    I personally loved Men in Black 3.

    Thanks to this review I now know that Jemaine Clement from Flight of the Concords played Borris the animal.

    "No character"?
    I was kinda moved in the ending when J sees his own past.

      10 years later😂 anyway I read that Paul Thomas Anderson also felt the same way, he cried his eyes out with that revelation.

    *Brits.
    Also 'right' should be capitalised, followed by a comma and you also might wish to consider a full stop or 'period' at the end of your sentence.

    i really enjoyed mib3, i thought the stuff about will smith in 1969 was mentioned long enough because after about 5 minutes it didnt really matter. I actually thought the 3d was quite good. it was better than what I have seen before (which isnt really saying much). i think on this occasion that Dr K is being too harsh to mib3.

    I completely agree with Mark in the fact that the best way to move forward with this franchise is to get Tommy Lee Jones out of the picture. They should find angles and new storylines. The world of MIB seems interesting enough that they shouldn't stick to a single formula.

    Seems a bit backwards really, he's still seeing the film. If the 3D is added as an after thought (not filmed in 3D) then it surey it should be fairly obvious that it's not going to add anything to the film as a whole.

  • @Rhubba
    @Rhubba Před 12 lety

    The Doc mentions the 3D in passing, it's clear the timeslot for the review is coming to and end and besides he's already covered in a number of other videos why he thinks 3D used in every other film isn't effective or adds to the movie watching experience so if you're familiar with his other reviews then you'll be able to understand why he mentions the MiB3 3D in a brief and cursory way.

    I agree with you on that Men in Black 1 and Josh Brolin's impression of Tommy Lee Jones is a very good rendition. As for Men in Black 2 I found that it was a good follow up to the original. Granted that I was 13 at the time and didn't have much cinema knowledge but I thought it was a good film. Though I have not rewatched for a few years my opinion may change.

    " The 3D, you go *plop*....yup...and oh I see, the blob's going to fly into the screen on me. And thank you very much. "
    Perfect.

    MIB 1 = great fun, awesome song. 2 = dreadful cash in and makes no sense. 3 = much better than I think it gets credit for. A worthy sequel to the first one, despite a pretty preposterous fight on the rocket at the end. Its good fun though.

    How can you see an invisible fly?

  • @farshnuke
    @farshnuke Před 12 lety

    The plot for men in Black 2 would have worked if it was the last film made in the franchise and deliberately playing on past glories, the fact that it followed right after the first meant that the impact of Tomy Lee Jones was lost

    3D used to be a tool used by the movie/cinema industry to say "yes you could watch the film of your TV at home. However, come to us and you can see it on our amazing 3D screen."
    Now we have 3D televisions so making 3D films to get people into cinema theatres is pointless. Hopefully directors and producers will learn this and abandon 3D because it's a costly addition that doesn't add to the experience and doesn't increase ticket sales like it was intended to do in the first place.

    It was a lot better than I thought it was gonna be, I enjoyed it thoroughly and Josh Brolin is a really good TLJ impersonator.

  • @chrishiggins7166
    @chrishiggins7166 Před rokem

    The film’s writing & direction don’t live up to his supposed expectations, however the film’s still funny, well acted, stylish & effective. (69%) (3.5/5 stars) (positive)

    • @bolshevi3187
      @bolshevi3187 Před rokem

      69%? 3.5/5? Just say positive, even though I could clearly see that from the first sentence.
      Review scores have always been a load of bull. Ok it’s 3.5 stars, but as always the question is… why? Expand?
      Anyway. Who am I to say anything

  • @DChappelle27

    0:11 ... 19th century was from 1800-1899... 20th century was 1900-1999... 21st century, which is the century we are in now.. is 2000-2099... if you think about it, it makes sense.... once 2100 comes, 21 centuries will have passed, so it cant be the 21st century, its thee beginning of the 22nd century... majority of people get this mixed up... cuz they look at the first two digits of the year

  • @dcflake5645
    @dcflake5645 Před 11 lety +1

    1st movie is one of my favourite movies of all time. 2nd movie as unnecessary and disappointing. 3rd film was better but I don't see me actively watching it again.

  • @harizotoh7
    @harizotoh7 Před 12 lety

    Well, the time for that would have been two movies ago. The MiB tv series was really, really good. At least the first season. It got a bit goofy after that. It's no Netflix. I consider that the only worthy sequel to the series.

  • @jubzfree
    @jubzfree Před 12 lety

    just watched it, i suppose kermode was right here, certainly better than MIB2 but can never match MIB1. But overall a decent film. 7/10.

  • @juliuswhiteman
    @juliuswhiteman Před 12 lety

    you'll probably find he has to due to press screenings

  • @IbanezNick75
    @IbanezNick75 Před 12 lety

    5:14 they are incorrect. The man told Will Smith that if he lost the time traveling device, life would be terrible because of racism. So in a way they told it wrong.

  • @pauldee
    @pauldee Před 12 lety

    He doesn't actually say "but".
    Plus, he's reviewing a film that's in 3D. Regardless of his opinion, he has to mention how that affects the film.

    Great fun but the time differences were all over the place. And holy hell I hope I don't look like that when I'm 29

  • @Rhubba
    @Rhubba Před 12 lety

    A lot of people agree with him that 3D for 3Ds sake harms a movie.

  • @leumasnonnahs348
    @leumasnonnahs348 Před 12 lety

    well if i said see's fly i would of got loads of comments saying 'Where is the Fly' so thats my I put Invisible.I understand and its ok.

  • @Templars1005
    @Templars1005 Před 12 lety

    Men in Black 1 is very good. Funny, cool, with enough interest to last multiple viewings. MIB2 terrible. MIB3... Mm, I'll just rewatch MIB1. I will say this though Josh Brolin as a young Tommy Lee Jones fantastic casting. His voce and mannerisms is pitch perfect. Will probably watch it for him.

    Why doesn't Kermode just stop seeing films in 3D..

    @paulklein8048 Před 12 lety

    Don't want to see it, Men in Black 2 was poor, the first worked because Will Smith did the urban guy thing while Jones got to do the whole grouchy old guy schtick. TBH, they should have left it alone.

    Corporations are souless sociopaths. It happens all the time, and it's to be expected.
    RoboCop is a surprise success? Make a whole series of awful movies, tv shows, and toys to cash in!

      Yup, I wanted my money back and I didn't even pay to see it...MIB2 was far superior.

    Awful film. Better than MIB2 though.
