Slick, but not edgy.

Rating: Null/10 (17 February 2004)

Not a "bad" movie in my opinion - however it's not as edgy as the original. A point criticized by many is that the movie is "just another shape-shifting alien threatening the entire earth scenario" - but that's what MIB stories are SUPPOSED to be about.
Would it be a James Bond movie if 007 wasn't out trying to "save the world from another evil power-hungry megalomaniac"?
Poor Agent J - at least 007 gets the girl.
It's an entertaining movie, worth watching, but they weren't bucking for an Oscar here. Personally, I wouldn't mind if they DID make the "MIB" movies into a long-running series like they did with the James Bond flicks. Sure, you know that the good guys are just going to save the world from some nasty evil alien - but I'd be willing to pay six bucks to see how they do it.
