A successful sequel, with some minor setbacks...

Rating: Null/10 (9 July 2002)

Well, this movie definitly has Sonnenfeld's offbeat signature, but was lacking in plot format. The only real problem with it was its repetative theme. As is the case with most sequels, it leaves a bit to be desired. Will Smith (Agent J) does his usual comic relief, while Tommy Lee Jones (Agent K) comes back with his (typically sarcastic) charisma. There are a few new faces thrown into the mix, as well as a few old ones. None of this, however, makes up for its lack of appeal. I was a little disappointed with this one, but not completely let down. I did like that the dog (Mannix) was given a wider array of jokes. I felt they could've done more with him in the first MIB movie, and I was glad they took the opportunity (in the sequal) to do so. Comedy-wise, this movie has basic leftovers. Plot-wise, it left me wishing there had been more. All in all, I enjoyed what was put together, but I think this one can be set aside until it's release onto video.
