Men In Black/Galaxy Quest

Good film One of seen before, but good to watch again

Usual 2 stars excellent

With it's sublime blend of sci-fi action and comedy, Men In Black is a winning mix, whether you like this sort of thing or not. It really does have something for everyone.If you don't like action there's plenty of comedy. If you don't like sci-fi, there's plenty of action. And there's even a broad range of comedy to suit everybody's humour.Tommy Lee Jones and Will Smith couldn't be better suited to each other. With Smith's over the top enthusiasm, coupled with Jones dry wit, this is one of the best cinematic pairings ever on screen. They play off each other, complement each other, and are the best thing in a fantastic movie.For the first time you watch Men In Black, the storyline is actually quite gripping, as the two intergalactic secret agents try and solve a crime before the end of the world. It does keep you guessing, and intrigued. Of course, by the 100th time you watch this film - and it really is that good that you will watch it a lot - the storyline will be known inside out, but you will keep watching because of the sharp banter between the two leads.The special effects even hold up well today, particularly Mikey, the first alien character you meet. A nice blend of Rick Baker puppetry, to neat ILM CGI.An impressive cast, a well paced film which will leave you breathless with its action, while trying to laugh at its jokes at the same time, Men In Black is a serious modern classic.Ufortunately the same can't be said of the DVD extras. (If you are a DVD extras kinda person, then maybe this film should only get 4 stars, but I only judge a DVD from the film. Extras, whether they are good or not, don't change a poor film.) Because Men In Black was one of the first DVDs to come out, the extras were quite groundbreaking, but we've been spoiled recently, and so they have paled in comparison.They tend to focus on the technical side of things - make up, effects, storyboards - and can get a bit boring. But there's a semi-decent effort with a retrospective look at the film, and Will Smith's excellent video to his Men In Black theme song.

This first and best outing of MIB was something new was sci-fi but not as we know it. It takes the tabloid stories and turns them on their head by starting form the point that they were true and not made up hyped. What let it down is that it tries stretch the joke too far and too long. It repeat itself and goes too far so that is stops been funny and the plot is literally lost. A shame as it could have been a really great film not just a good one.

This is a great film all the way through.

Still as good as I remember, very funny.

There are time when you sit down in front of the TV after a full day and you just want to be entertained by something fun and feelgood and a bit silly. Shrek does this for me, and a Kinght's Tale. Men in Black falls into this category. I've been meaning to add it to my collection for ages...and now I have. Simple as that. Five stars for a fun escaspist movie. The combination of Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones (for whom I have a particular soft spot) is terrific.

Very happy with the purchase dispatched and delivered quickly. Easily the best of the run. Smith n Lee Jones have great chemistry.

If you must have a DVD version of this movie, let it be this one, absolutely feature packed and second best looking (compared to the Superbit DVD version, which is a decent bit harder to find), it even has the DVD-ROM features from the prior releases that contained them (though they don't work well under modern Windows or Linux under WINE)

Ottimo film da guardare in una serata spensierata con gli amici o la famiglia. Per problemi col corriere la prima spedizione è andata smarrita, ma il venditore ha subito provveduto ad un secondo invio in tempi brevissimi senza costi aggiuntivi. Estremamente disponibile, cordiale e professionale.

Todo bien

Don't get me wrong, I'm not a huge men in black fan anymore but I wanted to share this movie with my daughter and the only place I could find it was when amazon! Great nostalgia!

Good
