Synopsis

Kay and Jay reunite to provide our best, last and only line of defense against a sinister seductress who levels the toughest challenge yet to the MIB's untarnished mission statement – protecting Earth from the scum of the universe. It's been four years since the alien-seeking agents averted an intergalactic disaster of epic proportions. Now it's a race against the clock as Jay must convince Kay – who not only has absolutely no memory of his time spent with the MIB, but is also the only living person left with the expertise to save the galaxy – to reunite with the MIB before the earth submits to ultimate destruction.

Twilightfa Watch something else. There are very few redeeming qualities to this film.
Gurlyndrobb While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
Neive Bellamy Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
Bessie Smyth Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.
studioAT I can understand why they would want to make a sequel to MIB, but that doesn't mean they should've.This film falls into the trap many sequels do, in the sense that they try to do too much, whilst keeping true to what made the original work, and it in the end doesn't do either that well.There are starry cameos along the way, but they can't hide the fact that this sequel isn't that good.Smith and Lee Jones remain good in their roles, and their chemistry carries some of the film through its rough patches, but they can't paper over all the crack.
Tweekums Five years on from the events in 'Men in Black' Agent Jay is an experienced agent who is no longer shocked by the assorted aliens that have made the world their home and Agent Kay is working in a post office totally oblivious to his past life. That is about to change though; Serleena, a shapeshifting alien who has taken the appearance of an underwear model, has arrived on Earth looking for Light of Zartha… of course if she were to get it would be disastrous for Earth. The only agent who knows anything about the Light of Zartha is Kay so Jay must bring him back to MiB so he can be deneuralised, unfortunately Serleena and her associate head there too and manage to take over the facility; Kay will have to go somewhere else to get his memory back. That done he and Kay set about finding the Light and thwarting Serleena's plans.This sequel isn't as good as the original but it still has plenty of laughs as well as some exciting moments. The plot is essentially the same; an alien arrives on Earth to find an object and Jay and Kay must prevent it from finding it and this causing the destruction of Earth. Having the alien disguise itself as an underwear model was funny and Lara Flynn Boyle was suitably sexy in the role; she did however lack the creepiness of 'The Bug' that featured in the original film. Tommy Lee Jones and Will Smith are as good as before as Kay and Jay and it was rather fun to see their roles somewhat reversed. Rosario Dawson was good but somewhat underused as Jay's love interest, and witness to an alien event. Some of the best laughs weren't provided by human characters but by 'Frank the Pug' and the wormlike aliens. For the most part the special effects are pretty good however at times they definitely show their age. Overall this is fun enough; it might not be as good as the first but I'm sure most people who enjoyed that film will also like this… and if you don't it is less than ninety minutes long so you won't waste much time watching it.
Leofwine_draca I remember enjoying - to a degree - the first MEN IN BLACK when I saw it in cinemas back in 1997 when it came out. I never bothered with this sequel, having grown tired of Will Smith's brash persona, but when I saw it advertised on TV I thought I'd check it out. Better late than never, right? Well, no, as it happens. This is an awful sequel in every aspect made with zero intellect and a greedy eye on the purses of movie-goers. It stands as one of Hollywood's worst sequels EVER, jettisoning the first film's originality and fresh feel to offer a storyline that simply copies that of the original movie except with more CGI effects.The first thing noticeable when you watch this film in 2015 is that the CGI effects are AWFUL. Worse even than you'd expect to see in a typical Asylum film. There's barely a single scene without some alien effect or other, and none of them are good, while a lot of them are excruciating. The action scenes that mix in wirework with CGI are the worst of the worst.Otherwise, the film goes through the motions. Smith and Jones are on autopilot and none of their jokes are particularly funny. Lara Flynn Boyle's hammy villain is embarrassing, and the less said about fresh-faced Rosario Dawson, the better (hint: she was much better in SIN CITY). About the only things I liked in this film were the pug - although I'd have liked it better if it hadn't talked - and the Michael Jackson cameo. Everything else is just appalling.
Taylor Kingston I really like this movie. I think it's a great sequel to Men In Black, and it's just really enjoyable.In this movie, Kay and Jack are back in black, and they're kicking some alien ass, as usual. When a new villain, a Kylothian monster disguised as a lingerie model, threatens planet Earth's existence, the boys are on the mission of a lifetime. They eventually enlist the help of Frank The Pug, who is as he sounds, a pug, and so adorable I might add, and the help of some worms, yes, worms. Overall, I give this movie an 8 out of 10, which in my ratings book is: Awesome.
