Ughhhh....I just saw MIB II and I am very dissapointed.
First of all, all of the best jokes in the movie (save the tree monkeys in the locker and some other things I can't recall because I'm still fuming) are all given away in the trailer. This left nothing for me to be excited about while I was watching the movie. It was just a string of "Oh, here's that other part that I saw in the trailer". Sad that the marketing department made a mess of this movie. The first movie was marketed as a high tech sci-fi thriller that turned out to be a comedy, not so with this pile of trash. If you've seen all the previews, you've seen the entire movie. Sorry, but there's not much else to it.
I think the biggest drawback to the movie was the short time that they decided to put it into. It's a simple movie making rule. Don't try to cram too much story into too short of a time. That is a sure way to loose the audience. Characters are not allowed to develop and action sequences leave much to be desired.
Great special effects, boring plot, some good acting, and way too many plot twists.
4/10
