How did they mess this one up!

Rating: 4/10 (11 August 2002)

After the brilliant MIB a sequel should have been a no brainer, they even managed to get the original cast, director and writers back so how they came up with this loud messy is anyones guess. Lets start with the plot, ITS EXACTLY THE SAME AS THE FIRST ONE. A alien menace crash lands on Earth looking for a super powerful weapon, MIB are also looking for it and if they don't get it off the planet blah blah blah... It doesn't even make sense most of the time and any decent ideas are wasted. It wouldn't be so bad if the script was packed full of funny jokes but you've already seen everything remotely funny in the trailer and the rest are ripped off from the first movie. The biggest let down here is the Smith and Jones partnership, Tommy Lee Jones looks like he's thinking of how to spend the money he was paid and Will Smith has fallen back on his Fresh Prince days. The chemistry and dead pan humor is AWOL and been replaced by school playground jokes and product placement (Burger King please go away), go and rent the original its much better. 3/10
