Just how young and/or desperate are you?

Rating: 1/10 (7 July 2002)

If you are the brainless, easily entertained fan boy type moviegoer that Hollywood depends on these days, man is this the film for you. Only this isn't a film. It's 88 minutes of various ingredients that put together by filmmakers who actually give a damn about their craft might cook, but not this boring oatmeal. Imagine if someone gave you three raw eggs, some tomatoes, cheese and ham and called that an omelet. That is the nutshell of what MEN IN BLACK II is all about.
To put it another way, if you can remember back to '97 when the original came out then you should remember that it wasn't all that great either. But after a summer that started with SPEED 2, CON AIR and BATMAN & ROBIN the original was a nice diversion. If you want to see a film about humans defeating aliens intent on destroying the earth and are hellbent on paying $9 for the privilege, then see LILO & STITCH. Or at least give yourself some sort head injury.
