight crotchety, wise teacher, that shows barely any emotion and offers no real insight into what makes him tic, or what’s going on in his life. The difference with this movie is we find out why Agent K (Jones) and Agent J (Smith) are such a good team and why there’s such a strong connection between this oddball couple of futuristic crime fighters.

One of the standouts is the villain Boris the Animal played by Jamaine Clement. He’s the best and worst villain I’ve seen in an action sci-fi flick in a long time. He’s hideous looking, has small icky alien creatures crawling out of his hands that can kill you if he throws them at you. He holds no prisoners and wreaks havoc on anyone he comes in contact with. He has a history with Agent Kay (Jones) and he’s breaks out of prison to even the score. What’s interesting about this film is that Agent Jay (Smith) has to time travel back to the early sixties in the early stages of the M.I.B’s agency’s start. Agent Jay has to get to the bottom of “Boris the Animal’s” connection to Agent Kay (Jones) and hopefully stop him so that he won’t destroy the world as they know it. So from this point Agent Jay (Smith) meets the young Agent Kay played by Josh Brolin who steals the show from the moment he comes on film. He’s handsome and captures the true essence, mannerisms and characteristics of his older self. He hits the head on the nail with a dead on impersonation making you believe he’s a younger Agent Kay.

“M.I.B.III” is exciting, contemporary, entertaining and electric! You don’t want to miss the first 20 minutes because there are some powerful, unimaginable scenes that include Nicole Sherzinger who plays “Boris the Animal’s” girlfriend that keeps you on the edge of your seat. This movie is action packed to the inth degree with unusual alien creatures, some posing as humans and shape shifting and you’ll also get a dose of new weird subcultures that the agents are not phased by in the least.

Going back to the early sixties really sheds some light on Agent K (Jones) and gives Agent J(Smith) some real insight into all the things he’s never known about his partner and he discovers some things about why he’s so important to Agent K. The time traveling sequences really tie together a lot of loose ends and questions that fans might’ve had about the two agent’s background and relationship and it’s really heartwarming. This 3rd movie brings in the heart and soul that you haven’t seen before in the series because it was always about being cool and nonchalant while they fight off the aliens of the world. M.I.B.III ties the whole series of films together. You’ll feel the excitement and have some draw dropping moments but you’ll understand why there’s such a deep, solid connection between Agents Kay (Jones) and Jay (Smith). This is the best movie out of the. I give “M.I.B.” 5-out of 5 Stars.
