Kay and Jay reunite to provide our best line of defense against a seductress who levels the toughest challenge yet to the MIB's mission statement: protecting the earth from the scum of the universe. While investigating a routine crime, Jay uncovers a plot masterminded by Serleena, a Kylothian monster who disguises herself as a lingerie model. When Serleena takes the MIB building hostage, there is only one person Jay can turn to -- his former MIB partner.

Critics Consensus

Lacking the freshness of the first movie, MIB 2 recycles elements from its predecessor with mixed results.

There are just enough fresh, funny gags and witty throwaways to keep the 88-minute "MIB2" percolating.

4/5

Crazy creatures, some scares, and loads of fun.

The down-home satire of how we cope with cultural difference has evaporated, replaced by jazzy effects that wear out their welcome by the halfway mark.

0.5/4

Represents a long-established trend in Hollywood where franchises resolve to Xerox the first entry.

4/10

Odd grotesqueries that seem ill-fitted for a comical adventure compose much of the character designs, weakening the impact of events and the likeliness of being memorable.

And film afficionados everywhere will not be lost on some inside jokes and cameos- the funniest of which revolves around some cheesy special effects with wires and tin foil which has Agent Jay commenting that it 'looks like Spielberg's work'.

Uma sequela que joga demasiado pelo seguro, reciclando a fórmula do original de forma apressada e sem a mesma frescura. Embora o carisma inegável da dupla Will Smith e Tommy Lee Jones ainda garanta alguns momentos divertidos, o argumento preguiçoso e os efeitos datados impedem o filme de ser algo mais do que um mero passatempo nostálgico.

Men in Black II is a fun and entertaining sequel that brings back everything people loved about the first movie. Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones are just as enjoyable together, and the new aliens and action scenes keep things exciting. It may not be quite as fresh as the original, but it’s still packed with comedy, memorable moments, and plenty of sci-fi fun

Although the critics say this film is lacking the freshness of the first movie, I still enjoyed the ride. It's still a fun watch. It's a movie I can watch over and over. Tommy Lee Jones and Will Smith have really good chemistry and that still shows in this 2nd flick.
