TheNameBrand Good acting, great world building, great and unique alien design, good pacing, freaking Will Smith, and it's just an overall fun imagining of the ol cryptid tales of the MEN IN BLACK. A must watch.

invisibleunicornninja This movie is funny, entertaining, and well worth watching. The effects, action, and acting are all spectacular. Except for a few dumb plot devices this movie is perfect. It is extremely entertaining and worth watching. I would highly recommend this fun, well-made masterpiece.

The Movie Diorama If you think of 90s sci-fi blockbusters, the likes of 'Independence Day' and 'The Matrix' immediately spring to mind. However, for family entertainment one would glance at Men In Black, and for good reason. A rookie officer joins a secret organisation (MIB) which deals with immigration services for extraterrestrial life. Upon his first task, he is partnered with Agent K to save the world from a giant insect who wishes to steal a galaxy. Crazy plot sounds crazy, right? The inventive story and world building makes for an extravagantly memorable flick that boasts superior creativity. The vast array of uniquely designed aliens is something you would find in a series of 'Doctor Who'. Insects, squids and even small blobs, the clear inspirations from existing creatures make for some unique characteristics amongst the foreign members hidden within the human community. The dialogue is incredibly cheesy and surprisingly humorous with the occasional snigger here and there. The visual effects have aged well and hold up to today's standards, particularly the true form of the antagonist. Smith and Jones make for an unusual pairing, but it's with their juxtaposing characters (personality, age and race) that make for electric chemistry and the best selling point to this franchise. Annoyingly Smith also released a catchy hip-hop track with the film...and frustratingly I loved it when I was younger. The major problem with the narrative is the abhorrent inconsistent pacing. A basic plot is stretched far too thinly where many segments, including the entire second act, felt like it was going nowhere. A 98 minute film that seemed like an eternity. The final confrontation was slightly underwhelming which prevents an opportunity at showcasing the MIB gadgetry. Having said that, this still remains the benchmark for the franchise, bursting with creativity and leading comedic chemistry that evokes the fun of 90s cinema. Now I have to get this song out of my head again..."here come the Men In Black...*clap clap*"...urghhh!
