Review of Men in Black (1997) by Francisco R — 28 Mar 2012

Men in Black is a really great movie, it's original and it's funny, I had a great time, it's just a simple movie that I hihgly recommend, it envolves everything you'd want in a moive, it has action, sience ficion and comedy and don't forget the great cast. Sow, waching Men in Black was amazing, let me tell you why, cause I just had fun and this movie was very simple, if there's anything about it, I don't remember any. Overall, I highly recommend Men in Black, I think it stands as an icone of movies, the acting was great, the jokes were also great, the plot was really smart and this movie knew how to separate Sci-Fi from comedy and comedy from action, but still doing an amazing original film. If you don't trust me, go check MiB's rate at IMDb (7.1) and go research about how many Oscar-nominations did it get and how many Oscars did it won. Sow, watch Men in Black if you haven't, it will kept your attention right at the beginning and right at the end you'll have no regret of watching it, it's really a simple, very well done, excellent in the technical aspects and excellent in almost everything else. Fantastic movie.

Barry Sonnenfeld directed this movie, he did a great job with everything and he directed several movies and I have no problem saying that this was his best so far. Tommy Lee Jones is great here, he had a great perfomance and I think he was an excellent choise, Tommy is known from No Country for Old Men, The Fugitive, The Company Men and some other movies. Will Smith was great as always, he also made me laugh and I think he was a great choise, Will is known from Ali, The Pursuit of Happyness, I, Robot, Independence Day and some other movies. Linda Fiorentino was no big deal, that's all, Linda is known from After Hours, The Last Seduction, Dogma and some other movies. Sow, as you can see, the two main stars were a fantastic choise, Tommy and Will are two terrific actors and they were a perfect choise for this movie, they had an amazing chemistry, they just sparkled and they were one of this movie's highlights. They were the "terrificness" of the cast and the heart of the movie. Terrific cast.

Two men who keep an eye on aliens in New York City must try to save the world after the aliens threaten to blow it up.(What I thought about the plot) I loved the plot, especially its concept, two men who protect the earth from the scum of the Universe, I really liked the concept, the plot was also great, it was clever and it had a few very interesting details in it. The movie really worked well, a story about aliens would always be able to not work, but this movie surprisingly worked very well. They came up with a fantastic idea for the movie's concept and they also written the plot very well. The plot didn't had that much depth, I mean, it was very simple, what made the movie being simple and I just loved how well that happened. Overall, I didn't dislike anything about the plot, I just loved all of it, every single part, it had a good plot but also the kind of plot that had chances to not go well, but well, here I am saying that I loved Men in Black, so I loved the plot and the concept. Great plot.

Soundtrack, well, the soundtrack was amazing, it was worthy of an Oscar-nomination for Danny Elfman, wich he really deserved. The special effects were great, well I should be talking about the make-up for te aliens, wich were great and were worthy of a very deserved Oscar. The action was great, there was men against aliens, cool weapons, everything, this movie's action scenes were great.

Besides all that, I am now going to tell you what I really thought about this movie. First of all, I don't think there's anyone in the world that I can't recommend to watch Men in Black, it's really amazing all around, I had an amazing time and I don't think that anyone can watch it and say the opposite. Men in Black was a weird movie considering that it's a movie from the 90's, but let me tell you something, it was one of the best movies of the 90's, I say it again, Men in Black is a movie full of comedy, Sci-Fi and action wich were well separated that provides you a great time where you'll have 100% fun. Do you want to watch a complex movie where you almost don't have fun watching it by being too attached to it and not relax at all? Than don't watch MiB. Do you want to watch a simple movie where you can be relaxed at your coutch having an amazing time? Watch MiB right now. Overall, Men in Black is an amazing movie, you'll defenetely enjoy it, it has a terrific cast, a great plot, an outstanding concept, a great achievment in make-up, great action scenes and a huge dose of entertainment. I highly recommend you to watch Men in Black if you haven't, you'll certainly have one of the best times of your life, one of the most interesting and entertaining movies I've ever seen.
