 "It's good to see Will Smith's Agent J and Tommy Lee Jones' Agent K together again... sporadically funny, relying more than the previous chapters on visual gags, some good action set-pieces, and plenty of CGI." |

 "...short, breezy, circus-like (literally), light entertainment... all will be pleased by some dazzling circus acts, which provide thrills that go way beyond the storytelling per se." |

 "...darkly humorous... contains characters that do things that are simply unpredictable, though much of the movie is a re-telling of what actually happened." |

 "...a movie of singular touches and beautiful moments.... [but] the stunning images, set-pieces and special effects seldom congeal into a narrative that's coherent and involving..." |

 "...as generic and bland as the title suggests.... underwhelmingly written and overwhelmingly produced... a silly extravaganza... overextends its welcome by half an hour or so." |

 "...neither stylish and entertaining in the vein of the big-screen 'Sherlock Holmes' mysteries (past or present) nor dark or moody enough to qualify as a Gothic work." |

 "...while it lacks the savvy and political knowingness of such classic reunion films as John Sayles' 'Return of the Secaucus Seven,' and the sleek and poignant Lawrence Kasdan's 'The Big Chill,' it offers enough rewards..." |
