Like adding insult to injury...

Rating: 1/10 (9 July 2002)

This film is an insult to moviegoers. It wastes your time, money, and brain cells on some cheap laughs and a severely unentertaining plot.
I, personally, am a big fan of Men in Black. Which is, of course, the reason I went to see the second. My rating is based upon these opinions: [1] The acting was as best that could be done with a script like that. [2] The story was long, blasé, and felt programmed. [3] The characters, new and old, were as full of stuffing as Laura Flynn Boyle's brassiere.
Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones' agents should receive a good tongue-lashing for letting them act in this "movie". I am sure that if Mr. Smith and Mr. Jones had read the script before signing on, they would have not participated in this joke of a sequel. They probably thought that since MIB was such a success, surely the writers would come up with a great sequel and make them more money! Jodie Foster had good intuition when ducking out Hannibal, the so-so follow-up to Silence of the Lambs; too bad these actors didn't do the same with their sequel.
Needless to say, I was more than disappointed. This distasteful fad of constant sequels and prequels going around in Hollywood is obnoxious and unnecessary. They are outnumbering and overpowering the originals popping up occasionally, which are doomed to be played down by the press. These excuses for motion pictures are getting increasingly abundant, and are injuring our vision between good movie and bad movie. I just hope that award shows' sight is a bit clearer.
My rating: 2 out of 10 (Not a one only because of the determined acting and very few chuckles it got out of me.)
