“Let me just start by saying that I normally like movies with Tommy Lee Jones and / or Will Smith in them. They certainly donu0026#39;t belong to the enormous group of average and unnoticeable actors, but have some kind of style and presence that I really can appreciate. But Iu0026#39;m afraid thatu0026#39;s about the best thing I can say about them right now, because what they did in this movie was nothing but a hasty u0026#39;grab-as-much-money-as-you-canu0026#39; job and I really donu0026#39;t like to see that.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eu0026quot;Men in Black IIu0026quot; starts four years later from where the first one ended. Kay has given up life as an agent and has returned to civilian life, working in a postal office, while Jay has continued to work for the u0026#39;Men in Blacku0026#39;. While investigating what seems to be a routine crime, Jay uncovers a diabolical plot masterminded by Serleena, an evil Kylothian monster who disguises herself as a sexy lingerie model. With their headquarters under siege and time running out, Jay must convince Kay, who no longer remembers anything of his time with the MIB, to rejoin the agency so they can save the Earth from being destroyed completely.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI admit that some of the special effects were nice to watch, but even that didnu0026#39;t always convince me. Some of the aliens were small masterpieces, others however seemed like a hasty job, unfinished by the people of the computer graphics department. The only possible explanation for that might be that they wanted to save enough money so the profit rate would be even larger. And the computer animations werenu0026#39;t the only one to suffer from that problem. The script writers didnu0026#39;t come up with any new things either. All they did was to repeat what worked in the first movie. It even seems like they didnu0026#39;t have the time to come up with a new and decent plot.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAnd yet not everything was that bad. The humor for instance worked, not always perfectly but it worked. Jokes like u0026quot;It came with a black dude, but it kept being pulled overu0026quot; when they talk about the automatic pilot in the Mercedes were funny. I even liked that dog singing on the front seat of the car, but overall it just wasnu0026#39;t enough to save the entire movie. No, if you are looking for a spectacular new movie that is full of great acting, a great story and some excellent computer animations, than youu0026#39;ll be very disappointed by this one. It just seems like they threw it together in a couple of weeks and thatu0026#39;s why I can only give it a 6/10.”
