much inferior to the original

Rating: 5/10 (24 May 2007)

here we have case of a sequel much inferior to the original.there are very few laughs in this movie.also,the filmmakers decided to make the film more serious.this is it's downfall.the formula that made the first one so successful was taking a comedic approach to the subject matter(alien invasion).i also thought the main villain was weak and uninteresting.there is less comedic banter between agent k and agent j(Tommy Lee Jones and Will Smith.the writing wasn't as clever this time around. and there's no sense of irony,which is what provided much of the humour of the first one.it's as if they used up all the good ideas with the first one.there are still some funny bits but not nearly enough.sadly this movie taints the franchise by going out on a low night.this is just another average movie in the genre.as a result, "Men in Black 2" is a 5/10 in my books
