Not quite as funny as the 1997 first movie, but still a very funny movie overall.

Rating: 7/10 (8 July 2002)

Back in 1997, after the huge success of Independence Day, (A film I will never watch again, it's THAT stupid!) I was not a fan of Will Smith. His television show was annoying to watch, and I didn't like any of his films with the exception of Six Degrees of Seperation to which he tried some dramatic roles and succeded, (Far better than he did with Ali) However, with the original Men In Black, I actually liked Will Smith as his charming personality won me over. I liked the chemestry between Smith and Tommy Lee Jones as secret policemen who protect the Earth from the scum of the universe.
Now it's five years later, and both Smith and Jones put their black suits back on for more alien busting in Men In Black II. Now while the sequel doens't have the freshness of the first film, it has a lot more action and I actually liked the action packed ending more than the slow finale of the first film. Smith and Jones are a joy to watch and I'm sure America will be watching Men In Black sequels as long as they continue to make money at the box office. (Please, Will, don't make an Independence Day sequel, though, that movie was awful!)
In any case Men In Black II is a funny film, that while not as original or fresh as the first film, it does have a lot more energy than the first one does.
7 on a scale of 1-10.
