So much fun that it's one of the rare films which actually raises hopes for a sequel.

Rating: 6/10 (29 August 2010)

A young cop (Will Smith) is recruited by a top-secret government organization charged with monitoring the behaviour of alien life forms on Earth.
Men In Black is a lively, fast-moving event film that takes great care not to drown the engaging human players under its layers of (often witty) out-of-this-world effects. It received an overwhelmingly positive response from critics, and was followed by a 2002 sequel, Men In Black II. Following the film's release, Ray-Ban stated sales of their Predator 2 sunglasses (worn by the organization to deflect neuralyzers) tripled to $5 million.
