Men (and probably dog) to Wear Black for Third Time
Like many, I came out of Men In Black II disappointed. Â The story was kind of lame, Tommy Lee Jones’s reintroduction could have been much more epic, and it suffered from trying to cram in every character from the first film. Â I think I’m going to start calling that “Crank 2 Syndrome”.
In any case, I still thought the series had potential, which is why it’s good to hear that both Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones have agreed to a third film. Â Here’s the thing, though: Â Without the dynamic of introducing a new recruit to the Men In Black (which both movies used), what’s this movie going to be about? Â Maybe they’ll be forced to make the plot itself interesting. Â Or perhaps they’ll just write in a new rookie agent, treating us once again to the classic “small gun is surprisingly dangerous” bit.
Oh, and it’s in 3D.
