...this type of film, but Men In Black really did something for me. The film has everything - a good plot, great actors, good scenery and effects and a good soundtrack. Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones play the parts of two MiB agents tracking down a mysterious alien (a bug) that is very violent and wants to return home using abandoned space ships in Manhattan. The film is comic and a little violent (maybe some young children would be disturbed by a few ... Read review

Advantages: It's over quickly
Disadvantages: Weak, gross, not enough laughs

...The bad alien that the Men In Black were pursuing just grossed me out, and the film was badly written, without either enough tension or laughs. I wouldn,t recommend it to anyone, it was a rather poor outing for Tommy Lee Jones, and worse than usual from Will Smith, whose success in Hollywood has always mystified me. ... Read review

Advantages: great special effects, and acting
Disadvantages: plot is a bit predictable

This UFO myth has been going for a long time and is what inspired the Marvel comic on which the film is based. I've expect you've never heard of the comic because it only ran for six issues. But due to the success of this film I'm sure it will resurface along with a new comic. An animated series is already in production and a sequel has been signed up. So, is the film any good then? You bet it is. First the plot. The plot is a little thin on the ... Read review

...both perfectly cast as the Men In Black. In has a great plot and great special effects too. There is nothing bad to say about this film. It really is funny but if you are and action movie person then you will like it too because it has its fair share of action and has cooler guns. It is generally a great movie and I recommend everybody to see it. ... Read review

Men In Black" proceeds from the familiar premise that humans are one of many intelligent species in the universe, but adds that we ain't that bright a species. Nevertheless, in the universe of "Men In Black", Earth is a kind of DMZ for aliens looking for a trouble free existence, and the job of the Men In Black is to keep it trouble free. Tommy Lee Jones's character, Agent K, likens it to the exile world of "Casablanca", and it's a apt comparison. ... Read review

...actress. When I first heard about Men in Black, I imagined some Johnny Cash life story or a documentary on fashion at the Sundance Film Festival or even a music industry bio: "Bono, a Life." Wrong on all counts! This here's a flick about space beasties, and - horror of horrors - it's actually good! Tommy Lee is the Stern Man in Black, Will is the Black Man in Black, and Rip Torn (Garry Shandling's Producer on Larry Sanders) is the Boss Man in ... Read review

This is a great Saturday night film. Sit down with a pizza and a few cans and you'll have a great night. From the opening sequence, this film is mesmerising. THe special effects are tremendous. The story is great and there's lots of action to keep you interested. There's also comedy and drama though and there's real chemistry between the two lead characters, Tommy Lee Jones and Will Smith. The way they bounce wittisisms off each other is great. They ... Read review

Advantages: Amusing
Disadvantages: To unbelievable

...have been nice if more Men In Black stuff happened in the film, just little things would have been nice, rather than going straight into the big story. That way we could have seen more of what their job is like. On the upside though, the dvd looks like it will be PACKED with extras, which is always a very good thing. This brings the score up a notch. ... Read review
