aliens ! !
well , that is what this movie is about .
computer generated aliens .
ok , the movie is not just about computer generated aliens .
it 's about computer generated aliens and a secret organization known as mib .
if one was n't green and running around the other would not exist as it 's known .
the computer graphics in this movie are spectacular , they make you want to believe that aliens like the ones depicted exits .
since seeing this movie i have to agree concede that denis rodman is an alien , he simply has to be .
well , in all seriousness the aliens created here are not only of the monster variety but are also of the soft , squishy and cuddly kind .
just adds something of a lighter note to the movie where it could have become very dark .
along with aliens comes the humor and in a pretty decent way .
j , well soon to be j , a smart ass cop ( played by will smith ) runs down what he thinks is a would - be villain and gets some attention from the mib and k in particular .
k aims to recruit our poor j , but that is not the whole point of this movie .
the main duty of the mib is to police the extra terrestrials on earth who have chosen it as a home or a refuge .
that 's also the main point of this movie : protect the earth from the scum of the galaxy .
some of the scum from space is awfully bad and just down right nasty .
color commentary abounds when forced to deal with alien scum and none other than will smith and tommy lee jones are there to deliver the punch .
the dialogue is witty to say the least .
this wittiness lets the movie flow well from scene to scene developing the characters to the extent needed for this movie .
tommy lee jones ( as k ) and will smith ( as j ) provide
both the action and the comedy beautifully .
the characters they play do n't seem to be wrong in any way nor does their performance as them .
i would have to say that k is more amusing than j , but what 's one without the other .
both roles complemented each other very well and the script seemed to be written for these two actors .
the story also goes deep enough to provide a proper background so the audience is not totally clueless .
altogether good performances were put in by all the cast and the director blended everything marvelously with the necessary special effects to create a good movie .
a movie well worth seeing if you are up for some lighthearted and witty humor
.
as most movies have their good things they also have their bad things .
the character development in this movie was not all that grand because it did n't need to be .
but if there was more character development and if there was some development of the alien characters that might have added quite considerable to the movie .
especially the evil alien , he did need some work .
though this could have been worked on , the movie was what it proposed to be a rather shallow and witty comedy .
that was achieved rather well , with some interesting commentary and observations .
a movie worth a view , but keep in mind what the movie is and if you are not fond of will smith 's form of humor
then i would n't go .
