Men in Black Ratings & Reviews
- AngusMcNutz24 februari 2025Sometimes, you just gotta run back the classics
- Jamie Dunham18 maart 2026the best one was the first one - number 2 was good too... this has the edge
- Leonard Mosca9 februari 2025Another great movie with Will Smith and Tom Lee Jones that's all that needs to be said
- ርልዪረ14 februari 2025Men in Black is the rare breed of a sci-fi blockbuster that film audiences don’t really get the opportunity to see in cinemas anymore… Men in Black possesses a winning combination of movie magic elements, from compelling sci-fi themes to stunning special effects to laugh-out-loud humour that keeps the viewer fixated on the fun plot brimming with clever visuals! An upbeat, memorable score by Danny Elfman starts the film in the right direction, while Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones’ comedic chemistry fits superbly with their tremendously contrasting personalities (amusingly settling into the good cop/bad cop routine with an extraterrestrial sensibility). Perfectly timed one-liners and gobs of sarcasm pile up around imaginative weapons, quaint supporting roles, and a hysterical memory-erasing device that never gets old! What makes this wildly imaginative setup so much fun is the hilarious mix between the deadpan gruffness of Tommy Lee Jones and the charismatic and energetic personality of Will Smith! Choosing to go the route of puppets and primarily practical effects, Men in Black’s look remains striking, even after years of advancing computer graphics. Take note Hollywood! Though hearty laughs are the first goal of the film, the science-fiction atmosphere and imagery are greatly conducive to the cynicism and wit that fuel the script. The verbal gags never cease, nor does the action and adventure. But what makes this project even more delightfully uncommon is that it never relies on jokes or gimmicks to replace character development and heart, components often sacrificed in favour of wild visuals and elaborate concepts, especially when it comes to fledgling space operas. Take note Hollywood! Despite a silly end title rap by Smith himself, Men in Black is a monumentally entertaining, one-of-a-kind experience that went on to receive several Oscar nominations (a rare feat for sci-fi) as well as the Oscar for Best Makeup! Men in Black, running in at a breezy 98 minutes, is a showpiece of how to take something so simple and make it fantastic! It’s quick, eccentric and deadly funny and fit’s likely to be a close encounter you’ll want to see a second and third time…
- TJKPC17 april 2025if you dont give it a 5 out of 5 block me haha
- Nishant Arora18 december 2025A brilliant blend of sci-fi and deadpan comedy that remains a cornerstone of 90s blockbuster filmmaking. The Good: The chemistry between Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones is iconic, perfectly balancing Smith’s high-energy charisma with Jones’s stoic, world-weary delivery. Rick Baker’s practical creature effects are a masterclass in design, giving the aliens a tactile, gross-out realism that CGI often fails to replicate today. Additionally, the film’s pacing is incredibly tight, clocking in at under 100 minutes without wasting a single scene. The Bad: While the world-building is fascinating, the core plot is somewhat thin, acting more as a framework for gags than a complex narrative. The final confrontation with the "Bug" feels slightly abrupt, and the central conflict regarding the Arquillian Galaxy relies on some shaky logic that strains realism, even for a sci-fi comedy. Verdict: It is an imaginative, stylish, and endlessly rewatchable romp that reminds us why it's a genre classic.
- Ddoughnut15 mei 2025Now imagine a movie titled Men In White
- vilhem23 januari 2026Goated frfr
- plexidean4 december 2025One of the best movies of the late 90's
- Richard5 oktober 2025First saw it in the cinema, then picked up the DVD not long after. Still holds up, slick, funny, and packed with charm. Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones are perfect opposites, and the world building is top tier. The practical effects give it a timeless feel and that memory wipe gag never gets old. One of those movies that made me want to rewatch it the moment it ended.
- Matthew Ulm6 februari 2026Generally silly fun and good for the family. Some actors it's pretty early in their career so kewl to see that.
- frostymm4 februari 2026Not all the men were black
- Zokkiie6 januari 2026A clever mix of humor and sci-fi that never feels slow. The special effects still hold up surprisingly well, and the alien designs are memorable. It’s a light, enjoyable watch that’s easy to jump into and hard to forget.
- BEAULONEA16 december 2025For me, MiB marks the pinnacle of ’90s action comedies. The filmmakers strike just the right balance between gags and guns, all wrapped up in a slick sci-fi adventure. While it’s not without its faults, the movie still delivers an exciting story propelled by snappy humor, and quality on-screen chemistry.
- mickerdoo9 juli 2025Action/comedy/sci-fi classic. Perfect blend with a young and old agent. Smith and Jones play well. Engaging story. Laugh out loud moments. Spot on casting.
