I wish I could use a neuralizer on myself after seeing it!

Ok,
I just got back from watching MIB II and all I can say is, why did I waste my time? I should've waited for it to come on DVD. MIB 2 picks up 5 years after the first. This time around Lara Flynn Boyle is the baddie, who's acting was truly worse than her character. Each of the characters seemed lost within a world that both Tommy Lee Jones and Will Smith created in the first movie. I felt that it was totally rushed and there was no continuity throughout the picture.
It was nice to see Peter Graves in the film. I honestly thought that he'd passed on, but lord and behold, he's alive and well. There were elements within this film that I thought were good. Frank the dog was great comic relief, and the "worm guys" were cool for a chuckle or two.

The dissapointment came from the main characters, Jones and Smith. Each seemed to be trying to find more than the "light", they were trying to find the characters. Jones truly was not in character as "K" and Smith was trying to hard to be "J".
I truly felt that the story could've been better. The whole idea that K was in love with someone else just doesn't fit with his whole "view his love from a distant" in the first. Barry Sonnefeld shouldn't be blamed for the directing, the film editor should've been fed to the worm in the sewer.
Don't go and see this in the theatre, and if you have, build yourself a neuarlizer and zap yourself to forget this dissapointment.
