Entertaining, but lightweight compared to the original.

Rating: 4/10 (24 July 2002)

MIB2 makes for a really good summer diversion, but like many sequels, feels like a lightweight reproduction of the original item. Tommy Lee Jones' return to duty as a MIB introduced an interesting subplot that fills in the story behind the story. But I was disappointed in the focus on Laura Flynn Boyle's wonderful looks over the substance of her mission, which was never fully clear to this viewer. Perhaps I was distracted by her Victoria's Secret wardrobe!
