Fairly entertaining sci fi comedy

Rating: 7/10 (29 November 2017)

Men in Black (1997) is one of the most famous science fiction films ever. And it's probably what made Will Smith a notable actor. Men in Black is about a secret organization who polices alien activity. They know all about the alien world and keep earth and its inhabitants safe from danger when it comes to alien matters. This movie stars Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones. Jones is the elder agent in the organization and Smith plays the rookie, the new agent. The acting is skillful and I loved the way Jones and Smith both portrayed their characters. Smith does it in a very humorous way, and his comedic talent is really utilized in this film. Jones is still funny at times, but his character is very serious, but it works for his character because of things you find out about his past. I liked the screenplay alright. The really big thing that this film had going for it was the special effects, and it was good for 1997 at the time of its release, but to be honest they wouldn't be considered that impressive in today's world of cinema. The film has a very fun atmosphere to it and I would suggest it moderately. It's not the absolute best of its kind but it's still pretty fun. 7/10.
