Men in Black II review
Daniel Corleone - wrote on 04/20/13
"It isn't fair...It never is." Agent J (Will Smith) becomes romantically involved with Laura Vasquez (Rosario Dawson). Agent K (Tommy Lee Jones) still shows him the ropes. Bigger guns doesn't mean a better sequel. Had more cheesy lines and the overall plot was too thin. The whole thing felt rushed and the conclusion unsatisfying. Special effects and humor were still present but overall, Men in Black 2 was pretty much average compared to its predecessor. Frank the Pug still entertains though. Screenplay definitely needed a reboot though the chemistry of Smith and Jones were evident, it still couldn't lift the film on its own. Not sure why they had to make a sequel based on Agent J falling in love with a princess from another planet. Another mistake was casting the dull Lara Flynn Boyle.
