Men in Black (1997)
Will Smith + Tommy Lee Jones = love lots of aliens getting killed.
It’s a simple straightforward movie: there’s an alien “problem”, a very “serious – no smile on my face – I mean business – and dress in black suits” government agent named K (Tommy Lee Jones) and a “just came from da hood – know noth’ about this sh..t” NYC cop named J (Will Smith).
They’ve got big guns and at least one’s got an attitude.
We can’t really speak of a plot, it’s all pretty simple: the intergalactic alien terrorist Edgar (Vincent D’Onofrio) is trying to incite an interstellar war that would destroy humanity and the agents have got to deal with the threat.
As any important mission, this one is also top-secret and involves a lot of running / shooting / special effects. The aliens are not too smart at all, but at least the big villain is a difficult opponent.
The witty dialogues and funny scenes, together with some pretty decent special effects (the movie did have a serious budget) make the entire blockbuster an enjoyable one. We’ve also got the “femme fatale” brought to life by Linda Fiorentino.
For those interested in some New York City sightseeing, you can admire the interiors in Guggenheim and see the Shea Stadium).
Don’t expect a life-changing movie or philosophies, it’s a simple “comedy-action” movie with a Sci-Fi twist that can entertain you for 2 hours.

I love this movie. I thought Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones worked really well together. Hopefully the third MIB will be more like this and less like the second one.
