Review:
Tim: I really wasn't impressed with Men in Black when I first saw it. However, upon subsequent viewings, I enjoyed the movie more and more. It has a great deal of charm, humor, and is one heck of an entertaining ride.
The pairing of Tommy Lee Jones and Will Smith is terrific. They offset each other perfectly. On screen, they have amazing chemistry together and are very fun to watch.
Will Smith proved that he is the summer box office champion with this film. The guy is simply amazing to watch. He oozes of charisma and humor. Jones gives a tough but very funny performance as well, complimenting Smith beautifully.
Men in Black is a very refreshing movie. It blends action, science fiction, and comedy together brilliantly. It also features some incredible special effects.
While the movie is pretty crazy, the film is incredibly entertaining and fun.
It is a very well crafted and exciting ride. This is an enjoyable movie, that although it doesn't have some of the characteristics of a huge blockbuster, is still very good.
