Summary: AWESOME SEQUEL!!!!
Review: This is a really awesome sequel to the first one and delivers it's promised goal, entertainment.

This movie is about another alien creature by the name of Serleena who threatens to destroy the Earth if the Men In Black don't give it to her. The two men In Black are separated because Agent J (Tommy Lee Jones) had his memory erased after the previous events and Agent K (Will Smith) now has to revive his old memories in order to save the Earth from destruction.

This is a really fun sequel and is a DVD that is worth buying!! The extras are great as well!

Summary: Blah,Blah,Blah,Blah,Blah,Blah...Same old thing again?!!!
Review: Blah,Blah,Blah,Blah.Ok,yeah...This movie...It was really horrible...It was the same old thing...The aliens come to the Earth...The Men in Black go and capture them...To keep them anonymous amongst the people;who live amongst them.Well, most of the aliens at least.Anyways,The first one was good actually it was really good i give that one 5 *****,but the second one...well,I give it 1* for being so lame and monotonous. The only reason why I watched the second one is to see Will Smith and Frank the dog.Thinking it would have a better plot to it rather than the same old thing. Just like Jurrassic Park it was good after the first one,but after they made a part two and three,it was just the same old thing,they discover new dinosaurs, they create an island for them to live on and then, the dinosaurs go and attack the humans better and stronger than before.BORING!!!!!! Nobody wants to see the sequel to a movie if the plot will be a monotonous one. so please, if you're going to make a sequel to movie, think of new and better plot before releasing it to the public. Thanks.

Summary: Not bad at all
Review: Most sequels are simply excuses to cash in on the success of an original blockbuster entry in a promising franchise, and "MIB 2" is no exception. However, the joke herein is that this film is nothing more (or less) than a faithful, witty continuation of the ideas begun in the original "MIB". Is it as effective? No, of course not, much like "Rocky 2" was not as effective as "Rocky". That unique spark of theatrical originality that all initial entries have is gone.Is it worth seeing? Absolutely. "MIB 2" is funny, fast paced, and very enjoyable. There are far worse ways to spend your time. If you're a die - hard fan of "Men in Black ",I suggest picking up this dvd. This is good stuff. Definitely makes the idea of a "MIB 3" worth waiting for.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: I Like It!
Review: I love this movie just as much as the first Men in Black. It's just a fun little SciFi piece of entertainment. Others have given this movie low marks here because it is only 88 minutes long for some reason - thank goodness! All movies don't have to be 3 1/2 hours long. Overall, I like this movie - it's just plain fun. And it looks outstanding ( Superbit Version ) on a good DLP home theater projector!

Summary: Whoa...What a disappointment from the first one
Review: This movie was terrible compared to the first one. The story went too fast and it was too short. Thank God I only rented it and not bought it.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Good, but not as good as the original
Review: It's a good story, but I wish they wouldn't have Frank around so much. And I wish they kept the uniforms and glasses from the end of the first movie. And again, they release the same thing so many times on diferent DVD sets.

Rating: 5 stars

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: The Men in Black are back!...But not better than ever.
Review: I give Men in Black II a score of 2.5 stars out of 5.

Well,the men in black are back,but not better than ever.This movie isn't that great.Its slightly entertaining though,and some parts are sort of funny.The storyline is not very great though which means the movie isnt that great.Its not a total disaster but its far from being good.If you don't see Men in Black II your not going to miss anything special but if you do see it then you might have a slighty decent time watching it.I would say you should rent it.Its not worth buying though.Oh yeah,and one more thing,Johnny Knoxville is in this movie.Just wanted to tell you that.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: passable, but still ... sequel
Review: I sat through MiB2 and enjoyed it, yet realized early on that the flick just retreads the first movie in just about every way - including some of the things that the first film balanced out with its then new premise. For anybody who forgot (or has been "neuralized"), the MiB are a hyper-secret security force that monitors alien movements on Earth, while preventing anybody else from here from doing the same. The joke is 2-fold: while hidden, the aliens themselves are so prevalent among us that there's no mystery to them at all, and the fact that Earth is surrounded by myriads of powerful and oft hostile alien civilizations is an acceptable fact of life, as long as nobody on Earth finds out about it. The punch-line of each joke is that, if you think somebody's either an alien or one of the Men in Black, you're probably right (pop-stars, mail men, politicians...) The other joke is that MiB is the latest in a short line of filsm that combine the esoteric (alien civilizations) with the mundane (a huge government bureaucracy with no oversight) - the other great example was "Ghostbusters", with pre-modern demigods and the legions of the dead having to battle a group of guys little different from household exterminators.

As in the first flick, the joke works too well - if aliens are Earth's worst secret, why bother to keep it secret at all? (The joke might work if the script gave our heroes more inventive ways to keep spectacular extra-terrestrials secret, instead of merely wiping clean the minds of witnesses using handheld flash-bulbs called "neuralizers") As in the first flick (deja-vu?) Agent J (Will Smith) and Agent K (Tommy Lee Jones) must prevent an evil alien from obtaining a powerful weapon with which to conquer the universe. Only Agent K knows the location of "The Light" - which was thought to have been launched into space by K years ago (in an incident comparable to an interstellar Potstdam, and immortalized in a cheesy amateur documentary by underground UFO watchers). Seerlana (Lara Flynn Boyle) - an evil alien who manages to stay sultry even when she's got tendrils sprouting from everywhere - wants the light, and moves to conquer MiB HQ in her bid to extract its location from K's mind. (The ease with which she overruns HQ is only one more sign of the script's lameness).

Unfortunately, as in the last film, the script's conceit works against itself: the MiB work so hard to convince you there's no alien menace, that you begin to believe them - and soon forget the story. Spectacular FX are undermined by our everybodys' unwillingness to be bowled over by anything. The script does make great use of Tommy Lee Jones as the perfect interstellar bureaucrat and Will Smith as the "new hotness". The story could have used more of Rip Torn, and whatever Linda Fiorentino asked for, they should have paid. In short, I finished this flick wondering if I'd been neuralized.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: By Will, I Think He's Finally Got It
Review: While I nearly fell asleep in the movie theater watching the first "Men in Black", the second "Men in Black" was able to hold my attention and even entertain me. In "Men in Black II", Tommy Lee Jones and Will Smith reprise their roles as secret agents, K and J, employed in protecting Earth from alien bad guys.

The sequel picks up where the first left off, K has been neuralized and is working at a post office in Massachusetts while J has become the MIB's top agent. J has been teamed up with Agent T (Patrick Warburton), a gung-ho former marine looking to be a hero.

Not long after J has to neuralize T an alien named Serleena (Lara Flynn Boyle) lands looking for the Light of Zarath (what I can only assume is some powerful weapon). Only K knows the secret of how to stop her (or it). T has to find and de-neuralize K before time runs out.

The reason I think that this "Men in Black" is far superior to the first has almost everything to do with Will Smith. This is the first movie I've seen Smith do where I didn't find him to be both in over his head and obnoxious. He reads his quips with a certain degree of professionalism in this film that has always been lacking with him. I would say that he didn't know how to deliver a line but that certainly wasn't the case on his television show. Perhaps he has finally found his feet on the big screen.

"Men in Black II" is filled with the strong assortment of odd characters you would expect in a film like this. Oddly enough, the most interesting of these odd characters is a talking pug named Frank (voiced by Tim Blaney). Another nice 'performance' is given by the worm guys Sleeble, Gleeble, Neeble, and Mannix.

Don't look for Earth-shattering film making in "Men in Black II" just a fine little film that you can actually enjoy.
