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'.

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.

A lesser version of the first movie but still a fun all right sequel. Also stinks how they back tracked on the first movie alot.

Funny film. Sure maybe not as good as the first one but when is a sequel (except Godfather Part II lol). This movie is a laugh a minute in my opinion if you take off your movie critic hat, get off your high horse and let yourself along for the ride.
