Pros: Interesting, funny plot. Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones
Cons: None for me
I first saw Men in Black several years ago when it was first released on video. I recently got the Deluxe Edition DVD of the movie. It contains two DVDs and many extras. Since the sequel will be out soon, I decided it was time to watch ...

Pros: the script, the acting, the effects
Cons: some coarse language, mild violence, has definitely earned the PG-13 rating
Okay, has anyone out there not seen this movie? Raise your hand. You! Yes, you! Go out and rent this movie right now! Men In Black has to be one of the all-around best movies I have seen. On DVD, it comes loaded with special ...

by elvisdo in Movies, - Top 500, May 14 '07
Pros: Nice, outrageous story; great concept; entertaining; Tommy Lee Jones' deadpan attitude
Cons: I'm sure everyone did the MIB dance at least once
Jay: You do know Elvis is dead, right? Kay: No, Elvis is not dead. He just went home. Or he could be writing for Epinions. Black suits, top-secret agencies and… aliens? Sounds like the White House cabinet to me. But the ...

Pros: Hilarious comedy.
Cons: Seeing as we are talking about Men In Black, no cons.
Men In Black is one great example of family entertainment. I'm not suggesting that it's on the level of such dreary dreck as Air Bud. What I mean is that the film is one that will entertain the WHOLE family. Kids will love the goofy aliens, talking ...

Pros: Great production values, great actors, and a strong story.
Cons: It's not great art, just a good movie.
Men in Black (1997) Directed by Barry Sonnenfeld"That is a lot of fun. It's a universal translator. We're not even supposed to have it, and I'll tell you why... Human thought is so primitive it's looked upon as an infectious disease in ...

by yakkowarner - Top 50, Feb 21 '09
Pros: Funny, entertaining, fast paced, great special effects.
Cons: missed some opportunities to explore the human psyche.
This is without question the best "action-SciFi-comedy" movie out there. Heck it's probably the only one (with the exception of MIB II). But it is a good movie and one I can watch any time. A must have movie for your library.You ...

by Montepenny - Top 500, Sep 20 '00
Pros: The dialog and acting are excellent...
Cons: Some of the aliens look like glorified muppets.
It had been a while since I last saw the 1997 summer blockbuster Men in Black. When I glanced upon a "Collector's Series" edition on DVD loaded with tons of special features, I figured that $16 (on sale at Best Buy) was a...

by artbyjude - Top 500, Oct 03 '00
Pros: Funny, clever, well done special effects
Cons: a few innocent bystanders die, and they don't stop to view the Kandinsky collection at the Guggenheim
For an evening's entertainment, free of moral choices and packed with fun, it's hard to beat MIB. I like the movie for all the wrong reasons. The premise is outrageous, the action is non stop, and the possibilities are endless. The new DVD release...

by Chad9976 - Top 1000, Mar 20 '08
Pros: Great cast; original concept; many hilarious moments; cool SFX
Cons: A little confusing at times; it's not the most intelligent movie ever made
What's good about "Men In Black" is that, technically, it's another lightweight, mass-market comedy/adventure, but it's also a clever satire. It appeals to both the child and the adult in us. It's difficult to make a film intended for the family that ...

by crucify , Dec 04 '01
Pros: Unlikely pairing of Tommy Lee Jones and Will Smith, fast-paced, comically clever.
Cons: Rapport between Smith and Linda Forentino less than believable.
Welcome to a world where diamonds are worthless, supermarket tabloids are more accurate than the "New York Times" and at any given moment, destruction of the entire planet is inevitable.
Welcome to Earth.
NYPD officer James Edwards...

Pros: Funny movie, great aliens, innovative DVD extras
Cons: some weak dialogue (esp. with Linda), packaging flaw, poor DVD-ROM stuff
NOTE: This covers the movie and the Limited Edition version of the DVD though most of the info applies to the currently common release as well. When people talk about adventure comedies from the 80’s they usually include Ghostbusters, for the 90’s it’ ...

by willbradbury , Jan 26 '00
Pros: J and K
Cons: The excessive swearing.
Will Smith's xenophobic movie Men in Black is a comedic triumph. For this
outting, Smith pairs with Tommy Lee Jones to battle intergalactic weirdos
that threaten earth. Will Smith is an NYPD officer; Tommy Lee Jones is an
agent for...

by SirenSix , Mar 30 '00
Pros: Big laughs, eye-popping aliens, a great leading duo
Cons: Over the top, gross, and a bit dark
When I was battling depression, I made a list of things guaranteed to cheer me up in an emergency. This movie was on that list. While my recent move to L.A. seems to have miraculously cured my recurrent blues (probably brought on my Seasonal Affective...

by gun_shy , Nov 02 '00
Pros: Funny, clever, great direction, nice comic to screen adaptation, good special effects, nice buddy movie
Cons: Too short, hard to spot jokes, some dumb lines
Former director of photography expert Barry Sonnenfeld made his name mentionable with the hilarious Adam's Family film that redefined the black comedy genre. After a not so successful sequel and various other films he has brought us a film adaptation of...

by BrianKoller - Top 50, Sep 23 '99
Pros: special effects, story, sets
Cons: cartoonish, cast, aliens
"Men in Black" is a black comedy. It stars Tommy Lee Jones as a member of a quasi-government agency that monitors and occasionally tangles with the aliens among us. You may not have been aware of it, but for decades now aliens from all over the...
