The Song Os Better Than The Movie

Rating: 7/10 (30 November 2017)

Continuing my plan to watch every Will Smith movie in order, I come to Men In Black (1997)
Plot In A Paragraph: A New York police officer (Smith) joins a secret organization that polices and monitors extraterrestrial interactions on Earth.
How do you follow the highest movie of the year, was the problem facing Will Smith, and truthfully he chose very well!! With the movie and the the song, he was everywhere!! But personally I've never really got this movie, I thought it was watchable at the time, and have never thought more about it when I have caught it on TV in the 20 years since. I always though the Will Smith song Men In Black, was better than the movie itself. The only thing I really enjoyed, was seeing Sly Stallone as one of the Aliens being monitored on a big screen.
Watching it back to back with Bad Boys and Independence Day. Will Smith's cocky act is beginning to irritate me a bit. I didn't notice it at the time, as in 1997, I dancing along in night clubs to his various hit singles like Getting Jiggy Wit it, Miami and the theme song from this. Isolated it didn't bother me, watching it them together, it's a bit tiresome.
Tommy Lee Jones is the best thing in this movie. His timing is perfect.
Men In Black grossed $306 million at the domestic box office, to end 1996 the 2nd highest grossing movie of the year. If it wasn't for Titanic, this would have ran away with it, as it was well clear of Jurassic Park 2.
