Men In Black (Collector's Edition, DVD)

Men in Black stars Tommy Lee Jones (Agent Kay) and Will Smith (Agent Jay). Situated in America NYPD cop (Will) chases down an alien, and then he is recruited by Kay. The film is about a secret organisation that keeps the aliens on the planet under control, BUT an evil alien impersonating Edgar lands on the planet and is not going to go down without a fight. Can Kay and Jay stop him watch the fantastic film to find out. The actors play there parts well and if you too were nueralised you'd think the characters were actually real. I really like Will Smith as the cop he is very funny especially taking the test to become one of the elite Men In Black. The film ...  Read the complete review

Men in Black is a cinematic oddity. Based on a small Dark Horse comic few people read, no-one really expected it to make much of an impact at the Box Office. The fact that it did can be credited firmly to Tommy Lee Jones and Will Smith in the lead roles. As mysterious government agents defending the earth against aliens, their performances are spot-on.

The truth is, though, he does it so well that you can forgive him. It’s just a shame Smith has ...  Read the complete review

"Here come the men in black!" Yes, I think most people will have heard, if not seen, Men In Black. It was a very popular film and one which seems to stick in peoples minds because it has a lot going for it. Men In Black was released in 1997, which surprised me because it doesn't feel like 12 years ago when I first watched it! It still seems quite modern, so even if you haven't seen it yet it's still worth a watch now because it doesn't seem to feel outdated. It's rated PG and so it's suitable for family viewing, and I think it does seem to have a wide appeal across age ranges and tastes. For example, I enjoyed this film, even though I ...  Read the complete review

note: also appears in part on Flixster and The Student Room Men in Black is a classic sci-fi comedy that really makes the best of fantastic comedy between leads Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones, and it also helped to confirm Smith's status as a bankable Hollywood superstar. Clever, knowing, and with some groundbreaking visual effects, it's no surprise that this was both a huge critical success, and also a massive financial one, making $589m upon its release in theatres. The film revolves around a secret organisation - the Men in Black - who investigate paranormal activity on Earth, attempting to ensure that most people never realise that there are, in ...  Read the complete review
