Suffers from the sequel curse

Rating: Null/10 (20 July 2002)

Men in Black II was, to say the least, bad. To this day, I really have no idea why I saw it on opening weekend. I guess it was the hype talking to me in my sleep. The movie had no heart. Will Smith received somewhere in the neighborhood of $20 million to basically go through his lines. There was no uniqueness about the movie that made the original Men In Black so fun to watch. I think Tommy Lee Jones and Lara Flynn Boyle had the exact same face the entire movie. It really seemed like the movie was made just for money, and it appears to be working in that aspect. Sub-par sequel to a blockbuster movie + holiday weekend = big money.
The only time that my friends and I laughed during the movie was during the appearance of David Cross. He steals the scene and perhaps the movie. If you haven't seen him in Mr. Show, I suggest you track it down. Very funny stuff, unlike this brainless drivel.
4 out of 10
