In Men in Black™ 3, Agents J (Will Smith) and K (Tommy Lee Jones) are back… in time. J has seen some inexplicable things in his 15 years with the Men in Black, but nothing, not even aliens, perplexes him as much as his wry, reticent partner. But when K’s life and the fate of the planet are put at stake, Agent J will have to travel back in time to put things right. J discovers that there are secrets to the universe that K never told him — secrets that will reveal themselves as he teams up with the young Agent K (Josh Brolin) to save his partner, the agency, and the future of humankind. The film is directed by Barry Sonnenfeld. The screenplay is written by Etan Cohen, based on the Malibu Comic by Lowell Cunningham. The producers are Walter F. Parkes and Laurie MacDonald, and the executive producers are Steven Spielberg and G. Mac Brown.

Some of the shots look interesting but some of the look like shots from the last movie. I want familar MIB with a new twist but this doesn't really grab me. And if those are some of the funniest moments in the movie, then we are in trouble. I'm sure the movie is going to at least be alright, but this trailer is disappointing to me, personally.

Yeah the trailer wasn't very funny.. MIB2 had like one decent joke in it for me.. Yet the original MIB was very funny.. I think Barry Sonnenfield is responsible for a lot of that...

I took a few minutes away from it and watched it again. I liked it better the second time around. I like the idea that K is hiding more. I just feel like the FPisms were adlibs that ended up in the trailer. They are a little on the predictable side...to the point that they almost feels scripted. It certainly doesn't have any quotables in it...and there's no sign of a new FP joint...but I imagine that will come together during the last stages.

It looks like a mess of a trailer.
You can tell all the trouble they've experienced and are still experiencing kind of affected the trailer in a bad way.
Most shots seem unfinished, large portion of material not included because of this and it kind of shows in the trailer. Still the material doesn't seem as bad as I expected it to be.

The movie can still turn out to be good but I'm not getting my hopes up.
