Will Smith’s screen return has humor and heart

When I initially heard about “Men in Black 3,” I didn’t think much of it. It’s summertime; of course there are going to be blockbuster sci-fi/action sequels. That’s just how it works. But when I sat down to actually watch the movie, something obvious only just then occurred to me.

I have never reviewed a Will Smith movie.

His last film was “Seven Pounds,” released in 2008 (well before my published film criticism began). Despite the fact that Will Smith is (I think) still considered one of the biggest movie stars on the planet, he hasn’t opened a movie in four years.
