A mediocre plotline with good special effects

Rating: 5/10 (22 March 2000)

The 90s saw the emergence of excellent computer generated images being used in movies. Sadly the advances here, rarely went hand-in-hand with better stories and plotlines. Thus each year, dozens of films with awesome special effects accompany scripts that are exceptionally unsatisfying.

"MIB" is one such film and I haven't bothered seeing it again and probably won't. It even made me decide to avoid going to the cinema to see Science Fiction; I am never seeing another Will Smith star-vehicle movie again. I've realised he has no talent.
I strongly believe that computer technology is great for film. However, we're still finding ourselves more likely to be subjected to stuff like "MIB" than quality stories and endearing characterisations such as in "Toy Story" or quality black-comedy scifi like "Starship Troopers".
