Why was this green-lit?

Rating: 1/10 (8 September 2012)

This is one of the worst films I've ever seen. Dialogue is repeated due to lazy writing. 'Funny' moments are always awkward and never funny. Action- packed moments are filled with paper-thin CG. Tommy Lee Jones is utterly under-utilized, his part in the film is essentially a cameo. Emma Thompson's part has the same problem. Josh Brolin delivers a good performance as always, but there's only so much you can do with a poorly- written character. The story is as ridiculous as it is contrived, and while that was one of the great things about MIB (the original), surprising your audience with a story so insane it's simply fun only works once; you can't repeat that practice and expect good results. I'll always be glad I didn't waste money on this in theaters and simply end by saying, 'what a piece of crap.'
