I really didn’t mind the first Men In Black film. It was pretty decent light entertainment. However, the second Men In Black film was just painful to watch (although if you just watched the parts with Lara Flynn Boyle and hit mute it was ok).
However, the second film did make money… and if you have a second film that makes money… then you’re almost sure to have a third film. And that’s the rumour going around today. The good folks over at MovieHole report the following:
Tommy Lee Jones and Will Smith are set to hit the creature-infested streets again for a “Men in Black 3”. Producer Walter Parkes [“The Island”] confirmed that the sequel is in the “planning phase” and that they’re coaxing Sirs Jones and Smith back to the ghostbusting business.
I don’t know how I feel about this. On the one hand the second film totally sucked, and yet on the other hand I’m always good for a brainless fun Sci-Fi flick. personally, I think Tommy Lee Jones should get back to his real strength and focus just on some solid dramas for a while.
