The Gimmick Does Not Quite Work This Time.

Rating: Null/10 (10 October 2003)

Intergalactic disaster is about to occur as Kylothian monster Lara Flynn Boyle comes to Earth and immediately takes the Men in Black headquarters under siege. She is after a so-called light that could be used to destroy the planet and possibly allow her to over-take the rest of the universe. The only one who can stop her is former agent Tommy Lee Jones, who has been re-recruited by Will Smith to save the day once again. The first "Men in Black" was really not a very good movie, but it thrived on its lunacy and became one of the more charming successes of the past few years. "Men in Black II" still has some of that magic left, but just not enough to really make a lasting impression. The teaming of Jones and Smith is still brilliant casting, but the direction and screenplay ultimately end up failing the famed performers this time around. 2.5 out of 5 stars.
