Advantages: Funny film, great special effects, fabulous extra features Disadvantages: Run of the mill sequel, Average script, The product placement is a touch much.
...2 disk DVD release of Men in Black 2 for the past two months, ever since I had heard of its imminent parole date. As a huge fan of the original I had naturally pre-ordered my own copy of part 2 and after viewing both disks, here is my summery:
\\\\\\ PLOT //////
Men in Black 2 picks up 5 years after the first one ended, agent Jay (Will Smith – Men in Black, Independence day, Ali) is having a few minor problems finding a partner fit to replace ... ...a very similar story to Men in Black 1, our two agents must stop an evil alien who has come to earth to find a super powerful weapon called the light of zartha. As in the first film, not finding the weapon in time will mean the end of planet earth, as the weapon must be in a certain place at a certain time or boom!
Instead of a giant cockroach in a Vincent D’onofrio suit this time around, the nasty alien is a mass of snakes shaped just like ...

Advantages: Great film, Love it. Many extras included. Disadvantages: Too much advertising on the discs.

Barry Sonnenfeld's commentary with optional telestrator diagrams,
Alien Broadcast,
Alien Escape (PS2 Game Promo)
The Chubb Chubb's short film,
Men In Black 2 Training video and
Theatrical Trailer's.
This disc is quite good even though ... ...costs some how) never mind the Box Office money that they made.
The best part about this disc is the "Training Video", This has the likes of Richard Madeley, Caprice and a few other British celebrities who apparently are disguised alien's from other planet's (funny :-()

The full feature film,
Alternative ending,

Advantages: Great Special Effects, Loads of Laughs, Superb Extras Disadvantages: No strength in plot, lacks continuity.
...awaited sequel to the original Men in Black, I found the film greatly entertaining the magic is still there between Smith and Jones.
Special effects were second to none,plenty of new aliens and old faces which have improved in appearence through the special effects in leaps and bounds, loads of new gadgetry and weapons that make the mind boggle and the body explode!
Alas the story line was OK dont expect depth and continuity poor, but to be honest ... ...script was very funny some really memorable parts that had me laughing my socks off and the acting was really up to scratch with Smith and Jones playing it for all it was worth.
Really worth a look, obviously not a life changing film but extremely funny, re-watchable a nice one for the family. ...

Advantages: high quality action with actors you like Disadvantages: very resemble MBI
Ok let’s start by saying that if you are interested in this move:
1. You like actions with fantastic effects
2. you have a good taste in movies
3. you’ve seen MBI
I`ll tell you truth and nothing except truth. Swear…
One week ago (or so) I took a DVD from my friend. As far as I can remember first MB was great (don’t judge my taste those who don’t like such movies) I was so glad that I have chance to see the next ... ...came to another my friend who has a DVD player. We took some Chips (I suggest everybody to take some chips to eat before you are going to watch movie) and started it. Wow!!! The beginning was… you know… like it was 50 s or so. But don’t be upset so easy, Like I was. This is just the beginning of story (it should be like this)
And then the SHOW has BAGAN. Like in the first part bad alien comes to the Earth and started his bad mission. ...
