Summary: Wonderful.
Review: Almost as good as the first one. The special effects alone are worth the buy. Have already watched this several times and will keep on watching it.

Summary: The Stars Are for the Effects, Not for the Stars
Review: Actually, that's not quite fair -- Tommy Lee Jones rises above the material he's been handed (mostly, anyway -- the "I do the driving" sequence isn't very funny and doesn't redound to his credit) and actually manages to make some of the shtick he has to do more than merely competently funny.Will Smith, unfortunately, doesn't. In fact, he fully lives down to the weak script. In fact, films with Smith seem to play to the easy side of his characterisation -- the strutting blowhard who isn't nearly as competent -- or as funny -- as he likes to believe. Add to that that this film is pretty much a rehash of the first, and that the basic McGuffin is instantly obvious to fans of either the Tom Baker-era "Doctor Who" or the fifth season of "Buffy", and you have a recipe for a film that is fun to watch for the special effects, not particularly offensive, and i'm really glad i didn't pay for a ticket to see it. On teevee, as is often the case, some of the special effects that probably looked Really Kewl up on the big screen come across as not particularly impressive, particularly some of the opening subway sequence. The best thing on the DVD is a short feature entitled "The Chubb Chubbs" -- a shaggy dog story akin to the old joke about "Big John's a-comin'!", in which a crummy bar on some cheesy planet is populated by characters like ET, Darth Vader, Robbie the Robot, the Robot from "Lost in Space" and so on. ((Given the comic book origins of "Men in Black", i found myself irresistibly reminded of a series entitled "Tales from Munden's Bar" that ran in the back of "Grimjack" years ago...)) If you haven't seen this film and you were thinking of doing so, my advice is to watch the first film again, instead.

Summary: Surprisingly Good Sequel.
Review: When a Dangerous Alien takes the shape of a Beautiful Deadly Woman (Lara Flynn Boyle) threatens the Earth by Wanting a Subject that she wants. Agent Jay (Will Smith) springs into the Action but first Jay must bring back the Memoirs of a former agent Kay (Oscar-Winner:Tommy Lee Jones) back into the fold of MIB. Directed by Barry Sonnenfield (The Addams Family 1 & 2, Big Trouble, Men in Black) made a entertaining Sequel to the Original with Better Visual Effects by Industrial, Light & Magic (ILM). This is a fast paced sequel. Fun Performaces by Jones & Smith makes this worth seeing making this Sequel more than a Remake. DVD's has an terrific anamorphic Widescreen (1.85:1) transfer & an strong-Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound. The DVD 2-Disc Set has an Commentary Track by the Director, Alternative Ending, Outtakes, a short CGI film called:The Chubbchubbs that actually won an Oscar, Trailers & more. This is One of the Biggest Hits of 2002. This is worth seeing. Grade:A-.

Summary: great fun
Review: This movie is more of a continuation of the first movie than a sequel. Agent J (Will Smith) finds he needs Agent K's (Tommy Lee Jones) expertise on a certain case. But if you seen the first MIB, than you know that K was deactivated and went back to live a "normal" life. The first part of the movie is spent tracking K down and reloading the MIB info into him. One of the funniest scenes in the movie occur when J finds K running a small post office. You get to see the inside workings of the post office and it just made me laugh out loud.
Laura Flynn Boyle is the "bad guy" in this flick and she finds out something I've always suspected - you _could_ rule the world if you look like a "Victoria's Secret" model.
The extras on the dvd show how various creatures were made, deleted scenes and of course, various bloopers. This movie is not going to make you think harder about life but it is an enjoyable way to spend an evening. If you looking for great fun and you enjoyed the first "Men in Black", this is an excellent choice for you. Watch and laugh - laughter is supposed to be the best medicine.

