This film is the sequel to Men in Black I, and is based off the Malibu/Marvel comics, of the same name, written by Lowell Cunningham. This film follows Agent J who is continuing on his work at MiB, and having trouble keeping a partner. When Serleena arrives to retrieve the Light of Zartha, J finds himself forced to bring back agent K. 

This film was directed by Barry Sonnenfeld. This film carried on after the popularity of its first film. However, this film failed to receive the full success that the first one had. This went more for a comical kind of cheesiness feel. The story was a great. It had a deep emotional story that was full of comedy. It was great seeing more of the Pug alien, and the worms, in this film. It was also nice knowing that most of them was puppetry work. They added a lot of personality to the film. The other aliens were done amazingly well. The animation done for Serleena's alien form was great. It made her appear highly menacing. The special effects were good, but failed to compare to the first film. This is a film that you'll enjoy seeing once in a while, but not an cult classic. 

Most of the actors were good. It was great seeing the two leading actors return for this film. Will Smith played the role of Agent J. He was great in this film keeping true to his established character from the first film. Tommy Lee Jones played the role of Agent K. He was great playing the stoic opposite to Will Smith. The two together provide great sarcastic humour that makes them great to watch. Lara Flynn Boyle played the role of Serleena. She was okay, but she was the general cheesy villain. Johnny Knoxville played the role of Scrad/Charlie. He went way too over the top cheesy with his two characters. Rosario Dawson played the role of Laura Vasquez. She was good at being the general heroine.

I give this film 3 out of 5 stars! It had plenty of potential, but it fail short a lot of the time. It felt like a film made more children. A lot of it stemmed from its cheesiness.
