What a yawn

Rating: Null/10 (20 July 2002)

Couldn't watch for more than 5 minutes. Boring.
The first Men In Black was incredibly engaging from the instant the music began through the end. This one sucked with that stupid opening sequence with Peter Graves with "supposed-to-be-bad-special-effects" that were NOT funny, just lame.
Early on in the movie Patrick Warburton grabs something that looks like a dandelion from a city sewer grate, which turns out to be a piece of a huge alien that becomes angry at Warburton's grab. The monster jumps out of the sewer and chomps on Warburton.
In the first film the MIB were always careful not to let the public see aliens. If an alien was spotted, they had to bring in their "containment" crew to undo the PR damage. Here, they simply don't care who sees it.
Typically sloppy for a Hollywood sequel to simply disregard all the elements that made it a good story in the first place.
One good thing about this movie. Now I know to avoid Barry Sonnenfeld films. For a while after I saw Men In Black I actually thought he was a good director. Although I never got suckered into Wild Wild West (never appealed to me at all). Another good thing. I was able to get a refund for this film after the first 5 minutes and got to see another film.
