4.0 out of 5 stars Legitimately entertaining all these years later, April 17, 2009
By Howlinw (California, USA) - See all my reviews
The sci fi genre hasn't been too kind to us humans. Our cities have been torched by alien spaceships or death rays, stomped on by monsters, flooded, frozen, flooded and frozen, attacked by ancient demons, subjected to diseases that turned many residents into zombies...you get the picture. Global destruction has been threatened - and narrowly averted - many a time as well. Chalk it up to boredom and/or appreciation for the vivid imagination of certain members of the directorial community, but audiences flock to see fictional representations of themselves menaced by all sorts of threats. Honestly, and I say this with the knowledge that I have been one of these audience members more times than I can count, it can get a little old.

When this movie came along there wasn't a whole lot like it out there in the sci fi canon. The closest thing was Ghostbusters, a classic 80s comedy that set the tone for future cinematic ventures into the realm of tongue-in-cheek sci fi/supernatural humor. MiB takes the same happy-go-lucky comedic formula one step further, imagining a world where aliens walk among us disguised as "regular" (or irregular as the case may be) people. The possibilities with this concept were/are virtually limitless, and the film does a good job exploring them while reining in any tendencies to stray too far from the plotline. It can be a tad formulaic at times but the originality and creativity that is evident outweighs the film's obvious flaws.

The sci fi genre needs Spaceballs, Ghostbusters and MiB just as much as it needs The Day The Earth Stood Still, the Star Trek movies or Independence Day. None of it should be taken too seriously, but at least with this film and its thematic kindred, you probably won't be the only person in the theater chuckling at what's happening onscreen.

5.0 out of 5 stars MIB, one of my favorites, November 13, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
My VHS copy had tape sticking out of the cassette and one of my cats spotted it and thought it was ribbon I guess. Needless to say, she tore sections out of it. So much for repairing it. I immediately went to Amazon and bought a new one. This time, DVD. Cat proof.

5.0 out of 5 stars It's a bug-a-boo, November 5, 2009
People go through life oblivious to the reality around them. As pointed out in this movie, at one time everyone knew the world was flat; and now everyone knows we are alone in the universe. But what if we are wrong? Who will protect us? "Men in black used to be the term for the bad guys. This movie shows they are our last line of defense. This is a fun movie and there are many great actors to add to the fun.

Every one is so busy watching Tommy Lee Jones make his stoic looks and Will making one-liners that they miss the person that hold it all together. In addition, that person has to do act throughout the movie in an Edgar suit. Have you ever tried one on? Vincent D'Onofrio has to look unnatural and act natural. This was one movie where I felt sorry for the bug. He even drops his snack (Linda Fiorentino) near the end. It just shows that bugs lead a hard life.

If you are into recent bug movies, look for "Out There" where they mention bugs in a rug
