  Not on the same planet as the original, no pun intended.

  As the first Men In Black film was enjoyable, this one is a pretty poor conceived sequel to a fairly good movie. The film is disappointing because it the potential to being something good, but it failed to capture the fun of the original film. I felt that this sequel was rushed, and lacked the creative elements that made the first film fun. The film is very silly, and not in a good way. The characters presented in the film are terrible, and some ideas are recycled from the first film. This is just a poorly made sequel to a good film. Either a sequel is good or isn't. Men in Black II is a bad sequel with bad performances. This sequel is lazy, uninspired garbage, and if you've enjoyed the first one, pass up on this one, because there's simply nothing going on that's good. In fact, the film is quite boring and it doesn't do anything good whatsoever. I think it's a real shame because they could've done something really good with the ideas in this sequel, but they fall through halfway through the film. The cast here are wasted and most of them are plainly awful. One performance that's very bad is that of Rip Torn, I was watching him go, and wonder what the hell he was doing. Men in Black II is a terrible film with a bad script, bad acting and a semi decent plot. If it was reworked a few times, I'm sure this film wouldn't have been as bad as it is, but it's a much uninspired, boring sequel to a good film. If you like the first film, pass up on this trash, you'll save your time.

  Not as good as the original but hardly a misfire. The most entertaining moments are watching Jay and Kay's repertoire with each other. There's also enough fresh material to keep the audience laughing even though a lot of the core elements are recycled from the first. The… More
  Not as good as the original but hardly a misfire. The most entertaining moments are watching Jay and Kay's repertoire with each other. There's also enough fresh material to keep the audience laughing even though a lot of the core elements are recycled from the first. The story? Well, it's very MiB but why change a working formula?

  This film was terrible, a huge disappointment. This time around Agent J (Will Smith) and Agent K (Tommy Lee Jones) have to stop another alien threat to the planet after she takes over HQ. This film had a plot so crappy I can't even explain, it focuses mainly on crappy jokes, horribly annoying aliens, and Will Smith. Its so dumb in fact you don't even remember what this movies about, only the stupidity. Will Smith isn't good, the film tries so hard at the start to make him look smart, but then when Tommy Lee comes on screen the movie tries to make him a dumbass again. What can I say, Tommy Lee Jones is the same as the first, straight face and serious attitude. Effects wre very cheesy and cliche, I believe this because I could see the green screen whenever they used it and if I couldnt it was still cheesy and totally Hollywood. They don't even try anymore, all these aliens look like drawings from at 3 year old boy. Johnny Knoxville plays a two headed villain whos a fool, THEY ARE F#CKING UP MEN IN BLACK! Lara Flynn Boyle plays the main villain Seerlina, the alien who transforms into her body after seeing a playboy magazine....... WTF? I hated this movie, horrible effects, plot, characters, and jokes, and I know im right.

  Less-than-excellent sequel, that offers decent entertainment value, but also a whole lot of lameness. I mean, Johnny Knoxville as a two-headed alien? Not the best of ideas there, nor casting for that matter. Thank God for Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones though. They can lift the weakest of scripts to something really worthwhile. Can't wait for the third film, which I hope will land more close to the awesomeness of the original.

  Here come the men in black... galaxy defenders. What's not to like?

• KJ P

  
  Not even close to being as fresh as the original MIB film, however it takes the story of the first one, sends it to the future, and does the best possible job that a sequel is capable of doing as far as a duel franchise goes! Very Entertaining!

  Was there Micheal Jackson in this movie? I was shocked when I saw him there. Didn't check who else was in it. This movie was quite entertaining like the first one. Watch it. Will Smith is in it ;)

  Yeah, this was no near the intelligence or sophistication of the first, but it was still a lot of fun. Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones were still great together and a lot of their moments were great. Laura Flynn Boyle is an amazing villain too, she definitely makes the plot work as… More
  Yeah, this was no near the intelligence or sophistication of the first, but it was still a lot of fun. Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones were still great together and a lot of their moments were great. Laura Flynn Boyle is an amazing villain too, she definitely makes the plot work as much as it does. I think it was just a little too goofy at times and didn't really have that extra something that the first has. However, it was a sequel and ultimately couldn't be as original or fresh no matter how good it was.

  One of my "I don't wanna think so let's put in a crappy movie" nights. Boy, did I get this one right. I honestly think the first one was much better, it at least tried to be serious, as this.... did not. Light of Sgjonewrv? Or whatever? Please. Did you get that out of a Ed Wood film? I still like all these actors, but I think 2002 must have been a slow year...

  A poor sequel.

• Jason O

  
  Also went to the theater to see this one. Unlike the original, this one was a disappointment to me. It's alright in parts but overall a disapointment and not nearly as original or funny as the first.

• Thomas B

  
  pretty good. not as good as the first

• Josh L

  
  Not as good as the original, but I still found it be a an entertaining and worthwhile sequel.

  Agent J: Kid? While you were off licking stamps I saved the world from a Crelon invasion. Kevin Brown/K: The Crelons are the Backstreet Boys of the universe. What'd they do, throw snowballs at you? Watching this again on TV it stands as a somewhat enjoyable, but completely… More
  Agent J: Kid? While you were off licking stamps I saved the world from a Crelon invasion. Kevin Brown/K: The Crelons are the Backstreet Boys of the universe. What'd they do, throw snowballs at you? Watching this again on TV it stands as a somewhat enjoyable, but completely forgettable and unnecessary sequel. Pros involve Smith's charm, Jones' dialog, more cool visuals, and a very good looking Rosario Dawson. Cons involve a lame story and blatant product placement. Agent J: Jarra, you are under arrest for being that ugly, and for making that many copies!

• Lady D

  
  Probably as enjoyable as the first one, a chilled, laid back, watch it happen kind of film.

• Lewis C

  
  Doesn't compare to the original, but Rosario gives it a boost.

  A synopsis would be a complete waste of time because, let's face it, we all know what this film is about. It's about milking the cash cow. Moo. It has jokes that involve juxtapositioning the mundane with the ridiculous. It has pregnant pauses aplenty. It has Will Smith bickering with Tommy Lee Jones. And funny looking aliens. Ho de ho. Is it a terrible film? No, it isn't. Is it unbelievably lazy and soulless? Yes it is.

• Al S

  
  Just as good as the original. Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones are back and better than ever. Bringing on more non-stop fun, awsome speacial effects, outragious comedy and great action. Hilarious, enjoyable and very exciting.
