Men in Black 3 is the greatest movie of all time

MIB3. "Boris the Animal!" "It's just Boris!" Directed by Barry Sonnenfeld in 2012, it's pretty good, but not great. 

Gist is 10 years after Men in Black II, Agent K and Agent J are back at when Boris the Animal escapes from prison, travels back in time, and kills Agent K, which allows his species of alien, the Boglodites, to invade/destroy Earth. 

It stars Will Smith as J with Tommy Lee Jones reprising his role as K. Josh Brolin plays the younger version. Jemaine Clement from What We Do in the Shadows and  Flight of the Concords plays Boris. 

Also stars Emma Thompson and Alice Eve as Agent O, "that guy" actor Michael Stuhlbarg (might recognize him from A Serious Man, Call Me By Your Name, and/or Doctor Strange) as a clairvoyant alien, and Mike Colter (Luke Cage) as J's dad. 

Slept on this for a long time. Definitely serviceable for a big-budget action film. Probably my second favorite of the franchise after the original. Jemaine is always a pleasure and really makes the movie for me.
