Fun, slight, belated sequel...

Rating: Null/10 (15 July 2004)

......I liked this more than I thought I would. Again as in the first-guys there's about 20 minutes or so MISSING. C'mon. There's an awful big Universe inside the MIB world--show us more of it, okay? What is there is pretty good as is.
Jones was flat. Smith was Smith. I always hate these belated sequels-Gremlins II, Ghostbusters II, etc--either make it w/in 3 years or don't bother. The momentum, good will and etc just seems to be lost between films otherwise.
The F/X were if anything very good despite some shakey tentacle shots. Those didn't work too good. Best parts though-well the locker aliens, the plethora of gross-out baddie aliens, the hispanic sounding worm dudes who liked playing twister, etc...you know the drill.
Laura Flynn Boyle barely registered despite herself, it was a role they oughta've expanded some. I enjoyed the 'Unsolved Mysteries' send-up w/ Peter Graves at the beginning, very funny indeed, dead-on.
I wouldn't mind a #3, but hope if so they don't wait another 5 years, and put more storyline into it.
