I'd say Marvel must be pretty happy these days.

Yeah, I think they are. MIB and Spiderman are two of the last non-marvel studios properties out there and Sony has them both, so both are making some good bank.

Saw this today and really really enjoyed it. I'd heard some off reviews but I ignored them and Mrs M & I jollied on over to our local multiplex. From the start I was captivated, Will Smith always comes across as a great presence & Tommy Lee Jones is always a delight. The story is very good, and Josh Brolins impression of Agent K (TLJ) is highly impressive.

The main villain is pretty cool though his voice reminded me of Tim Curry, the climax hit me with a suprise wack of emotion that I honestly didn't see coming. A highly successful surprise hit for me and has left me wanting for more Men in Black.

How much is Tommy Lee Jones in the picture? It looks from the previews he has mostly a cameo and Josh Brolin has the majority of the role.

He's in about the first fifteen/twenty minutes and then at the end but don't let that put you off as Brolin is fantastic. Emma Thompson does a nice little turn as well.

I plan to see it soon, was just wondering

Except from what I hear comics in general are dying a slow painful death, with specialty stores becoming a very rare thing these days. I'm only aware of three comic shops within a 50 mile radius of Center City Philadelphia. I guess it's a good thing for Marvel the movies are doing so well but I do wonder about the future of these franchises in the long run.

Not to diverge too much, but I wouldn't say comics are dying exactly. Comic shops are closing, but that's like many retail places (hey remember Borders Books - I hear they were pretty big). Everything is going online - and digital. Comics are making the transition to e-comics. That plus the big hit comic-based movies I think bodes well for the future of comics in general.

I hope you're right!

Watched Men In Black III. Gets a 5/10 for me. Josh Brolin was the stand out for me, but every time I saw Boris the Animal, for some reason I kept seeing Randy Savage, ooohhhh Yeah.
