Different Movie, Same Script

Rating: 1/10 (10 July 2002)

Men In Black was a movie that I liked, although I am not a HUGE fan. It was a movie that was not really open for new ideas, and did not necessarily deserve a sequel. That being said, no movie deserves this sequel. It is a rehash of all of the worst elements from the first film. The writers apparently believed that the last five minutes were the best part of the first film, and they wrote a movie based on those five minutes. There is none of the wit of the first film present in this movie. Do yourself a favor and skip the movie because all of the best parts (if you can call them that) are in the trailer. This film was obviously made to make money, and I'm sure that it will succeed. It does not succeed, however, in entertaining the audience, but rather in ruining the memory of the first film. I'd like to suggest M$B as an alternate title to this film.
