M.I.B. II Movie Review:


They are back. The men in black. And ready to kick some bad alien scum where it hurts in the sci fi action comedy sequel Men In Black 2. Agent Kay (Tommy Lee Jones) and Agent Jay (Will Smith) are at it again cause there is a new monster from outer space plotting to destroy earth.

The evil Serleena (Lara Flynn Boyle), a Kylothian has arrived and has disguised herself as a sexy lingerie model. In reality she is a powerful adversary with multiple snake like tentacles ready to devour anybody who gets in her way.

Her side kick is an irritating sleazy two headed freak named Scrad/Charlie (Johnny Knoxville) who has a regular size had and a smaller twin head that comes out of his backpack.

After Kay left the agency to work as a postmaster in a small town, Jay becomes the top agent who can’t keep any of his new partners for long. He even gets to work with a belligerent talking dog for a while until he is sent to retrieve agent Kay by MIB chief Zed (Rip Torn).

The reason the old team is back together again is because Agent Kay is the only one who possesses the key to stopping Serleena. That is if they can bring his memory back before time runs out for all humanity.

Since being neuralized, Agent Kay can’t recognize even his old side kick Jay and it takes a while to bring him back to his old self. Once that ‘s done it’s a race against the clock to save the world from destruction.

Some familiar creatures are brought back such as Frank the Pug, Jeebs the alien Pawnshop owner and the macho Worn Guys. There are naturally new grotesque creatures that include Flap Jack, Pineal Eye, Bird and Corn Face.

The theme of big bizarre designer guns, black suits and dark glasses is in full splendor throughout the movie and is put to good use most of the time.

Director Barry Sonnenfeld fires at you a joke a minute but only hits the funny bone about 20 percent of the time.

Even though Men in Black 2 seem a little water downed from the original, it still should please die hard fans and kids. It’s silly and ridiculous providing by and large minor laughs that most of you might find amusing but not exceptional in any way.
