*Sigh* typical sequel

Rating: 4/10 (20 August 2006)

When will the studios learn? Sequels almost always stink in comparison with the original film. MIB2 is, unfortunately, no exception. As soon as I saw that stupid dog, I just knew it was going to talk. It was inevitable. I had no idea it would be such a major character. Dumb. This film is not nearly as entertaining as the first one...typical sequel fare. The good guys are largely the same but the aliens are different this time, and the stakes are higher. However, the film's writing is poor and inclusion of a talking dog is totally stupid. There's a decent bit of action in this, as you'd expect from a Will Smith film. Tommy Lee Jones is back as K (once his memory has been restored) and Rip Torn's back as Zed. And all of them are decent enough in the acting department. It's the script, basic story and screenplay that leave this one wanting. Sorry, but this film's a stinker.
