After being partners with the greatest Man in Black in the history of the agency, which is what Kay was, it's very difficult for Jay to find another one to fill those shoes," explains Smith. The movie doesn't really go into those things in great detail. ... Full Review

Will's naturally comedic demeanor as a street smart cop coupled with Tommy Lee Jones' no nonsense deadpan humor couldn't have been more perfectly cast.....The unusually dialogue-heavy script for a sci-fi comedy presents D-BOX engineers fewer opportunities to insert Motion Code than a typical action flick offers.....Throw Vincent D'Onofrio into the mix as a body-snatched villain with serious skin adhesion issues and the physical comedy perfectly compliments the aural.....Danny Elfman's Men in Black score rem ...

There are a few very humorous moments in this second film and admittedly a few original jokes, but when the credits roll after this incredibly short movie, you feel as if youve already seen the film. Columbia TriStar can usually be relied on for a good-looking disc and "Men In Black II" is no exception to that. ... Full Review

The first Men in Black was a nearly perfect summer flick - fresh, zany and full of fun. What's missing is the giddy sense of discovery that made the first movie so endearing. ... Full Review

MIB II comes across less as a seamlessly constructed movie and more as a montage of some very funny scenes interspersed with some inexplicably drab ones. Happily for the movie and its financiers, such ambiguities do not come in the way of some rollicking fun that is as surely incapable of stretching one's grey cells as it is capable of getting the ticket registers to ring merrily. ...
