The critics are saying this movie sucks. But, what do they know? Look, no one is going to see MIBII expecting Elizabethan drama, ok Mr. Ebert. You know what Mr. Ebert, try going to the gym instead of watching so many movies huh
Now, on with the review. Of course the movie isn't as original as the original, just by nature of being a sequel it lacks the originality of being the original - does that make sense At any rate, if you laughed at the first movie, I think you'll laugh at this movie. It is basically a continuation of the first, w/ funny banter between Mr. Jones the all business type, and the ultra cool ultra hip, yet still wet behind the ears Mr. Smith. The dog is f'in hilarious!!!! The only thing really missing is the sense of discovery in the first one, ya know, like the parts where K is showing Will Smith the tabloids and you discover that all the tabloids are real. Is this movie better than the first. No. Few sequels are, ever, period. (Empire Strikes Back and Godfather II are two of the strongest arguments for sequel being better than original) Is it worse. If it is, I don't think it is significantly worse. I laughed throughout and thought the story was alright and the effects kicked ass. And that is all I wanted to do.
