Same Men, different world.

Rating: Null/10 (2 August 2002)

When I saw MIB 1 it was a balmy summer night in Florida. It seemed like a magical entertainment of alien whimsy out on the great American plain. Since then, the CIA /FBI have failed to spot the Al Qu'aida terrorists flying planes into the Twin Towers and the world consequently seems a sadder, less innocent place.
And so the whole premise for MIB2 has gone - the fact that the US had smart invincible agents to spot any world problems and solve them effortlessly. Our comfort blanket has been removed. The rest of the film is - yawn - special effects.
We've moved on. We've got real. The world has changed and we don't laugh so easily at stuff like this anymore.
