Men in Black II (2002)

This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

OK this movie is so perfect It has the silly stuff from the comic book And the characters are more interesting than usual I love the Michael Jackson cameo The villain is so unexplained creepy and random type like the comic Don't listen to the haters they did not enjoy because they didn't read the comic book

Five years after the original Oscar-winning "Men in Black", the story continues and the two main protagonists are played by Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones with Barry Sonnenfeld reprising his position as director. The main antagonist is played by Lara Flynn Boyle this time, a mean tentacle lady, while the good girl is portrayed by Rosario Dawson. About Flynn Boyle, she is fine for the most part, even not as great and memorable as D'Onofrio in the first one. Rosario Dawson felt really forgettable to me. She is basically a non-character for the entire film until the great revelation in the end. But it's really more the fault how the character was written and not Dawson's acting.I have a bit of a problem with the fact that they brought back Lee Jones' character here as a co-lead as it puts a bit of a question mark behind the ending and major parts of the first film in terms of his retirement being the right thing. Still I like him as an actor and that's why I am not too mad about it. "Men in Black 2" had some strong parts and some not so strong. Despite the scenario of the world possibly ending, it is still mostly a comedy with lots of science-fiction and fantasy impact, but never really a dramatic film. Thumbs up here as science fiction comedy is really a challenge and nothing we see that often. About the main antagonist, I found it a bit ridiculous that she could easily gain control over the agency, but still fails in killing the girl and the two agents. So is she really powerful or not?Anyway, as a whole this was a pretty decent watch. I think this film got a lot of unjust criticism because of the mere fact that it is a sequel. It does not feel as new and fresh again, but had this been the first film actually in a slightly altered version involving TLJ's character, then people would have appreciated it more I think. Even without an Oscar win or nomination, I enjoyed the watch. It is also never dragging and it was a good decision to keep it considerably under 90 minutes, actually only 80 if you don't count the credits. Well done for the most part and I will probably also watch the third at some point. Thumbs up.

Men in Black was great. It's humor was incredibly clever and it was really fun. The second one on the other hand just kind of failed to deliver. It wasn't horrible or anything, it was just kind of a disappointing sequel. Luckily 10 years later Men in Black 3 redeemed the series, and all was forgiven. Men in Black 2 still had clever jokes, they just weren't as common as the first. Well let's look at the plot. A Kylothian named Serleena (Lara Flynn Boyle) has come to Earth to look for the Light of Zartha and stir up trouble. Agent J (Will Smith) needs help to stop Serleena, due to his habit of memory erasing his partners when they don't meet his standards. The only man capable of J's partnership is the now retired Agent K (Tommy Lee Jones). J has to go find K, restore his memory, and stop Serleena. This story should have been more humorous than it was. And don't get me wrong, it had funny moments, many of which were cleverly done. But the first film does it better than this one. If you're curious to see a follow up, then check it out. But if you want a clever comedy, the first and third films just do it better.

I 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
