*1/2 out of 4.

Rating: Null/10 (4 September 2002)

Bland sequel to the hit original finds Wil Smith having to recruit Tommy Lee Jones out of retirement to help him defeat an evil alien (Lara Flynn Boyle) intent on world domination. Big effects, big sound, big cast used to little effect. Smith and Jones seem to be just going through the motions. Rip Torn can basically play his role in his sleep. Johnny Knoxville and Rosario Dawson are wasted. Lara Flynn Boyle manages to be effective and nasty as the main villian, but she isn't enough to save this film. The various surprise appearances add up to very little.
Rated PG-13; Violence and Profanity.
