MIB II is a another big, over-hyped sequel (NOTE: semi plot spoiler)

Rating: Null/10 (7 July 2002)

MIB II was not good. I really didn't go into the theatre expecting much and, believe it or not, I received less than I expected.
1. The storyline could have been better. let's see: J fights aliens. Aliens threaten Earth. J needs K. J finds K. J de-neuralizes K. K finds old clues. K stops aliens. I leave disappointed.
2. Running time is supposedly 94 min. That's if the 15 minutes of previews are included in the count. I glanced at my watch right when the movie started: 9:00pm. I looked at my watch at the end of the movie: 10:20pm (and that's giving an extra few minutes!). Hmmm....an 80 minute movie? Hell, I still had time to catch the upper arlington fireworks (it was July 4) when we exited the theater. I leave disappointed.
3. After leaving the movie (disappointed, remind you), I had a sudden urge to trade my verizon phone in for a sprint phone, and I really wanted a whopper from Burger King. Huh. I wonder if that was from the all of the adds that MIB II shoved down your throat. However, I went home and had a beer because I wasn't giving them the satisfaction of giving my money to their advertisers.
This movie seemed like the director had to look for ways to extend the running time. I seldom laughed, and when I did, it was merely a little chuckle. I didn't really laugh aloud once during the movie. On a positive note, the alien really knew how to pick a human disguise :)
Save your money for something more than 80 minutes.
