MEN IN BLACK 2 trailer here!
Hey folks, Harry here with the latest trailer to grace the glory of Apple's Quicktime Movie Trailer Page. The latest is the trailer for MEN IN BLACK 2 which is going out on prints of ALI. First off, I have to say this is a terrible idea, as it puts the viewer in the wrong mental state to see a serious film about ALI, undermining the credibility of the lead actor before he so much as has an opening scene. Of course it won't sink the film for ya, but it doesn't help. In addition to all that though, the trailer just doesn't play particularly great. Much like the BLADE 2 trailer it feels and conveys.... MORE OF THE SAME. Now the biggest problem is that it looks like the first movie in reverse. K is now the new recruit.... Joy. But personally I have the feeling that they've got some cool stuff in store for us, but all I know, is this time, they better blow the earth up, cause otherwise we'll see anything else coming. hehehehe, just kidding.

Checked it out a couple of hours ago...looks like a lot of fun, but I just can't see it as anything other than a let-down...I guess I'm just not a sequel kinda guy, not counting trilogies...that said, I'll be first in line opening weekend...but the subway bug looks sorta fake.
PS>Although nobody appears to have posted yet, I refuse to say "First!" -
Well, even if I'm not first, will anybody else bother to use this particular talkback? MIB was cool, the Ghostbusters of the 90s. Let us hope that MIB 2 does not share that sequel doom that GB did, and end up smelling like it's number. More of the same? Let us hope not. And in case anyone involved with the movie reads this--MIB, like most immensely popular films, are popular because they are new and exciting. More-of-the-same doesn't work. Go figure.
-
I can't wait for MIB2.I loved the first one and this does look like more of the same but thats not a bad thing.
-
More of the same, sure. Reversal, ok. Wild wild west, nuff said. Hope Big Trouble can fix the run Barrys on. Of'course the only two types of films he's been good at are witty crime and comic sci-fi.(MIB and Get Shorty) and the next two are cut from the same freakin cloth.

Gang's of New York has been pushed back to July 12, 2002.

Men In Black was nothing but fun. Come on! At under 90 minutes, they did it just right. Wild Wild West was utter crap. Tried the same feel in a western setting and it didn't work at all! Thank god I took the bad word-of-mouth to heart and waited for video. After seeing this trailer, I've got that fun feeling again. As long as they don't linger on the fact that K doesn't remember anything, and skip to the entertaining chase, they can do it again. I'm not a Will Smith fan, but this one will stay on my summer radar. Almost makes me want to go out and by the MIB CE dvd at long last.
-
First off this trailer seems funny. It'll be a good sequel. Not a great movie but a good decent sequel kinda like "Rush Hour 2", "American Pie 2" or "The Mummy Returns". Harry, mI'm still so so disappointed with your review of ALI. I was looking forward to your review and I'm really mad that you didn't like it. Too bad. Is Moriarty going to review ALI as well? See Ya
-
like a month ago i read a review of a trailer of MIB 2 and this is not the same trailer he says he saw, remenber the gay that says ,"sony is testing the trailer for men in black 2"
-
I was never really a huge fan of the original MEN IN BLACK. To me it was just another summer flick to fill in the gaps between THE LOST WORLD and AIR FORCE ONE, not really a movie that made a big impression on me. Don't get me wrong, there was some fun to be had... it just wasn't anything that hadn't been done with GHOSTBUSTERS over a decade earlier. Still, this movie looks like more of the same... something to pass the time and fill the gaps between SPIDER-MAN and EPISODE II. Nothing wrong with that.
-
Oh what did we expect? A completely different style of story, with Will and the female Doctor that was promised at the end of the first? As if! First rule of Hollywood sequels: Don't mess with the formular, and the formular is this:
Old white guy has to work with young black guy (lots of laughs right there.. hmmm) and they defend the earth from aliens. So, for a sequel, dispose of the girl, get the old white guy back, find a new alien, add a script, make the film EXACTLY 1 and a half hours long because ol' Barry does love his perfect film length (I wonder if it upsets Sonnenfeld that it loses a few minutes in the conversion to PAL for UK audiences?) and there you go, watch the money roll in.
Pity...
I mean, come on.. after seeing the sequel to the Addams Family, it's pretty obvious Ol' Barry is very much a producer's director, one who does what he's told and applies his style to whatever he's told to without argument or any of this "pretentious creative rubbish" producers don't like to hear about. -
Remember what Moriarty said about "not settling" for the crap studios shove in front of us as "events"...will this be a case in point? Then again, it can't be worse than "Evolution". They should have had the balls to play AC/DC on this trailer. God I'm cranky. I miss Ghostbusters...

