One of the worst movies I've ever seen

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

Men in Black 2 (2002) is of course the sequel to the ever popular Men in Black (1997). I liked the first movie, I wouldn't say that I loved it to the level that most did though. I actually did enjoy this sequel more than I did the first movie, which is an unpopular opinion, but I thought it was more entertaining. Tommy Lee Jones and Will Smith both reprise their starring roles and I loved both of them in their parts, especially Jones, who is very funny in this one. The villain this time around is played by Lara Flynn Boyle. Boyle plays Serleena, which is an evil alien that takes the form of a Victoria's Secret underwear model. I really loved Boyle and her portrayal of Serleena. Her look was perfect for the role. She was sexy, because of the underwear model thing, but she was also bad ass and she is one of my favorite villains. Johnny Knoxville is her sidekick of sorts, I didn't care for him or his character. He was meant to be humorous and serve as a comedic relief, but in my opinion it didn't really work. His character is more annoying that anything else. But to be completely honest, his character is really the only complaint I have about this movie. The writing is pretty good. I liked the humor, especially when it was between Jones and Smith. I also liked the action scenes for the most part. You for sure won't be disappointed when it comes to special effects and action. Overall I really enjoyed Men in Black 2 (2002) and I recommend it.

I can understand why they would want to make a sequel to MIB, but that doesn't mean they should've.This film falls into the trap many sequels do, in the sense that they try to do too much, whilst keeping true to what made the original work, and it in the end doesn't do either that well.There are starry cameos along the way, but they can't hide the fact that this sequel isn't that good.Smith and Lee Jones remain good in their roles, and their chemistry carries some of the film through its rough patches, but they can't paper over all the crack.

Five years after the original Oscar-winning "Men in Black", the story continues and the two main protagonists are played by Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones with Barry Sonnenfeld reprising his position as director. The main antagonist is played by Lara Flynn Boyle this time, a mean tentacle lady, while the good girl is portrayed by Rosario Dawson. About Flynn Boyle, she is fine for the most part, even not as great and memorable as D'Onofrio in the first one. Rosario Dawson felt really forgettable to me. She is basically a non-character for the entire film until the great revelation in the end. But it's really more the fault how the character was written and not Dawson's acting.I have a bit of a problem with the fact that they brought back Lee Jones' character here as a co-lead as it puts a bit of a question mark behind the ending and major parts of the first film in terms of his retirement being the right thing. Still I like him as an actor and that's why I am not too mad about it. "Men in Black 2" had some strong parts and some not so strong. Despite the scenario of the world possibly ending, it is still mostly a comedy with lots of science-fiction and fantasy impact, but never really a dramatic film. Thumbs up here as science fiction comedy is really a challenge and nothing we see that often. About the main antagonist, I found it a bit ridiculous that she could easily gain control over the agency, but still fails in killing the girl and the two agents. So is she really powerful or not?Anyway, as a whole this was a pretty decent watch. I think this film got a lot of unjust criticism because of the mere fact that it is a sequel. It does not feel as new and fresh again, but had this been the first film actually in a slightly altered version involving TLJ's character, then people would have appreciated it more I think. Even without an Oscar win or nomination, I enjoyed the watch. It is also never dragging and it was a good decision to keep it considerably under 90 minutes, actually only 80 if you don't count the credits. Well done for the most part and I will probably also watch the third at some point. Thumbs up.
