smith + sonnenfeld arggggggggghhhhhhhh

Rating: 5/10 (4 August 2002)

men in black hit the cinem's in 97 to both critical and commercial acclaim! quite rightly , taking on the old mis-matched couple , jones as the old and experienced agent k and smith as the new hot headed youngster agent j! the original was a parody of 50 alien invasion movies and worked well with its shrap wit and slick graphics!
we start with j(smith) neautralyzing his new partner, which is a particularly nice machine which wipes a persons memory, and k(jones) working for the post office in some very scary socks! soon thanks to the intervention of the multi snake-headed alien shapeshifter serleena (the sultry lara flynn boyle) k and j are brought back together to reprise the chemistry of the original. the film is very much the same as the original, except it isnt as fresh and isnt as funny, it is like an identikit movie. i cant really rememeber laughing out loud at this movie, the odd chuckle was raised but if the film would have gone on for longer than its poorly 88 mins, i would have become bored!
undoubtedley the men in black will be back , at what cost to its stars and the original?
