Men in Black (+ BD Live) [Blu-ray]

Mr. Jones' and Mr. Smith's chemistry in this movie is remarkable (and Rip Torn and Tony Shalhoub are great, too). I normally avoid buying DVDs of comedies because for me even the best don't always hold up well after repeated viewings (they get stale). This one definitely maintains its freshness.

I was skeptical about the "Superbit" version, given the over-hype of most video and sound technologies, but, since I was able to get it "pre-owned" at a good price, I figured "Why not?". Visually, it's stunning, and the audio is awesome. In the future, if there's a Superbit version of a movie I want to buy, that's the one I'll get.

Tommy Lee Jones and Will Smith are great actors, but not in this film. "Men in Black" is about as realistic as winning the lottery every day for a week. On the good side, its violence is not to be taken seriously, and it probably is a great family show for those with 6-10 year-old children.

Ten years later, and this movie is still as funny as the first day it premiered in theaters. This movie has everything that makes a sci-fi fan drool; a great story mixed with funny characters, cool sets and fantastic looking aliens. Tommy Lee Jones and Will Smith definitely make the movie work as they argue between each other. Watching the movie, you can tell that this was either going to be a major blockbuster or a major disaster. I have seen this movie at least ten times and it still hasn't lost its charm. If you have never seen this movie, then this is definitely a must see. It is a really fun movie with everything that you would want out of a movie, including a great soundtrack.

The actors are great, the concept is clever, the script is sharp, and the direction is fast-paced. You won't give it a serious thought once you finish the viewing, except for the fact that you realize you won't mind seeing it again someday, because it gave you quite a nice time.

I love this film.

This movie has more satirical content than any other sci-fi parody I'd ever seen before.

It's great to see the interplay between Wil Smith and Tommy Lee Jones here. What a great pairing - such mutual respect and high regard.

Make sure to look out for the "near cameo" appearance of Tony Shaloub near the beginning of the film. Was growing a new head the reason for Monk's OCD?

The sequel was nowhere near this original. Enjoy it, even if you're not a big sci-fi fan!
