Just as winning and entertaining as the first two, "Men in Black 3" presents a twist as Agent J (Will Smith) travels back in time to the 'sixties to change history involving his partner Agent K (Tommy Lee Jones). The young Agent K is played by Josh Brolin, who is uncanny in channeling Jones. All of the familiar elements are there: grotesque aliens masquerading as humans, comic book violence, sly humor, cliff-hanging suspense, and a wonderful rapport between the two agents. I found the time-travel device a good change, and the writers had a fun proposing and disposing of the conundrums it naturally produces, and added a character who lives simultaneously in multiple parallel times just to keep everyone on their toes. It's a worth addition to the MIB canon.
