DVD: Men in Black 3

A clever variation on the Batman Begins/Casino Royale-type prequel which examines a hero’s early years, Men in Black 3 sends Will Smith’s alien-hunting agent back in time to 1969, where he teams up with the younger incarnation of his partner, Tommy Lee Jones, as played by Josh Brolin.

A lot of the fun gets lost in among the chin-stroking discussions of fate and alternate realities, but it’s still a vast improvement on Men in Black 2.
