Men in Black - 2nd October 2012

Tuesday Night is Film Night carries on digging up films from the past. This week it's back to 1997 for;

Men in Black

A streetwise NYPD detective joins a secret organisation that polices extraterrestrial affairs on Earth.

Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones star in this comedy sci-fi movie from 1997. They play agents J and K, members of a top-secret organisation established to monitor and police alien activity on Earth. The two Men in Black find themselves in the middle of the deadly plot by an intergalactic terrorist who has arrived on Earth to assassinate two ambassadors from opposing galaxies. In order to prevent worlds from colliding, the MiB must track down the terrorist and prevent the destruction of Earth. (Synopsis borrowed from IMDB).

Well, the film maybe from 1997, but we haven't seen it and not being a big fan of sci-fi, I was somewhat sceptical about watching it.
I needn't have worried, the laughs are plentiful, the action fun, the special effects although being 15 years old are really good. Will Smith is as funny as ever, but it's the straight laced Tommy Lee Jones that made me laugh more, he appears stern and straight, but is really funny.

Also, Vincent D'Onofrio who plays the ill fitting alien Edgar is fantastic. As is Linda Fiorentino who plays pathologist Laurel Weaver.

Men in Black is one of those movies, that when you see it again, you will see more gags and more visual humour than you did last time.

A must see, or must see again movie.

Enjoyed it.
