Here Come the Men in Black!

Rating: 9/10 (20 March 2020)

I've always loved the MIB movies. There's just something about a secret government organization protecting the earth with suits and high-tech blasters that I like. Or maybe it's the fact that Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones have great chemistry together. It's like they were born to play these roles.
My mother personally cannot tolerate these MIB films, and would rather watch MIB International. Yuck! But I love the original three. Especially this one!
Vincent D'Noforio (I hope I spelled his name right) Does amazing on his role as Edgar the Bug. Can we take a moment to appreciate the writers and how clever they were to introduce a bug as a villain and adapt that character from the MIB comics? I mean, when you think of a bug, you automatically think of something disgusting and something that has to be killed or dealt with. To have a villain that's the embodiment of that, and at the same time has his humorous moments is great writing. For some reason I laugh at these lines of his: "Listen Monkey Boy! Compared to you humans I'm on the top rung of the evolutionary ladder!" And "Good a war! That means for food for my family!"
Will Smith was allowed to improvise on his role in this film, and he has some good lines in this film. Even though my favorite character is Tommy Lee Jones as K, I have to admit. Will Smith is the ideal package, especially considering that Agent J in the comics was white and wasn't as fun.
I think it's very creative how they do the aliens in this film. The Bug wearing Edgar's skin and walking around in it may be disturbing for some viewers. It possible was for me when I first saw it, but I decided to see the creativity in it, and I enjoy seeing how funny he looks.
I currently own the MIB trilogy on Blu-Ray, and I always enjoy watching this fun movie about aliens and a secret government agency. It never gets old!
