Men in Black (1997) - The Aliens! The Weapons! The Black! (Too Bad You Won't Remember This!)

Rating: 10/10 (17 September 2011)

Round up the weapons! Put on the shades! Strap on the suit! It's alien hunting time! "Men in Black" stars Tommy Lee Jones and Will Smith in a science fiction alien comedy about a group of men wearing black suits to protect the galaxy from extra-terrestrials. But here's the one thing you must understand: you won't remember what has happened later! I've always loved this movie as a child, and I still love it as an adult. I've always loved the premise of the movie when these men in black show up, if somebody sees a UFO or an alien encounter, and then they zap your brain, and you forget all about it. Although this movie was incredibly short, I was easily entertained throughout. Director Barry Sonnenfeld delivers a more unique movie that redefines the genre of science-fiction. I also really loved the performances by Tommy Lee Jones and Will Smith, and they also provided such a pretty great chemistry, which has later been dry in the future movies. Also, all the incredible alien make-up effects by Rick Baker are the best pieces of makeup I have ever seen, and Baker is the best in the make-up business. The visual effects are super challenging, and they are so much fun to watch on screen, when they seem to fit in with the sci-fi genre. I also enjoyed watching the talking pug dog named Frank, and some crack head worm guys which made me laugh a few times. The cast is well-acted, the effects are well-made, the art direction is totally dimensional, and the action in this movie, and the comedy, is a total must-watch to enjoy. If you are a science-fiction/comedy lover like me, you will not be disappointed with "Men in Black". I already seen this movie when I was little, and the thought of seeing it again, like it was for the first time, seemed so fun. This is not only one of the best sci-fi movies ever made, but this is also one of my favorite movies, as in like, ever! "Men in Black", in my review, "an excellent alien movie, with tons of deserving laughs".
