    Another great Spielberg production with great direction from Barry Sonnenfeld. With this movie, Will Smith once again proves why he's called "Mr. July".

    Will Smith at his wise-cracking best in the middle of his "Saving The World" run, and Tommy Lee Jones picture perfect as stone-faced dead-pan humor, along with a cast of dozens of warped aliens and great moments from Vincent D'onofrio, Rip Torn, a HOT Linda Fiorentino, and Tony S...( read more)halhoub

    A superb sci-fi comedy with great special effects and some wonderful chemistry between the two leads. Tommy Lee Jones is excellent in his role because he gives such a flat performance which makes him really funny and a superb partner to Will Smith's all out action man.

    Men in black is a great movie because it has almost everything from a witty script to some chilling moments. The actors are great and the action is even better. The director definitely let his imagination run wild and I had a great time going with him.

David Edelstein, Slate

The smartest, funniest, and best-looking sci-fi comedy since the movies learned to morph. full review

Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle

At times, it may succeed at manipulating you, but you won't like it. full review

May 11, 2001
Peter Travers, Rolling Stone

To quote the film's wisest alien, who just happens to be occupying the body of an ugly-ass pug dog, 'You don't like it, you can kiss my furry little butt.' full review

January 1, 2000
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

Men in Black continues this summer's tradition, already established by Con Air and Batman and Robin, of big-budget action pictures that at least have the wit to know how silly they are. full review

    Very good. I first saw this when i was fairly young so it has sentimental value to me. I consider it an old classic.
