Console best movie i've ever seen.

Matrixiole Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

The Movie Diorama This can be best described as the weakest instalment of the franchise, no question. Same director, same actors, same aesthetic appeal. But something went wrong. Was it the ridiculously short 88 minute runtime? The underlying sense of familiarity? Over-reliance of noticeable computer generated effects? Unsurprisingly, it's actually all of the above. However what really hit the nail in this chapter's coffin was the identical plot. Agent Jay must restore Kay's memory in order to stop an antagonistic alien from retrieving an object that can decimate planets. Just to confirm, I am describing the plot to the sequel, not the original. Ironically, they are exactly the same. Therefore automatically your mind starts to wander off thinking about how refreshing the first film was and how much of a "cash grab" this follow-up is. It doesn't further an existing plot, nor does it develop any of the memorable characters. It just exists as if it took the phrase "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" and forcefully applied it to every nook and cranny. The aliens, the love interest, the underwhelming conclusion. A villainous alien so functionally generic that the lingerie model it replicated would've had more personality. The uninspired lack of imagination, especially for a franchise that relishes in its own creativity, acts as a fitting juxtaposition for this instalment. Despite these criticisms, Smith and Jones give decent performances that feel consistent with the personalities defined in the original. The prosthetics and makeup, minimally used as they were due to substitution of mediocre visual effects, were well designed. The script contained a few amusing scenes amidst the lacklustre dialogue. Michael Jackson's twenty second cameo was perfection. Honestly increased the rating by a point for his "thrilling" scene. Seriously though, there is no justification for this "cash grab" and after witnessing this, I for one would not join MIB. I wish I could neuralise myself...

shubhamsrivastavalu J&K defend the space attack against Serleena, who possess quite a number of powers. She succeeds in unleashing the battle largely but J&K manage to get through in the end. The sequence of Jeff and chemistry of J & Laura is interesting. Moreover K also faces the past and realizes the Laura in none but his own daughter. Finally Laura manages to exit Earth onto her own planet.

Horst in Translation (filmreviews@web.de) Five years after the original Oscar-winning "Men in Black", the story continues and the two main protagonists are played by Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones with Barry Sonnenfeld reprising his position as director. The main antagonist is played by Lara Flynn Boyle this time, a mean tentacle lady, while the good girl is portrayed by Rosario Dawson. About Flynn Boyle, she is fine for the most part, even not as great and memorable as D'Onofrio in the first one. Rosario Dawson felt really forgettable to me. She is basically a non-character for the entire film until the great revelation in the end. But it's really more the fault how the character was written and not Dawson's acting.I have a bit of a problem with the fact that they brought back Lee Jones' character here as a co-lead as it puts a bit of a question mark behind the ending and major parts of the first film in terms of his retirement being the right thing. Still I like him as an actor and that's why I am not too mad about it. "Men in Black 2" had some strong parts and some not so strong. Despite the scenario of the world possibly ending, it is still mostly a comedy with lots of science-fiction and fantasy impact, but never really a dramatic film. Thumbs up here as science fiction comedy is really a challenge and nothing we see that often. About the main antagonist, I found it a bit ridiculous that she could easily gain control over the agency, but still fails in killing the girl and the two agents. So is she really powerful or not?Anyway, as a whole this was a pretty decent watch. I think this film got a lot of unjust criticism because of the mere fact that it is a sequel. It does not feel as new and fresh again, but had this been the first film actually in a slightly altered version involving TLJ's character, then people would have appreciated it more I think. Even without an Oscar win or nomination, I enjoyed the watch. It is also never dragging and it was a good decision to keep it considerably under 90 minutes, actually only 80 if you don't count the credits. Well done for the most part and I will probably also watch the third at some point. Thumbs up.

lisafordeay I seen this one a very long time ago in the cinemas and I was just thinking about the film. This time around(pretty much similar to the 1st movie)an alien takes on the form of a Victoria Secret's model(played by Lara Flynn Boyle)who the CIA agents track down and the alien teams up with Johnny Knoxville who also plays an alien in this sequel. The special effects again are great, the acting is good and pretty much everything else is good.If you liked the first one than im sure you are gonna like this version too.6/10
