a classic action/sci-fi movie!! Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones are awesome and the special effects are cool!! Along with the action comes funny humor and great fun. Even though there are some gross parts, it's still a classic movie.

Well made and a overall great movie. Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones are both good. The story is nice and so is the plot.

"Men In Black" is really a lot of fun. While not the most brilliant script ever, there were some great one liners and also a really fun story. Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones worked wonderfully together.

  The snappy sci-fi hoot Men in Black...is a kind of "Independence Day" for smart people.

  The smartest, funniest, and best-looking sci-fi comedy since the movies learned to morph.

  The script by Ed Solomon is tight, well-paced and lighthearted. If this were a musical, Fred Astaire could have played the Jones role, although somewhat more dashingly.

  Sonnenfeld moves things along with alacrity and panache, serving up the exotic visuals quietly, blending in the sprightly humour efficiently, and keeping the mix at a rolling boil.

  Sonnenfeld deftly orchestrates the intricate two-part harmony, and Smith and Jones -- a powerhouse comic pair -- make it all look easy.

  Behind its mask of deadpan goofiness, it's a friendly, clever picture, one that doesn't feel untouched by human hands. And at an hour-and-a-half, it doesn't wear out its welcome.

  Don't expect any psychological depth here, but the cool wit and fun... are deftly maintained, and Sonnenfeld provides a bountiful supply of both fanciful beasties and ingenious visuals.

  Tommy Lee Jones and Will Smith give uproarious comic performances as government agents ordered to keep New York's monsters in Manhattan, where they'll blend right in with the rest of the confusion.

  The movie that "Mars Attacks!" wanted to be, but wasn't. This is a snappy, clever, often-funny motion picture that provides the perfect blend of science fiction-style action with comic dialogue.

  A great goof of a film...However daftly amusing, and periodically inspired, Men in Black is distinctly short on character and plot, even for a cartoon.

  Sonnenfeld, who demonstrated a knack for Gothic comedy in "The Addams Family," brings the same mischievous gleefulness to this deliriously macabre enterprise.

  A genially twisted riff on the familiar alien invaders story, a lively summer entertainment that marries a deadpan sense of humor to the strangest creatures around.
