Men In Black (Special Limited Edition) (Wide Screen) (DVD)

Now, Men in Black was already a superb film. What has always been good about it is it's perfect suitability to just plonk yourself down and watch it on the spur of the moment. With the incredible amount of extra features included on this DVD you will be plonking yourself down for a considerable time to come. All of the features are perfectly matched to the style of the film. My particular favourites are the out-takes (an excellent one involving ...

Review of Men In Black (Special Limited Edition) (Wide Screen) (DVD)

You have to be careful when reading these opinions because although the title refers to the special edition of this disc I noticed that some of the opinions are talking about the limited edition edition. In a wonderful attempt to make money out a popular film Columbia Tri-star have released two versions both with 'Special' style titles. The first being 'Men In Black Special Edition', a title usually reserved for the second release of a film. To clear ...
...cover, featuring Tommy Lee Jones and Will Smith. This itself is an excellent DVD containing not only the usual Trailers and Character profiles but a host of other interesting features. There is a wonderful on-screen commentry with director Barry Sonnenfeld and Tommy Lee Jones. You can see thier sillouetes at the bottom of the screen and they even draw circles on the screen around what they are talking about. It's all very interesting, although there ...

Review of Men In Black (Special Limited Edition) (Wide Screen) (DVD)

Men In Black is just such a comedy, played very firmly with tongue-in-cheek and not to be taken at all seriously. The story is simple yet very rich & entertaining (although it also received a lot of bad press from some quarters because it was seen as racist - an allegory for repatriating illegal immigrants from the US!) The two lead stars, Smith & Jones, don't have to stretch themselves too much, acting wise, since they're both on familiar ground, ...
...his character mannerisms from where Independence Day left off. I was quite surprised with TLJ, I've never really thought of him as being the comedy-film-type, but he plays his role with a great deal of mellowed drollery, not letting Smith's antics wind him up too much, which is typical of most buddy partnerships in comedy movies (Lethal Weapon, Beverly Hills Cop, 48 Hours etc) ...

The extras that are loaded onto the two version of the DVD are amazing and set a new standard for all to follow. There is a single DVD and a double DVD both "special editions". The difference being you get slightly more extras with the double includign teh chance to direct your own scene. Having played with a friends copy, only the devoted fan or film buff with use this more than twice. I decided just to get the single disc. This in itself has loads ...
...things where put on for the sake of saying its got extras. Do we really need to have the actors and other crew talking over the film saying how much they really enjoyed making this scene or what trick was played on this actor in that scene ? The access menus are good and well thought out. The story itself ? Well, very much tongue in cheek and poking fun at itself and other sci fi films. Barrell of laughs ? no, only a few chortles and acknowledgements ...

...see a letterbox picture. Though Men in Black isn’t the greatest film in the world, it is worth viewing again, even if it’s just to see what you missed the first time because you couldn’t stop laughing. The best thing about this twin pack though must be the groundbreaking do-it-yourself editing. Watch how the experts do it, and then have a go yourself. Could understand if this was only a feature for those of us with DVD-ROM’s but being able to use ...

This stunning two disc set has it all - a great movie with comedy and action not to mention an excellant cast, more extras than you'll ever have time to watch not to mention never seen before extras like scene editing, stunning menus and fabulous picture and sound quality. The film is one of the best Sci-fi comedies ever and a trailer for MIB 2 is included in the extras so I'm looking forward to it. You won't get bored with this film because you'll ...

They moniter elien whereabouts, alien business and alien imagrants etc etc. the genral plot ---------------- the film starts off with a big alien bust on the borders of america. Here the MIB are looking for an escaped convict. this gives you the genral idea of how the MIB act. Soon after a new MIB ...

Review of Men In Black (Special Limited Edition) (Wide Screen) (DVD)

Being a big fan of Men in Black, and having worn out my VHS copy, I was looking forward to getting hold of it on DVD with the inherent benefits of the format. And the number of extras is amazing. I think that this is probably one of the best all round packages for a DVD that I have seen, particular highlights are the visual commentary with Tommy Lee Jones and the director, and the "edit your own version of scenes from the film" extras. I can't ...

Review of Men In Black (Special Limited Edition) (Wide Screen) (DVD)

Given the almost complete lack of plot continuity and a light-weight glibness that practically floats, this should be an unmitigated disaster. Surprisingly, its not, in fact, its almost a success. Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones, perfectly cast, spark up an engaging if derivative funnyman/straightman dynamic. Sonnenfeld’s quippy, rapid-fire style is well-suited, even if there are occasionally sluggish passages and a narrative that, ironically, takes ...
...blockbusters, like ‘Addams Family Values’ it’s the cast that sells it. Jones flawless, teflon performance is the perfect contrast to Smith’s loudmouth ethnic quippery. Even the supporting cast (Vincent D’Onofrio, Tony Shalhoub etc) shine out from amongst the multi-million dollar spectacle. Unfortunately though, the film somehow still leaves an unsatisfying aftertaste. Perhaps because the inflated visual energy and the light-hearted punning is not ...
