Editorial Review: Amazon.co.uk Review: This imaginative comedy from director Barry Sonnenfeld (Get Shorty) is a lot of fun, largely on the strength of Will Smith's engaging performance as the rookie partner of a secret agent (Tommy Lee Jones) assigned to keep tabs on Earth-dwelling extra-terrestrials. There's lots of comedy to spare in this bright film, some of the funniest stuff found in the margins of the major action (a scene with Smith's character being trounced in the distance by a huge alien while Jones questions a witness is a riot.) The inventiveness never lets up, and the cast--including Vincent D'Onofrio doing frighteningly convincing work as an alien occupying a decaying human--hold up their end splendidly. --Tom Keogh, Amazon.com On the DVD: This Collector's Edition disc contains a "Visual Commentary" that features director Barry Sonenfeld and actor Tommy Lee Jones in an anecdotal conversation, but with the unique twist that they are displayed as silhouettes on your TV screen (imagine you're sitting in the back row of the cinema and they are up front) using a pointer to highlight particular events on screen. If you have a widescreen TV, the menu prompts you to switch to 4:3 mode to see this. There is also a "Visual Effects Scene Deconstruction" in which the tunnel scene and the Edgar Bug fight scene are dissected into their constituent parts; an in-depth documentary, "Metamorphosis of MIB", which charts the progress of the concept from comic book to screen; five "Extended and Alternate" scenes; trailers, including a teaser for MIB II; and Will Smith's "Men in Black" music video. --Mark Walker Average Rating:
 Rating:  - highly overrated movie but okay to watch it onceThis wasn't a particularly amusing movie and I would say its strongest point was its special effects.The story lacked credibility and failed to draw me into the world the writers had tried to create.This was largely because Tommy Lee Jones and Will Smith just didn't seem as scared of the aliens as I think people would be in real life ( particularly aliens this ugly and nasty)and there was no development of characters - their personalities were exactly the same at the end of the film as they were ... Read More Rating: - A pretty average filmThis is one of those films where the hype was bigger than the actual feature itself. I saw it at the pictures and the film was such an anti-climax after in-your-face promotions everywhere. I suppose that what happens though when a film is little more than just a product, and the people who have produced it are desperate to get adverts into every junk food shop going. The music video was burned into everyone's eyes after constantly being pumped out via every TV channel known ... Read More Rating:  - Galactic FunMen In Black is a refreshing, stylish, action-comedy about a top-secret U.S. government agency that protects the galaxy, planet Earth in particular, from extra-terrestrial villains bent on world-wide destruction. In other words, MIB defends us from the "scum of the universe." The plot centers around a veteran MIB agent, Tommy Lee Jones, who decides to train Will Smith, a young, street-wise, fast-talking, NYC policeman, to be his new, alien-exterminating, partner. The story is quick moving, original, has ... Read More Rating:  - Special Edition? Ultimate EditionIf you're viewing this DVD you must have seen the film and I don't need to tell you too much as it's a great sci-fi comedy adventure for all the family. However this DVD is THE pack for this film (as there are so many poor "Men in Black" DVDs) and a definite buy even if you just want to show off the power of DVDs. The extras are truly amazing giving buyers a real insight into the production process from story boards to filming to editing and post production. The "edit a scene to ... Read More Rating: - One Of Wills BestWill smith at the start of the movie plays a new york cop who is approached by a man in a black suit who offers him the opportunity of a lifetime to become a part of one of the most secret organizations in the world. The MIB (Men In Black) is based on a comic book which is based around an original myth that these people actually exist. The MIB are an organization that was put together to control aliens on our planet and basically keep them a secret. Will becomes agent J his cop identity is struck from ...
