    Very 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 used a Men in Black II reference a few years back, before realizing the movie came out the same year many of them were born. 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.

    Well, for better or worse, Ebert and Roeper's review of Cartoon Network's "The Powerpuff Girls Movie" has now surfaced. They trashed it. 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".

    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?

    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

  • jiffygoldenbum.bsky.social @jiffygoldenbum.bsky.socialBluesky · Aug 5, 2025

    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.

    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!

    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

    One of my favourite memories of this movie back in the day wasn’t even just seeing the movie but when Sony re-released it at the end of the Summer in a double feature with Men In Black II. I’d already seen both (Spider-Man possibly twice already) but that was my first double feature in theatres.

    The greatest spoken line in any movie was delivered by Tommy Lee Jones in Men In Black II. “It rains because you’re sad, baby.” With his soft fatherly tone and his slight Texan drawl, telling her that the worst times of her life were actually filled with magic she never knew she had.
