Protecting the earth from the scum of the universe...

Rating: 9/10 (10 August 2006)

''Men in Black'' is a great comedy and sci fi movie, that is not only part of my favorite movies of all times, but also very inspiring and entertaining. I am so glad that neither David Schwimmer and Clin Eastwood accepted the role of J and K , because I cannot imagine two better actors then Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones to play them! Will is so funny, while Tommy is sarcastic and ironic and they have an excellent chemistry as a team!
We can see many references made in this movie to ''E.T.'' and "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" and the end where a big alien is playing marbles with our galaxy is brilliant! I also learned after this movie, that existed actual ''Men in Black'' who were supposed to be in contact with UFOs, what was a big surprise to me, since I imagined it to be a creation of the director or writer.
Agent K is a member of an organization called ''MIB'', that has been keeping track of extra-terrestrial aliens on Earth for over 40 years as a police for alien activity on Earth. K needs a new partner and after knowing about the abilities of James Edwards, a NYPD officer, he sees that the guy has potential to be his partner. James eventually becomes agent J, being erased from the government's and society's records and receiving a new identity. With many funny scenes, specially from J trying to ''adapt'' himself to his new world full of aliens, both K and J needs to save the world from destruction with their high tech weapons. Their enemy is a ''Bug '', considered to be a plague and one of the worst aliens in the universe, and also a very large and disgusting cockroach.
