A pale shadow of the first one

Rating: 6/10 (26 May 2003)

Since I did not bother to go watch MIB II in the theater, and just got the DVD out of the library, I watched my tape of the first movie as a refresher beforehand. This was probably a mistake, as it underlined what a severe decline the sequel was. With the exception of a few funny moments (the worm scene in the beginning was pretty good), most of the jokes seemed forced, as if someone attempted to recycle the humor in the first movie, without success. Let's hope that there is not a 3rd movie in the works (I can see it now, straight to video starring Damon Wayans and Tom Arnold *shudder*).
