Men In Black II

Half a star. Drivel. May have one small redeeming feature.

Even with it being only 1 hour and 16 minutes long, they couldn't find enough jokes and plot to fill a whole film, so they just remade the original. Lara Flynn Boyle doesn't cut it as a villain, Rosario Dawson doesn't cut it as a love interest, and Smith and Jones show none of the fizz or hidden depths that made the first film so enjoyable. The set pieces are scaled down to the point where they're just "pieces", and the supposedly special effects are no more than ordinary. It's like a particularly bad episode of a poor TV series based on the MIB film. Utterly regrettable--and forgettable--rubbish.
