Sorry, this movie sucks

As Good As It Gets

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

A police officer joins a secret organization that polices and monitors extraterrestrial interactions on Earth. Men in Black starts Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones who have a really terrific chemistry together as for Vincent D'Onofrio as the villain? He did alright but he is a pretty damn goofy antagonist if you ask me. The film's cgi are a bit dated but then again we're talking about a 1997 movie alright? Both Smith and Jones are phenomenal especially Will who delivers most of the humor and he is just a joy watching him on screen being both the funny guy and the cool guy as for Jones he is more of the straight guy cracking a smile here and there all serious and cool. (8/10)

A little late to the party here, but I've finally gotten around to the picture after a couple of decades. It was actually a pretty fun ride with Tommy Lee Jones and Will Smith as a pair of unlikely alien bug hunters. I probably would have preferred something a little more on the serious side a la the 'X-Files' but what the heck, there are plenty of those episodes to go around. I'm glad the writers threw in some good old fashioned sci-fi gobbledygook; I mean really, what's a story about aliens without a good dose of reverberating carbonizers with mutate capacity, or a Lemsat Four with proton induction thermoscan. The actual aliens were a little over the top making parts of the story cartoonish looking, but it was pretty well balanced by the thorough investigative work of those MiB, 'K' (Jones) and 'J' (Smith). I also got a kick out of Linda Fiorentino's take on Laurel Weaver, the Deputy Medical Examiner. I've only seen her in this film and "Dogma", and if you didn't know any better, she was playing the same character in both pictures.

This is the 1st part of the series and comes with an interesting story. There lies a parallel wing among the US army that works secretly and so do the agent J&K. Will Smith shows his interesting humour and wins heart but this execution does not seem to be up to mark. The fight with the alien and theft of galaxy was an good sequence. Overall fun to watch.

Men in Black is a wonderful Saturday morning cartoon taking the form of a highly-stylized Hollywood blockbuster, and is probably the best example of the inimitable charisma Smith is so famous for. Not all the humor holds up (corny one liners), but most of it really does (anything Jones says, everything D'Onofrio does).
