I like the MIB cartoon a lot better

Rating: Null/10 (7 August 2003)

This movie was way too over the top. All the mystique that the MIB agency had in the first was lost in this one. I mean, there was a Burger King in their central terminal thing, come on! The only part that seemed to maintain the quirky mystique from the first film was the beat boxing post office workers, that was truly clever. Frank the dog, however, was irritating and unfunny; seeing a dog in a suit singing I Will Survive doesn't make me laugh! Normally, I'm a big fan of special effects, but not in this case. The effects were plentiful and all horribly done. Jonny Knoxville's character looked especially bad with the neck moving in the most unnatural way possible. The subway scene *could* have been good, but that too was ruined by bad special effects. I just gave up once the cars and spaceships started flying everywhere, but I'll bet all the kiddies got a kick out of the PS2 controller Wil Smith used to fly the car.
I wish the writers had looked to the MIB cartoon. That cartoon had better plots, better acting, and better effects than MIB 2 did! It didn't try to turn quirky dead-pan into goofy "Fresh Prince" one liners like this film did!
