THE MOST CARTOONISH OF THE TRILOGY BUT ALSO THE MOST FUN, ALWAYS LOVED IT.

Rating: 9/10 (22 July 2018)

Just as Fun this 2nd time around with Men in Black 2!!! Yes part 2 is definitely the most Cartoonish of the series but it's alot of good hearted fun.
A very fun filled fantasy-Comedy that is so underrated, but i loved it & it was really nice seeing Agent J & Agent K back together with alot of fun silly humour & some cool action, there's exciting fx & cool Aliens that make this a totally entertaining film.
I love "MIB 2" & have changed my mind lots of times of which Men In Black film i love best part 1 or 2, but i have to admit the best made film in the franchise is the 1997 Classic original but this extremely underrated Sequel is just as much fun, it just doesn't have the impact of the first film or a fantastic villain such as the Awesome "Edgar Bug" but both films are very special to me for different reasons.
There's alot of good elements in this sequel that i absolutely love such as the bigger role of Frank the pug & the more fun role of MIB boss Zed played perfectly by the legendary Rip Torn (R.I.P to one of the greats) & the beginning subway scene with Jeff the worm & the sweet relationship between Agent J & Laura (Rosario Dawson) & even evil Serleena is witty & good fun even though she's not as great as the excellent Edgar Bug from the first film, also the bumbling henchman Scrad/Charlie is a fun silly villain played by Johnny Knoxville, there's alot of fun & just great bits to enjoy in an entertaining & light movie.
Men in Black 2 is very much like the ridiculously underrated "Ghostbusters 2" & just like that great movie, such great films but so underrated.
When you Don't have all the origin story to tell you can get right into the new adventure & explore that world more.
I often prefer the sequels over the first films because there's no build up of origins story, we already know the characters so it's straight into the adventure & that's what i found fun with "MIB 2" & "Ghostbusters 2" both movies are excellent & both are less liked & extremely underrated of the franchises & both were made 5 years later.
I like what i like & have Never followed what boring "Critics" say or anyone else, i am my own critic.
I'm not saying "MIB 2" is a masterpiece or a Classic like the first film & I'm not saying it's perfect because it's not as the main villain is no where near as good as "Edgar" from the first film & some bits are too silly & childish such as as "Frank" the pug barking to the terrible song "Who let the Dogs out?" I can't stand that song!!! & some of the humour is abit too kid-friendly but those are miner small complaints for an otherwise easy watching fun film.
"Men in Black 2" has always been so underrated but i genuinely loved it, when it came out i remember going to watch this at the cinema on my own but i didn't care because Will Smith was & still is my idol & childhood hero, i was obsessed with the first film so no way was i going to miss part 2, also i love the look of the warm summer night time scenes of New York City it's beautiful, also the warm chemistry is there again when K comes back & the always great "Will Smith" is fun silly & at times deeply thoughtful & emotional, it's a calmer more lost & lonely version of Agent J in this sequel, he's had other partners but none last & or have the chemistry he had with Agent K, it's a nice warm performance by Smith.
I love the scene where J sits on a bench after a battle in the subway with the alien "Jeff" & he's sat there feeling so lost in the universe & it's a nice summer night in the lit-up beautiful city, it's just a lovely touching little scene, it's bits like this that make me love this movie more & respect it's fantasy & emotional stuff even more!!!
I also think i have such big love & Nostalgia for this particular movie because i watched it so much at different times in my life, MIB 2 became a comforting movie for me as i remember feeling so lost & lonely in the world just like "Agent J" at the beginning of the movie, i kinda related to the character & Will's performance, it's a special film to me.
I consider the "MIB TRILOGY" to be my favourite movie "Trilogy" as i loved each film & the 3rd film wrapped it all up really nicely, it's an excellent set of films except now there's a 4th film making this a full on franchise, "Men In Black International" I've not yet seen as it won't feel the same without Agents k & J!!! Maybe i will give it a watch at some point? Could be good?
But the original Trilogy is pretty much perfect in my opinion.
There's something special about Will Smith for me though as i grew up with the "Fresh Prince of bel air" & his excellent rap music, so Will Smith is something of an icon to me & abit of a positive role model, his films have gotten me through some tough times & MIB 2 along with I,ROBOT are probably the most important films of his to me for personal reasons, those two flicks I've watched so many times at my most lost & loneliest but "Big Will" was there keeping me comforted but also now Suicide Squad is another favourite of mine.
Movies are special to people for many reasons & MIB 2 holds a very special spot in my heart.
Mib 2 is alot of fun & has a nice goofy tone to it but still has some dangerous situations like the first Classic but made more family friendly & goofy, but that great chemistry from Smith & Jones is still perfectly there.
The colourful production design & visual look is fantastic.
I remember buying mib2 as soon as it came out on video & i think i must have watched it nearly every night during that summer!!! It became my late night go to film so yes i still love this underrated sequel.
Men in Black 2 became a "COMFORT FILM" to me, by that i mean it's one of the films i nearly always put on if i just want to chillout & have something "feelgood" on in the background that's nice & familiar or even to watch when i can't decide on something i usually put on MIB2, it's nice seeing K & J together & just a joy watching them together & the nice chemistry & flow & music of the movie is really nice & relaxing, it's a nice fantasy escapism flick & i can forget about the dark real world for about 80 mins & just see something fun.
A nice sequel & nice to see my old buddies again on screen Agen K & Agent J.
I adore the MIB franchise, i probably have watched part 2 the most & really have a big soft spot for that sequel, probably my favourite if i had to pick one out of the fantastic trilogy but not the best made that goes to part 1.
