I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

The movie really just wants to entertain people.

A boy of interest was coming over and this was one of the first things that came up when i clicked on Action/adventure on Netflix, I decided this would be a good one considering most people think it's an oldie but a goodie... WRONG!!!!!!!!! It was the most awkward beginning to anything EVER the intro feels like it's an hour long of just following a bug around random places.. not ideal for the first "hangout" with a person of interest. This movie made my experience in the beginning a very awkward occasion and I am not pleased. Thank you and goodbye I hope you netflix and chillers learn from my experience

This movie is funny, entertaining, and well worth watching. The effects, action, and acting are all spectacular. Except for a few dumb plot devices this movie is perfect. It is extremely entertaining and worth watching. I would highly recommend this fun, well-made masterpiece.

Continuing my plan to watch every Will Smith movie in order, I come to Men In Black (1997)Plot In A Paragraph: A New York police officer (Smith) joins a secret organization that polices and monitors extraterrestrial interactions on Earth.How do you follow the highest movie of the year, was the problem facing Will Smith, and truthfully he chose very well!! With the movie and the the song, he was everywhere!! But personally I've never really got this movie, I thought it was watchable at the time, and have never thought more about it when I have caught it on TV in the 20 years since. I always though the Will Smith song Men In Black, was better than the movie itself. The only thing I really enjoyed, was seeing Sly Stallone as one of the Aliens being monitored on a big screen. Watching it back to back with Bad Boys and Independence Day. Will Smith's cocky act is beginning to irritate me a bit. I didn't notice it at the time, as in 1997, I dancing along in night clubs to his various hit singles like Getting Jiggy Wit it, Miami and the theme song from this. Isolated it didn't bother me, watching it them together, it's a bit tiresome. Tommy Lee Jones is the best thing in this movie. His timing is perfect. Men In Black grossed $306 million at the domestic box office, to end 1996 the 2nd highest grossing movie of the year. If it wasn't for Titanic, this would have ran away with it, as it was well clear of Jurassic Park 2.

This is, by far, one of the best cast-driven movies I've ever seen. The plot itself is ridiculous and the visuals are even more so. However the combination of Will Smith and the not-so-subtle straight men -- Tommy Lee Jones and Rip Torn -- makes the movie work. This is a movie that makes "Trite" work, exceptionally well. It's still my favorite MiB movie, closely followed by number 3. I do like sci-fi that doesn't take itself too seriously. If you're the same, this is a fun 2 hours.The one-liners are non-stop..."I AM half the man you are""We at the FBI do not have a sense of humor that we are aware of""I'm gonna come back and talk to you about them Rolexes"
