Review
Greetings fellow viewer who decided to click the link from the reference in my review of Kingsman: The Secret Service. Back in the old days of Movie Night, reviews were not as developed as you might see in 2017 - in any case, Men in Black is a nifty comedy that works due to Smith and Jones being particularly great together on-screen while having a good sense of humor to it that certainly invited two more installments - with varying quality. Enjoy this review from 2012:
Before I begin, I will mention that this is based off the comic of the same name by Lowell Cunningham (I swear that having a review of another comic book movie is purely coincidental in every way. Maybe) This film was released a year after Smith's success in Independence Day (#193), and he works well here once again. Smith and Jones make a good pair, and the supporting cast and characters are good as well. The effects and makeup are good, it keeps you interested all the way. This film would inspire two sequels, one of which is coming next.
Reference of how many films I've done that were based on comic book films: 15.
Overall, I give it 8 out of 10 stars.
