Kay and Jay reunite to provide our best, last and only line of defense against a sinister seductress who levels the toughest challenge yet to the MIB's untarnished mission statement – protecting Earth from the scum of the universe. It's been four years since the alien-seeking agents averted an intergalactic disaster of epic proportions. Now it's a race against the clock as Jay must convince Kay – who not only has… From TMDB

60 of 69 · most liked firstVery interesting that Men in Black II, a film about a government agency tasked with protecting us from evil aliens (who are explicitly as part of the joke coded as immigrants), came out the year before they launched ICE. feels like there should be more conspiracy theories about that

I apologized and asked if anyone had seen it, and one guy replied that he had because “I love classic cinema.” Just bury me in the ground already.

In the same show, they also panned "Men in Black II", but praised "Like Mike", "The Crocodile Hunter: Collision Course" and "Songs from the Second Floor".

positive · AI labelView post →It’s so weird that they made a Men in Black and a Men in Black III but never made a film called ”Men in Black II”. Maybe the name was already taken by another, unrelated film?

neutral · AI labelView post →Men in Black II (2002) This one is a let down compared to the first film. It's too bad since there's elements that I like, such as the visuals, world-building, and J's development, but it's weighed down by legacy sequel tropes and a significantly less stellar story
negative · AI labelView post →Men in Black II is my pick: a muddle of a film that tarnished the franchise and hung over the third installment which actually has a lot going for it. Dawn of Justice (the extended cut) doesn't deserve to be on this list. Visually strong and does what Snyder set out to do in an entertaining way.

neutral · AI labelView post →Ooooh this is such a cool point, Olivia! I never even thought about the "watcher vs being watched" aspect of this scene! I focused on the movie posters visible at 45:15, especially Men in Black II, and how each film felt very Western. I'm thinking more on this aspect of the scene now though, thanks!

neutral · AI labelView post →81) Men in Black II (Rewatch) I like this movie a bit more than the first. It's more involved and has more fun world-building beyond the first movie's, while also giving the side characters more to work with. Jokes are better too, despite a few that fall flat from how unfunny they are. #Kimo2026

I’d already seen both (Spider-Man possibly twice already) but that was my first double feature in theatres.

There are some entertaining moments that just about offset all the bad bits to make this average. The story is quite badly written, it’s just a rehash of the first film. hellholehorror.wordpress.com/2025/09/18/m...

negative · AI labelView post →I watched Men in Black II. 7.5/10. Lifeless, dull movie, but the charisma and chemistry of Will Smith & Tommy Lee Jones prevents it from being a complete disaster. Nothing about it is good other than their performances, do not recommend. Nice to have a competent J after thirteen days of MIBTS.

Much to stink about... anyway, what's the worst/most unnecessary sequel you can think of? Hard mode: excluding the new Ghostbusters

I didn't like they way they undid the ending of the first movie and none of the new characters were interesting.

positive · AI labelView post →Men In Black II: Not as bad as I thought it was going to be when I read up on the critic reviews. It does have some similar beats as the first movie, but it's still a fun movie. Although the villain perfomance is very bland.
