Episode 12: MEN IN BLACK II- Movie Review

                        Not exactly what I said in my review of the first one but at least I got the review done and up!

                                     Men In Black II is directed by Barry Sonnenfeld and stars Tommy Lee Jones,Will Smith, Rip Torn, and Lara Flynn Boyle. This time Agent J has to get Agent K's memory back so that they know how to stop the world from getting blown up by aliens. One alien in particular that has taken the form of a woman and killed someone in Agent K's past. If you have not seen the first one than you won't get the movie's story as much as you would if you saw the first Men In Black.

                            The problem that I have with Men In Black II is that it doesn't really do anything new. In the first film Agent K and Agent J had to stop an alien invasion and they have to do that again in this movie except the plot is explained for half of the films. I also didn't enjoy the visual effects because this was around the time when movies were starting to use CGI. The effects sometime look very fake and noticiable and sometimes it is okay. I miss the old practical effects from the first Men In Black. I also think that in the third fim, coming from the trailer, they are going back to practical effects that  make me have high hopes for it. I like the humor in this movie even though it was not as funny as the first. I'm comparing this movie to the first one because it doesn't try anything new.The chemistry between Tommy Lee Jones and Will Smith is back and is amazing even though Tommy Lee Jones wasn't in it for a long time. This movie is in my opinion, not as bad as people said it was. I am going to give Men In Black II a 6.5/10.
