Another Example on What NOT to Do When Making a Sequel.

Rating: Null/10 (11 August 2003)

I saw this movie, aware of all the bad reviews, with the optimism that it may be enjoyable. Unfortunately it wasn't. There were good visuals, but that was what they put more time into, as opposed to story and characters.
The basic plot involves Jay (Smith) bringing back Kay (Jones) to help investigate Serlena (Boyle,) who is out to get the Light of Zartha. Good luck trying to decipher more than this. It's bogged down with clumsy dialogue and an over-emphasis on Frank the Pug. In the original, Jones' straight man played greatly off Smith's flamboyant character. Now it feels like they're squeezing the last drops out of these characters. MIB2's script isn't nearly as clever as the original, aside from one cameo, but this cameo could be declared obvious by some. The major twist at the end doesn't make any sense either.
This is the kind of movie made to make money off of a familiar name. Unfortunately they decided that was all they needed for this movie.
