A Fantastic fun film

Rating: 9/10 (15 June 2019)

In preparation for the new Men In Black film, my intention is to go back and watch the first three films in the franchise. So i have now watched the orignial Men In Black Film and it is just a fun fanatstic easy film to watch. The premise of the film sees an experienced and novice special agent go on the hunt to stop an alien threat. Tommy Lee Jones plays Agent K in this film, this is one of the best roles that he has had in my opinion, he has such a dry sense of humour in this film that it really contrasts very well with Will Smith's sense of humour in the film. I can't see anybody else playing the mentor role in this film other thn Tommy Lee Jones' agent K in this film. Will Smith plays his partner Agent J and their chemistry is brilliant in this film, it really takes this good premise and makes it a fantatsic premise. When this film was made Smith was huge and he plays his usual self in this film but it really works as a juxtaposition to Jones character. I also really liked Rip Torn as the head of the MIB, he just has quite a bit of charisma for the role and it is enjoyable to see. Vincent Donofrio plays the villain in this film but I didn't like his character, he is a great actor but this role didn't work for me and actually felt quite childish in this film. I also didn't care for the female character in the film, she hasn't got much to do in the film and you don't really find out much about her. The story is great seeing this unlikely duo together in this fun universe dealing with an alien threat. The story moves at a very quick pace and it really works and makes this film such a fun enjoyable film. The script is great with a blend of humour and suprisingly good drama that rises this above your average buddy cop film. The style has some great unique ideas in it, the alien designs and tech are inspired and feel very natural in this universe. Overall this is a fantastic film that is the pinnacle of buddy cop films.
