Men in Black 3: Apparently not awful
May. 24th, 2012 12:19 pm"Men in Black 3," another movie I hoped would be an occasion for scathing commentary, debuts with just darn OK reviews.
A.O. Scott of the NY Times gets a few shots in: (http://movies.nytimes.com/2012/05/25/movies/men-in-black-3-with-will-smith-and-tommy-lee-jones.html?ref=movies)
"Can you think of a new movie with less reason for existing than “Men in Black 3”? What? “Battleship”? Yes, O.K. Good point."
"The music sounds less like a score by Danny Elfman than like a score by Danny Elfman’s smartphone app, and it carries dreadful intimations of forced fun."
Roger Ebert actually seems to like the movie: (http://rogerebert.suntimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20120523/REVIEWS/120529988), but tosses off at least one bon mot to keep me happy:
"I am not sure how undercover an MiB agent can be when he dresses exactly like the Blues Brothers, but never mind, they get the job done."
