Men in Black 3

MEN IN BLACK 3
 
 
Men in Black 3  (stylized as MIB³ and alternatively spelled Men in Black III) is a 2012 American 3D comic science fiction-action film directed by Barry Sonnenfeld and starring Will Smith, Tommy Lee Jones, and Josh Brolin (who plays Agent K’s younger counterpart).  It is the third installment in the Men in Black film series based on Lowell Cunningham’s The Men in Black comic book series published by Marvel and Malibu Comics.  It was released fifteen years after the original Men in Black (1997) and ten years after the first sequel Men in Black II (2002).  Sonnenfeld and Steven Spielberg returned as director and executive producer, respectively.  Men in Black 3 received generally positive reviews from critics; unadjusted for inflation, it is the highest grossing film in the series.  (More from Wikipedia)
 
 

Speaking of under-appreciation, don’t listen to the film critics who slammed the third entry in the Men in Black FranchiseMen in Black 3.  This one has all of the cleverness that was largely missing from the second film (though I have come to enjoy that one as well after the fourth or fifth viewing) and features time travel back to 1969, where Andy Warhol is portrayed as an undercover “man in black”.  I thoroughly enjoyed MIB 3 myself.