What the hell are you guys talking about? The teaser is COOL!
by cooldan989
I think it's very clever to play this movie out the opposite the first one did! The sequel is SUPPOSED to be different! If this movie was the exact same thing as the last one, would you guys see it? I'll take that as a no. Plus, after movie after movie where Tommy Lee Jones plays the head honcho, Men In Black being a prime example, it's nice to see Tommy Lee Jones finally being the inferior main character of the story! Also, can we please emphasize the fact that this is only a TEASER? The full trailer will spell out how wrong you guys are, and the movie itself will knock your socks off! I read a script review about this movie that was posted months ago, and it looks like a damn cool movie, with a finale that will outnumber the first 10 to 1! So MIB fans, don't lose hope, because this sequel will be sure to please!

by brooklyn bred
Personally I want to see Will in ID4-2 or ID-5

Looked like the bus was being eaten by the Sarlacc from JEDI.
by monkey_king
Was this film written by the same folks responsible for the TV cartoon? If so, it just might be good. Billy West doing the wormguy voices? Another nice touch.

The logo sucks. MIIB? M,"Eye","Eye",B? Men Two Black? I know, Boys II Men!

Men In Black was a stupid film, but somehow I made it to the end
by eternal
I don't think history will repeat itself, tho, it's hard to enjoy the same shit twice. (Mummy Returns was an exception - yeah, yeah, a mindless popcorn flick... sue me). But sometimes dumb movies just entertain in a way that intelligent ones don't. I'm kinda sad that Fiorentino didn't reprise her role, I'd like to see her in the black outfit & shades again. Her character was pretty cool. I can't say the same for "annoying as hell" Will Smith, but he was more tolerable here than his other films, and I only had the urge to vomit once.... Anyway, MIB2 could be good but I ain't holding my breath.
-
And I think he's losing his hair. Can this blow more beets than MIB #1?

The fact is...why, in Toy Story 2, didn't Woody remember having been a star of Woody's Round-Up. Buzz was a Space Ranger and knew from the get-go. Now when confronted with another Buzz, he does say something to the effect of 'tell me I was never like that.' Indicating either embarrasment or a lack of memory. But he DID remember having been a Space Ranger. So what's Woody's excuse? That he's old? I don't buy it. I'll tell you the facts boys and girls, Woody can't remember because he is a toy who is possessed by a spirit. That's right a spirit. He's possessed by the soul of Andy's dead father. When Andy's dad died (of course they never make mention of this in the films as it would disturb the younger children) he could not bear to leave his wife and children behind so instead of going into the light he went into his son's favorite toy, Woody. You may say, well why doesn't he remember being Andy's father either? And to that I must indicate that I don't know. Maybe it has to do with ghosts being dumb shits or something like that...I mean if I was a ghost I'd travel the world or haunt the White House or Jennifer Aniston's panties or something cool like that. But what do they do, nothing, they just hang around old hallways and attics, making cold spots and shaking the china. This is not a sign of intelligence my friends. Anyway, where was I? Oh yes, now I remember...Men in Black II looks cool. Good night and God bless.

"What are you kids, on dope?" I thought the first "MIB" was hilarious. A very witty sci-fi/comedy with fantastic f/x, great chemistry between the two leads, a funny premise, cool sight gags, etc. I think it's almost on the same level as "Ghostbusters". Only losing points because "GB" did it first. Anyway, looks like summer, 2002 is shaping up to be far better than 2001. Could it be any worse? Anyway, this is just my humble opinion. What do I know? I didn't even care for LOTR and I'm definitely in the minority on that one. Peace.
-
I don't know why it was so successful, but I think it SUCKED SH!T. Not serious enough to be sci-fi, not funny enough to be comedy, not intense enough to be action... the tv cartoon was pretty good, though.
-
MIB was very good, and I'm hoping MIB2 will deliver likewise.
-
Which was a far,far better film, and a lot more fun.Bug from outer space , lands takes over human host , hunted by mismatched FBI'esque duo.powerful but tiny alien guns...it was all there.After wild wild West , I'm surprised they've let this director anywhere near another movie.
-
But Will looks like crap. The guy looks.....unhealthy. Maybe it's all the weight he had to lose after ali.
....and i dunno, maybe he's going bald, but that's a bad haircut too. It's too short. -
Yes, The Hidden is a gem of a movie. However, I don't see the "rip off" of MIB - the two "mismatche" FBI agents in The Hidden? Well, one was an alien in a human host. Hmmm. Also, the alien host jumped from body to body. MIB? Uh, nope stayed in Vincent D'Onofrio's bod all the way through. The Hidden was much darker in content and ending - while MIB is lighter. I would say MIB was more influenced by The X-Files and "Area 56" government conspiracy lore than The Hidden. Hey, nice try, though. Oh - I really did like this trailer - let's hope Barry Sonnenfield is back on track.........
-
I have one word to say, and that word is "BORING!" God, what an unoriginal idea. Instead of training Will Smith, let's train Tommy Lee Jones! Let comedy ensue! Next summer's gonna suck.
-
"Smokey and the Bandit 3...Smokey IS the Bandit!" (best said with a fake Albert Einstein accent)
-
I hope the government bends you over a chair and fucks you inside out!! YOU MONOPOLIZING BASTARD! Every time a trailer is offered its always Quicktime! Would it KILL you movie companies to give us a choice? GIVE ME REALPLAYER, OR GIVE ME DEATH!!!
-
you act like "The Hidden" created all that shit, possession of other things has been done up and down the board. And tiny things turning out to be really powerful is one of the oldest sightgags in the book. And lay off Sonnennfeld, the movie was fine until fucking Columbine and all the movie studios ran around and rewrote, clipped, and fucked up everything. He had nothing to do with the overall crappiness of the story. Man i'm in rare form tonight.

