10 years - not the short term in the world of film, especially when you consider that other franchises in that time managed to not only produce a complete trilogy, but also to get a restart. "People in Black" is much less lucky: as long as we know, it took them only in order to release only one more part. And, as is known, or cures or injure.
The first and most important question: where did these 10 years, then? For what? Okay, just shooting began only in 2010, but this time hatched an idea. Despite the writers' strike and the change for such a period it was simply obliged to mature by the time of its implementation. But nothing happened - instead, as it turned out the first day of shooting, the script was rewritten twice simply incomplete, in that willingly believe after seeing: the plot can not boast of anything decisively, proving, for all its failings logical, acceptable - but not more.
Next, a small remark concerning musical accompaniment Why were invited Pitbull to record theme song, if a team has already been Will Smith, ennoble the first part of the hit? If the decision was made for promotional purposes, it was not the best solution. No, maybe even say, a more audience it will attract, and the song only in the credits. But the spirit of the "Men in Black" it corresponds to a little more than nothing, which is well aware of when we hear the first notes, abruptly broke away from the aftertaste, and contrast with all previously seen.
And by the way, what was to convert the film in stereoscopic format? Money - this is, of course, is always good, but the moments in the film, designed for 3D, two-and-a-half, and they look great in the usual format. Not in the movie so many sights that would justify this senseless, in terms of product quality, metamorphosis, and therefore, forgive me, distributors, film production safely ignore this whim.
Naturally, such a cool attitude frankly authors to own offspring leads to some unpleasant thoughts that child can become a miscarriage. Prior to this, fortunately, it did not come, but shoots arranged leapfrog predictably were diluted with weeds.
Refers to the consequences of all of this is clearly underserved by the script. Skipping a few logical oversights, we can safely say that the collective improvisation on the set quite an abundance of humor helped. Of course, the film has a variety of jokes, sharpness, irony, and even the good old episodes harping erasure of memory and the naming of the next batch of celebrities aliens, or conspired agents. In other words, just what we like "Men in Black", is present here.
Another thing is that, for the third part of the comedy turned overly restrained. Through tears of laughter while viewing will be held unless it is very emotional, or has lived for forty years on a desert island people. It looks nice, easy and fun, but not hilarious. Perhaps there would be the best graceful remark William Thomas of Empire: "Despite some good moments, agents, J, O and K does not get [the agent] E". Partly to blame for this, and suddenly increased the drama, especially manifested itself in the end. Not outstanding, but within a franchise looking for at least unusual that, on the one hand, gives the tape is not overweight, and the other takes away space from the already disadvantaged humorous component.
However, in spite of everything, the most important in this series have been and may still be the characters. The main advantage of the tape, they are, in fact, pull it by yourself - thank God, there is still pulling it, so that the horrors of the second part in the past forever.
First of all, it's not even Will Smith - he is still the same crank and slaughter, as in the first two parts, and Tommy Lee Jones, who, unfortunately, are just barely. This is Josh Brolin. One can only wonder and marvel at how he was able to carry out its not easy tasks: to provide a worthy replacement for Tommy Lee Jones, and draw up a new team with Smith and portray a young Kay, balancing between debt and sudden (for Kay-something) optimism and a sense of humor.
Easy smile, alternating major mines and a relaxed state, and that is important - similar appearance: his character is presented to us, the only true version of the future biscuit in his youth, when he still did not try on the mask of reinforced concrete (which, however, was a special charm ). Brolin showed us such a young Kay, what would not show anyone else - and it was damn cool.
Others are unexpected, and whether all the more enjoyable part of acting was the performance of Michael Stalberga, whose character seems, can not win over. Forever scattered, at first glance, a kind face, eye-catching clothes, fancy looking yet nothing in comparison with the role of this character and his abilities. And no matter how he assured us with a screen that is de - curse such a sin not to be envied. Mighty simpleton - a combination of a killer, and in the performance is the best suitable for this role Stulbarga just a knockout.
As for the main villain, then it would be better still took Cohen. We can only dream and imagine how it would look on the site of Jemaine Clement, but certainly better. In any case, one would expect that if he would take part in the creation of both his character and plot patterns, it is, of course, would have a positive impact on the end result of the latter. Cohen did not take nothing.
Speaking in general: you watched the first two parts? You like them? At least the first? Then the "Men in Black 3" will enjoy. Despite all the flaws and shortcomings, the creators have been able to convey the good old atmosphere, the spirit of the first part of this beautiful film adaptation of urban legend, which was lucky for the simple reason that its potential has been discovered. Another thing is that the good old managed to return to the screen by repeating and self-citations - from, again, the familiar jokes and finishing in places, a rare but similar plot moves. Fairest entourage this way, only condoned, showing us a wonderful combination of marvelous 60th and peace MIB.
Summing up: the third part for sure will appeal to all those who have seen earlier, and as such people among the vast majority of moviegoers, read "almost everything." These are the same men in black - and this time their main advantage and disadvantage. After all, the clock is ticking, changing tastes and needs of the people, and the past, no matter what the writers have imagined, unfortunately or fortunately, but did not return. We must seize the moment.
