Men in Black


This is an enjoyable film, I don't know how accurate it is to the comics but as a standalone, I thought it was pretty neat.  The special effects obviously hasn't aged as well but it's still pretty good, only in the final scene where you get to see the antagonist's true form does it look fake.  There are some iconic scenes here which are fairly memorable.  The plot isn't too complex and at times, it feels a little simple (especially once it finishes and you think about what had happened, which isn't very much).  The film is mainly about Jay learning about the hidden world of aliens, which doesn't leave much time for anything else.  The more well known characters from the Men in Black universe are here, which is great, even if they don't have much screen time or have an important role.  Some dialogue and scenes were a bit cheesy though.
