Enjoyable Extraterrestrial Experience!

Rating: 7/10 (21 February 2015)

One of my friends was recently appalled that I had not seen Men In Black. So after a long time with the intention of seeing it, I finally watched it and was pleasantly surprised. The chemistry between Tommy Lee Jones and Will Smith's characters was great and is what really made the movie. It was almost like a "buddy cop" film except in a sci-fi setting. The plot was unique and I especially loved all of the issued MiB gadgets. While it wasn't a masterpiece, it definitely kept me entertained with the humorous one-liners, alien creatures, and zany story. The complaints were few and somewhat expected from a sci-fi movie from the 90's. The effects and creatures were obviously aged and looked cheesier than I would have expected, but overall they weren't that awful. I also felt like the end was extremely rushed. It ended on a slightly sad note which didn't seem to fit, and they didn't really set up the final scene with J and his new partner very well. But in the end I would say it was an enjoyable experience.
