The First Of A Media Franchise

Rating: 9/10 (1 June 2019)

Men In Black is a popular franchise that started out as a comic book by Marvel, but with this movie, it would spawn a franchise with sequels, a cartoon series and (as of this review) an upcoming spin-off film set in London.
In this film, NYPD detective James Darrel Edwards is enlisted into the M.I.B. after trying to bust a strange person who warns him the end is coming. Now known as Agent J, he is under the mentorship of Agent K, whose old partner has retired after an incident at the Mexican Border, the two have to save the world from destruction by aliens after an alien illegally lands and aims to get a device called "The Galaxy".
This is an awesome movie. Tommy Lee Jones and Will Smith do a good job as Agents K and J, and the aliens and special effects are well done for the year the movie was made. This is one sci-fi epic that breaks the mold, as it takes place in modern-day Earth instead of somewhere in space, like a space station or another planet. I recommend watching this.