Does anyone know if the MIB concept was ripped off from BROTHER
by cash bailey
Because John Sayles and David Strathairn are billed as 'Men in Black', and in one scene the put on some cool black shades as they hunt for Joe Morton. Just a thought.
-
Merry buttsex everyone! :)
-
Harry, stop being a Grinch and lighten up a little. It's not like nobody knows that Will Smith wasn't a comedy actor before he got the Ali role. As to this being more of the same, well, I liked MIB !It wasn't even a guilty pleasure...just a total one. It was good, goofy fun. Kind of like a sci-fi "Ghostbusters". I like that they've waited a few years before making a sequel, I like that it seems to be more of the same, with a little role reversal. I like that it's coming out in the same summer as Spiderman & Ep 2, only a little later. Damn....I like everything right now !

MIB is based on the comic of the same name...MIB..doh!
by shub-wankalot
A movie rips off concepts in the comics of the same name...who would've thunk!
-
asorry cash. First, Brother From Another Planet is actually a variation of the Underground Railroad on a cosmic scale. The Railroad was the excape route for runaway slaves from the South to the North during the Civial War. The parallels in the movie are quite obvious (they went even so far as to have the museum sequence mention the Underground Railroad as expository dialogue). As for the "Men In Black" reference, the black suits have been a UFO rumor for many years vefore the movie, even winding up in the old 1984(?)Blue Oyster Cult song, "Take Me Away" QUOTE:"Strange shapes light up the night.
I've never seen 'em though I hope I might.
Don't ask if they are real.
The men in black, their lips are sealed"
-
Good to see at least one person in these talkbacks willing to reply in a coherent manner to a seriously intentioned question. I'm also happy there's at least one person who knows BROTHER FROM ANOTHER PLANET.
-
... is because if you look at the credits, on the second card at the top, is the legend that is JOHNNY KNOXVILLE. Let's hope the movie starts with him going, "Hi, I'm Johnny Knoxville, welcome to a cash-cow..."
-
But I didn't get Fargo at all. It was all a bit...average. We had a top 100 here in the UK recently, and all the pundits were saying "yeah, it's a black comedy. It's really funny, because everyone has a funny accent." Well har har. If we made a dull kidnap/murder movie where everyone had a Solihull accent, would it be funny? Oh wait, yes it would...++++++++++ Men in Black was a pile of toss. Films can be fun, popcorn movies and still retain humour, excitement and a decent story, like Ghostbusters, Bill and Ted, Animal House. But that's just my opinion.
-
Don't diss Fargo!
-
but Bill Gates is still a fucker. By the way, you don't have to be a snooty,depressed,self-important,jackass to enjoy Moulin Rouge and repeatedly watch it. But i'm sure it might help some.
-
Actually, Bill Gates owns 30% of Apple. Remember when he gave them a whole lot of money to bail them out? But still, you should only bitch about Bill Gates and trailers if the trailer was released in WMV or some other Windows-only video type.
-
...for his brilliant ability to read the psychology of the movie going public. He's so good with people and has his finger on the pulse of Joe Moviegoer that I am really surprised he hasn't landed a deal with a major studio as an executive. Does he really think that a trailer for a movie affects how we watch the next movie? Do ads affect how we watch a TV show? What if we saw an ad for Scream during Friends, does that affect how we see Courtney Cox in the next scene on Friends? "Oh my God, look out behind you it's a killer! No, wait, that's only Joey." It may affect idiots who cannot differentiate reality from fantasy or morons with the attention span of a ferret on a double espresso but the rest of the world seems to manage just fine, thank you very much!
-
All the way at the top, someone makes a comment about something someone else said, you search and search, and find the first comment, which is in reply to another comment, that turns out to be in the middle?! How the hell does that happen?
That needs to be worked out, I like a treasure hunt as much as anybody but sometimes I just wanna read the stupid discussion -
Ok, now I have to rent it. How can you not enjoy a depressing post apocoliptic musical with canibalism? If the movie really is that, I think its a great idea!
