Storyline

After an eye-opening encounter of the third kind, the secret MiB organisation's newest recruit, Agent M, finds herself under the wing of the heroic Agent H in cosmopolitan London, when a shape-shifting duo of intergalactic assassins executes an alien aristocrat. Now, with a devastating super-weapon of mass destruction hidden somewhere on Earth, the Men in Black will leave no stone unturned to retrieve it. However, heavy clouds of mistrust and a scent of betrayal envelop the once-incorruptible agency. Is there a well-placed mole in their midst?

User Reviews

I am really surprised at how much I enjoyed this.

After all the negative reviews, I gave this one a miss. But I have literally just finished watching it- and it was not bad in the least. Of course it's a departure from the first 3- it could not be the same- but every bit as enjoyable as the first MIB despite not having Will Smith's wisecracking. If you haven't seen it yet- try it out with an open mind. You might be very pleasantly surprised.
