Excellent, Without a doubt!!
A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."
View MoreIt really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
View MoreThe story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

View MoreIn terms of plot, "Men in Black II" is vastly inferior to the original, as it is pretty much just the same song-and-dance, but this time without the "wow" factor of things being so new and inventive. However, director Barry Sonnenfield realizes this time around that the humor of Will Smith (and especially his interactions with Tommy Lee Jones) need to carry the show.For a basic plot summary, "MIB II" sees Agent J (Smith) now the lead agent of MIB. However, when an evil alien named Serleena (Lara Flynn Boyle) takes over MIB headquarters, J must retrieve the only agent who might know how to resolve the situation: Agent K (Jones).Though the first "MIB" effort was a 5-star flick because of its inventiveness, this one is a similar success because of the humor from beginning to end. When thinking back on the entire "MIB Trilogy", some scenes in this movie rank up there with the best of the whole series, such as J's interactions with "Frank the Pug", and the scenes in which J must re-acclimate K to the MIB life. Oh, and let's not forget the Worms, either ("Twister!").The filmmakers even manage to weave a bit of a human-interest story into this one, and the actors are all good enough to make it interesting and believable.Overall, then, while containing a much weaker villain and a meandering plot, "MIB II" is still a classic effort due to its sight gags and hilarious interactions between the two leads. Unless you take this franchise a little too seriously, you'll still enjoy this one as much as the first!
View MoreThe SFX and also the Makeup by Rick Baker are the Highlights in this Disappointing Sequel to a Surprising Mega-Hit Original. The first Men in Black (1997) captured the Imagination of the Public and the Fascination with X-Files Conspiracies and Space Visitors.The Fact is that Flying Saucer Enthusiast have received No Quarter from the Mainstream Media and have been Mercilessly Ridiculed beginning in the Early 1950's. That Ostracizing is at the Heart of the Comic and the Movies.The Men in Black Movies are based on the Malibu Comics. The Malibu Comic is based on "Real Life" Stories that have been around since the Mid-Fifties in Ufology."MIB II" seems as though it is Running on a Warp-Drive that is so Depleted it is having a Serious Spasmosis. Repeating and Regurgitating Ideas and Jokes Ad Nauseum. While it all Looks Great and is Bright and Colorful, it has a Numbing and Familiar Feel.Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones are put it Front of all the Glitzy Mayhem and Labor Their Parts until, like the rest of the Film, it just becomes Uninspired, Unfunny, and the whole project is left Hanging by Wires and Bobbing about from Scene to Scene. Tim Burton's "Mars Attacks" (1996) Succeeded in what this one is Trying to Do and Almost Fails, but Not Quite.There is Enough here to Enjoy in a Prefabricated kind of Product Placing Picture and some of the Homages to Ufology and Conspiracy Theories are Welcomed. Peter Graves Satirical TV Show is an Example as is the Video Store Setting.Overall, Recommended for Fans of the First Film who can Tolerate the Sequel being More of the Same but Not as Good.
View MoreI seen this one a very long time ago in the cinemas and I was just thinking about the film. This time around(pretty much similar to the 1st movie)an alien takes on the form of a Victoria Secret's model(played by Lara Flynn Boyle)who the CIA agents track down and the alien teams up with Johnny Knoxville who also plays an alien in this sequel. The special effects again are great, the acting is good and pretty much everything else is good.If you liked the first one than im sure you are gonna like this version too.6/10
