The best word to describe “Men in Black 3” is Will Smith is back.

The movie is light and fun, and the charming Will Smith reminds us why he is one of the world’s most well-liked movie stars. Smith and Jones return with the ‘Men In Black 3’ sequel, which arrives 10 years after “Men in Black II.”

Director Barry Sonnenfeld has never been able to recapture the magic of the original film from 1997 and the joys of the lightning-in-a-bottle pairing of Smith with the great Tommy Lee Jones and his drier-than-the-Sahara delivery. The two of them in matching suits is already enough to provoke some laughs. Add goofy aliens, giant guns and that brain-cleansing Neuralyzer thingie and you’re bound to get some satisfaction.

The movie opens Friday at the theaters.
