Men in Black II (2002)
Starring: Tommy Lee Jones, Will Smith Director: Barry Sonnenfeld
More remake than sequel, Men in Black II safely repeats everything that made Men in Black the blockbuster hit of 1997.
Men in Black II
(Widescreen Special Edition) - That's fine if you loved the original's fresh humor, weird aliens, and loopy ingenuity, but as sequels go, it's pure déjà vu.
Makeup wizard Rick Baker is the only MIB alumnus who's trying anything new, while director Barry Sonnenfeld and costars Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones (as alien-fighting agents Jay and Kay, respectively) are on autopilot with an uninspired screenplay.
The quest of a multitentacled alien -- on Earth in the form of Lara Flynn
Boyle -- for the light of Zartha requires Jay to deneuralize Kay, whose restored memory contains the key to saving the planet.
The tissue-thin premise allows all varieties of special effects -- mostly familiar, with some oddly hilarious new stuff tossed in for good measure.
