Men in Black II

July 9, 2002

At least they didn’t subtitle it Back in Black. Or maybe they did and I just missed it. Men in Black II hit theaters last week and provides just about everything the original did. By that I mean it’s practically the same movie.

The production’s sharp and the acting’s fine, but the script is cloned and the junks are lifeless. The few decent bits were revealed in the massive advertising blitz, so there’s very little in the movie that won’t give you deja vu.

Men in Black II’s the kind of movie that angers you more as you gain more distance. Immediately leaving the theater, you just dismiss it as another lightweight blockbuster. Three days later, I get more and more aggravated by the fact that nobody even seemed to care about making anything in this movie good.

The way they draw the logo up as MIIB makes me think that it’s a Men II Boyz movie.
