Kay and Jay reunite to provide our best, last and only line of defense against a sinister seductress who levels the toughest challenge yet to the MIBs untarnished mission statement: protecting the earth from the scum of the universe. It's been four years since the alien-seeking agents averted an intergalactic disaster of epic proportions. And now it's a race against the clock as Jay must convince Kay-who not only has absolutely no memory of his time spent with the Men In Black, but is also the only living person left with the expertise to save the galaxy-to reunite with the MIB before the earth submits to ultimate destruction.
Rated PG for sci-fi action violence and some provocative humor. Did you know Edit. Trivia The original pug from Men in Black was used to play Frank again, but since the pug was now seven years old, they used makeup to hide the gray fur around its nose. The next shot shows K's digital Hamilton back in the spot, replaced again by J's analog in the shots that follow. Crazy credits The "torch lady" in the Columbia Pictures logo flashes her torch like a neuralyzer device. Alternate versions Scenes shown in TV spots included two extra scenes in the deneuralizer room one of K and J at the door and another with K in the chair, both with Jones in the mailman's uniform , and a version of the clothes change montage featuring K's mailman uniform.
User reviews Review. Top review. More of the same, but just as fun. My Take: Not as wildly enjoyable as the first, but makes a terrific sequel. Summer movie sequels are usually the victims of the "sequelness".
Most sequels to big blockbuster hits tend to simply repeat the success of the first film, and simply recycle the formula of its predecessor. It practically repeats the formula of the first film: Aliens are out again, J Will Smith and K Tommy Lee Jones are back as partners to fight against it and the whole lot.
The formula is copied, but the same cannot be said about the rest of the film. There are new rabbits in this same bag of tricks.
Although most innovations are of special effects, MIIB provides some new fun moments in a somewhat formula approach. Like said, MIIB returns Smith and Jones as the dynamic duo out to stop an alien, a creature called the Kylothian, who takes the form of a lingerie model Lara Flynn Boyle , who, guess what? Trying to take over the world.
This is nothing new in comparison. It's mostly just a retread of the previous film. But few of these "been there, done that" sequels are fun in a different way. This one is, and it's actually surprisingly entertaining. The new script by Robert Gordon and Barry Fanaro contains a number of effective puns which elevates the humor from other formula sequels.
Of course, there are new and colorful special effects from mostly the same crew of the original film. They still give us a host of aliens and creatures that we can feast our eyes upon. Not much imagination went to the storyline and characters, but a lot was certainly invested upon the effects and visuals.
Kudos for director Barry Sonnenfeld, production designer Bo Welch and much of the special effects crew for providing a colorful atmosphere that bursts with liveliness in an otherwise formulaic episode of summer sequel season. It's the same old thing, but with new fun. FAQ 6. Do former MiB agents need to be deneuralyzed if they return to MiB?

Quotes M. Alternate versions In the scene when Molly arrives at MIB headquarters in London, celebrity cameos appearing on the big screen varied depending on the country where the film was being shown. User reviews 1. Top review. PC, bland and unpopular. First off, this movie is politically correct you've been warned. For example, there's a spiel about "people in black" you mean like "girl power", or is that different? There's plenty of the usual "reverse sexism" but let's just call it sexism for what it is.
Hemsworth seems big on these type of movies. Ok, this is the second "girl power" movie from Sony after their Ghostbusters that the mainstream media loved but nobody else did. This time around, not even the media like this movie, despite the movie being politically correct. The real issue is that the movie is too focussed on trying to be the first MiB, but failing because its too politically correct and too focussed on sfx, so, the actors take second fiddle to social agendas and green screens.
Sadly, despite solid acting chops from Hemsworth, Neeson and Emma Thompson, their performances are mediocre and the leading actress Tessa Thompson just doesn't have the chops to carry a movie like this she's no Will Smith. Summary: Not suitable for my children to watch due to inconsistent and heavy focus on sex politics.
Not worth watching because of the mediocre performances all around. Details Edit. Release date June 14, United States. China United States. Official Facebook Official Site.
