What to Know

Critics Consensus

Lacking the freshness of the first movie, MIB 2 recycles elements from its predecessor with mixed results.

David Ansen Newsweek There are just enough fresh, funny gags and witty throwaways to keep the 88-minute "MIB2" percolating. Mar 8, 2018 Full Review Nell Minow Common Sense Media Crazy creatures, some scares, and loads of fun. Rated: 4/5 Dec 26, 2010 Full Review Jonathan Rosenbaum Chicago Reader The down-home satire of how we cope with cultural difference has evaporated, replaced by jazzy effects that wear out their welcome by the halfway mark. Apr 18, 2007 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review Represents a long-established trend in Hollywood where franchises resolve to Xerox the first entry. Rated: 0.5/4 Oct 19, 2022 Full Review Mike Massie Gone With The Twins Odd grotesqueries that seem ill-fitted for a comical adventure compose much of the character designs, weakening the impact of events and the likeliness of being memorable. Rated: 4/10 Nov 7, 2020 Full Review Debbie Lynn Elias Behind The Lens And film afficionados everywhere will not be lost on some inside jokes and cameos- the funniest of which revolves around some cheesy special effects with wires and tin foil which has Agent Jay commenting that it 'looks like Spielberg's work'.

Estevan G Was a fun movie definitely happy to see Frank the pug have a bigger role. When I was younger I thought it was going to connect to the cartoons but it didn't but that taught me a lesson that I think carried through the rest of my life about continuity when it comes to TV versus the movies. Still a very fun movie. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 11/25/24 Full Review Melvyn B 4th best.... International is 🗿!! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/12/24 Full Review Marco R Unlike the first, and third, this is also a good movie even though it doesn’t have Agent L appear, I liked that they give Frank the Pug more screen time in the movie, and my favorite part with Frank is in the scene where he sings “I Will Survive” in the car, which annoys J. It might not resemble the first, but it’s hilarious and action-packed. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/05/24 Full Review Ethan G "MIBII" is still as creative and stylistic as its predecessor, despite some familiar themes and predictable plot points. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 05/21/24 Full Review Conrad C Just as wacky as the first, and Will Smith's character still feels fresh, but it was a little early to pull Tommy Lee Jones out of retirement, and the very promising Linda Fiorentino is very notably absent in this outing. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/17/24 Full Review Elijah B They should've stopped here Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/16/23 Full Review Read all reviews