Summary: Not News But Still Fun
Review: The first MEN IN BLACK (MIB) movie involved Agents J and
K (Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones) of the "Men In Black"
organization, a secret nongovernmental organization that
regulates aliens living on Earth, trying to deal with a
monstrous alien who is causing trouble and threatening the
very existence of our world. The MIB2 movie, in contrast, involves Agents J and K of
the MIB trying to deal with a monstrous alien (in the
form of Laura Flynn Boyle, makes sense to me) who is causing
trouble and threatening the very existence of our world. Now that sounds like a sarcastic remark, and it is, but
if MIB2 doesn't seem like it deserves a lot of praise, it
equally seems mean-spirited to pick on it. It's a sequel,
it's not supposed to be something new, so it's no surprise
that it's something the watcher has seen before -- it's
*supposed* to be. And it's well produced, with lots of snazzy special effects,
the story line clips along nicely, there's plenty of good lines
and humor, so it's certainly time well spent. In the end,
the script's not really much of a cut above the MIB cartoon
series that ran for a year or two (Agent J's pratfalls did
get a bit tiresome), but it's quite a bit spiffier, and I
have to admit I enjoyed myself. Given the constraints of being a sequel to a movie that wasn't
supposed to be taken seriously for an instant anyway, what
more could anyone expect? I'll sit through MIB3 if anyone
gets around to making it.

Summary: Ho-Hum comedy
Review: A mildy amusing film, which pretty much rehashes the same story. It gets a little tiresome and the plot was non existant (I'm sure it was somewhere, I just couldn't find it) Most part 2's aren't as good as the first one, this falls true for MIB too. It had some funny moments, especially about how all Post office employees are aliens. I got this DVD as a present, I don't think I would buy it...

Summary: Did I see the same film as everyone else?
Review: In light of all the recent negative reviews, I feel I have to say something about this film. This happens to be an excellent movie, loaded with laughs, great acting and, most of all, fantastic special effects. C'mon... You think the effects in this film are bad?!? If nothing else, Rick Baker and ILM, the leaders in their respective industries, do a stupendous job of realizing Sonnenfeld's vision. Yes, the plot is simple and flimsy... This is a si-fi comedy blockbuster, remember? Yes, the film is derivative of the first film, to at least some extent. But this is a sequel, right? Same characters, same design elements... I can think of MANY other sequels that are MUCH more derivative or their originals. I think people have grown far too accustomed to expecting their own, specific opinion of what a movie should be override their ability to enjoy an artistic experience. This film is at least as good as the original and certainly much better on a technical level.

Summary: the first is way better
Review: sorry but this movie just made me mad. I was eagerly anticipating watchin this movie as I had seen the first and really enjoyed it. Ok ive seen it now and I just have to say it is not up to the standards of the first. Its good and at times its a bit funny but for how long can a talking dog be funny? Its funny the first time, mildly amusing the second time it speaks and makes jokes but from then on you just wish it was out down. It isnt really funny and didnt make me laughing out loud like the reviews said it would. It was just a film. An average film and not even the soundtrack that will smith done for this film was played during the film, it was only played in the end credits which is useless. This whole fim was sloppy and tacky and it aint good enough. I wasted money renting it and I just hope they dont make another men in black after this.

Summary: Kes Evenstar
Review: It's a fun movie. J is only really J when K is near. Otherwise, he becomes K. I like this even better than the first. The coolest character, I would say, is Serleena. I can understand her motives more than the bug. And I know what a pain a corset-thing is. The heroine is a really cool, down-to-Earth kind of person. She adapts to her situation quickly. In this movie, they're mocking older movies and themselves. Don't you think "Frank and the Worm Guys" would be a great name for a band? Like "Orlando and the Hobbits." I want more of those alien perverts and Jeebs. We learn in this why dogs stick their heads out the window. It has great effects and is well made. I recognized the two-headed- guy from "Big Trouble" Who plays another dumb evil sidekick. Frank is too adorable for words. I felt sad at the end. Waaa!

Summary: Good action but not an improvement on the original
Review: MIB II features Will Smith as Agent J, taking the lead this time to save earth from a Medusa-like alien in the guise of a Victoria's Secret model, or in this case, Lara Flynn Boyle. Tommy Lee Jones' Agent K had his memory neuralized at the end of episode I, so it's up to J to recover his memory in order to save the day.
Smith and Jones don't bring anything new to the show this time. Jones looks more haggard from boredom than his usual cragginess. There were some funny moments, such as the zealous sycophants proclaiming J as their leader. I also liked the worms, with their low-ceilinged flat, SWAT team tactics, and bravery in the face of danger. I'm kidding about the last one.
The bloopers were funny, and I could see where working with Will Smith might be a crackup.
