Great news for MIB fans that felt short changed on 2 and thought that there should be a third installment . This time there is a twist to the plot that has Agent Jay traveling back in time to the 60’s to save his partner Kay (Josh Brolin). Along the way Jay meets guitar legend Jimi Hendrix, Andy Warhol, Yoko Ono and others. Of course they are all aliens which does explain Yoko’s singing career.
Spoilers from JoBlo.com
- There’s only one real bad guy in the film, and it’s Yaz, described as a nightmare biker who looks like Dennis Hopper and Satan. But it would seem it would be hard to craft a “badass hell biker” villain who is played by Flight of the Conchord’s.
- an Apple Store will be a secret time-travel hub, and shaking the iPhone’s clock app as a way to travel into the past. LOL Marketing is everything.
- Josh Brolin will play a young agent Kay
- The plot is that Yaz travels back in time to kill Kay and sets of a chain of events that ends in the destruction of the world
2 things that I could see spoiling this film. Time travel plots are often misused in films and they tend to go flat. However you are talking MIB and it might work. The other is and has been pointed out that Josh Brolin is supposed to play a 26 year old version of Kay. Josh is 42 years old. Other then that if they keep to the formula that made the franchise it should be one of those watchable movies that is just pure entertainment which at the end has you going home with a smile on your face. When it finally comes down to it that is what you truly pay for at the box office.
