I rarely look forward to a sequel, but trailers for MIIB looked great so I happily settled down to watch the DVD.
The basic story sees Will Smith fighting to keep the Earth safe without Tommy Lee Jones, who has retired to work for the United States Postal Service, a place where, as I'm sure you all know, most visitors from other planets are able to find work. I must admit, if I was a United States Postal worker I might be a little offended by the stereotyping in this film, so offended in fact that I might just 'go postal'!
The film really gets going when Tommy Lee Jones is back in the saddle having been de neuralised by the re-appearing head guy from the first movie, as only he can save us all. Without his calm efficiency Will Smith seems a little lost.
Some characters from the original movie are back, bigger and better than before. The talking dog, Frank, takes up a temporary role as Will Smiths partner, and the smoking worm guys get their own flat, in which they can entertain women by playing Twister (you probably need to watch the DVD to find that anything other than just plain disturbing).
The new baddie is interesting, if more than a little gross in her Medusa-like moments. Arriving on Earth she takes on a new form, and for a brief moment I finally saw on screen a woman who looks just like me when wearing Victoria's Secret underwear (that's disturbing with or without seeing the film!).
MIIB answers plenty of questions for me, particularly the one about "what the hell is up with that Jonny Knoxville guy?". He plays a dim witted alien who owes more than a little to Zaphod Beeblebrox. Interesting cameos from Michael Jackson, sadly held back by Men in Black's failure to have an alien affirmative action programme and an intergalactic Martha Stewart (pre-prison) added to the fun. I certainly won't risk dropping litter on the tube again, now I know what happens to it.
Zaphod was joined from the Hitchhikers Guide by a scene in which a scale error almost results in an invasion fleet being eaten by a small dog. The MIIB storyline also seemed to be recycled, and if you buy this expecting a surprising drama you should probably avoid watching The Fifth Element as anyone other than the movies lawyers will tell you, it's a straight lift. That doesn't make it a bad film though.
I did become irritated by the product placement in the film. I hadn't really noticed much in the first film, except for the Marlboros enjoyed by the worm guys in duty free, but this time round I felt positively violated by the volume of messages. The commercials are so blatant that the MIB HQ contains a Burger King and a Sprint mobile phones shop. It got naffer and naffer throughout the film, to the point of being distracting. We ended up playing 'spot the ad' which was a little sad.
In spite of this I would watch MIIB again once or twice. It is the kind of film where little references and quips can pass you by the first time, and I know I'll enjoy watching the range of aliens in the fore and backgrounds as there was plenty going on, although unless you are an absolute Will Smith nut then I'd opt for rental.
The extras the a standard fayre with a music video, some not terribly funny outtakes and the usual padding of deleted scenes, commentaries, trailers. There's some 'how we made it' documentary-ettes, but personally I find these a bit like looking behind the wizards curtain, they take the fun out of the film itself.
Advantages: excellent sci fi movie Disadvantages: not really suitable for young children
Men in black 2 is an excellent movie with really good affects.
the movie is starred by tommy lee jones and will smith acting as agent kay and agent jay.
When a renegade kylothion comes to planet earth desguised as a super model ,she threatens to wipe out all of the human existance,agent jay (will smith) has to track down agent kay and try to restore his memory as he had it wiped to live a normal life when he retired from the mib.
Whilst restoring ... ...short film,theatrical trailers and men in black training video.
Disk 2 contains all kinds of extras including an alternate ending to the movie and a blooper reel,intergalactic game demo, screen saver,concept designs and theatrical photo gallery and that is just some of the features there are alot more.
The film is rated pg with mild language,some mild violence and also some sci-fi horrorbut there is also loads of laughs with alot of comedy in this ...

DVD Description
Reuniting director Barry Sonnenfeld with most of the original film's cast, MEN IN BLACK II picks up with alien-monitoring secret agent Jay (Will Smith) in a rut. Weary of the isolated life of an MIB operative, Jay continually fires new partners until MIB director Zed (Rip Torn) teams him up with the talkative pug Frank (voiced by Tim Blaney). Together they investigate an "alien-on-alien" murder witnessed by the lovely Rita (Rosario Dawson), who Jay immediately falls for. The case eventually leads Jay and Frank to track down agent Kay (Tommy Lee Jones), who now works at a rural post office, completely unaware of his former life. Unfortunately, it's what Kay can't remember that may save the world from destruction at the hands of the shape-shifting alien Serleena (Lara Flynn Boyle). As Jay attempts to jog the memory of the reluctant Kay, Serleena takes over MIB headquarters, building up to a big New York City showdown. A fast-paced follow-up to the 1997 sci-fi comedy, MEN IN BLACK II sticks to its guns, offering up more action, aliens, and intergalactic weirdness. This time around Smith and characters such as Frank and the wisecracking worms are the focus, although Jones makes the most out of his screen time with his deadpan persona thoroughly intact. And, as with the first movie, MIB II features plenty of enjoyable scenes, including an underground romp involving a subway-sized alien and Frank the Dog's head-out-of-the-car-window rendition of "I Will Survive."
