Will Smith is back in action in “Men in Black III.” (Wilson Webb - Columbia Pictures) This week’s new movie releases bring the return of Will Smith and the “Men in Black” franchise, as well as a 19th-century rom-com about the inventor of — what else? — the female vibrator. Here’s what the Post critics had to say:

“Men in Black III” (PG-13) “Until Agent J ‘time jumps’ into the past — a trick that entails him leaping off the Chrysler Building — the movie feels flat-footed and lazy, reprising old jokes and sight gags from the two earlier films. It simply takes too long for things to get going.” — Michael O’Sullivan

“Hysteria” (R) “The film — directed with a sure hand by Tanya Wexler from an amusing script by the husband-and-wife team Stephen and Jonah Lisa Dyer — is no documentary. It’s happy to get the big facts broadly right, as long as it’s allowed to have a little fun with the rest.” — Michael O’Sullivan

“Polisse” (Unrated) “Except for an ending that veers unexpectedly into melodrama, the movie for the most part takes a frank, deadpan tone that serves its complex themes well.” — Michael O’Sullivan

“I Wish” (Unrated) “The original Japanese title of ‘I Wish’ translates literally, and aptly, as ‘Miracle.’ The endearing new movie by writer-director Hirokazu Kore-eda (‘After Life,’ ‘Nobody Knows’) does deal in marvels, although not of the parting-the-Red-Sea variety. It’s about the wonders of everyday life, and of childhood imagination.” — Mark Jenkins

“Steve Jobs: The Lost Interview” (Unrated) “Somewhat less epic than its grandiose title sounds, ‘Steve Jobs: The Lost Interview’ offers intriguing insights into the mind of the late Apple chief executive and high-tech visionary.” — Michael O’Sullivan
