Customer Reviews

Legitimately entertaining all these years later
The sci fi genre hasn't been too kind to us humans. Our cities have been torched by alien spaceships or death rays, stomped on by monsters, flooded, frozen, flooded and frozen, attacked by ancient demons, subjected to diseases that turned many residents into zombies...you get the picture. Global destruction has been threatened - and narrowly averted - many a time as well. Chalk it up to boredom and/or appreciation for the vivid imagination of certain members of the directorial community, but audiences flock to see fictional representations of themselves menaced by all sorts of threats. Honestly, and I say this with the knowledge that I have been one of these audience members more times than I can count, it can get a little old.

When this movie came along there wasn't a whole lot like it out there in the sci fi canon. The closest thing was Ghostbusters, a classic 80s comedy that set the tone for future cinematic ventures into the realm of tongue-in-cheek sci fi/supernatural humor. MiB takes the same happy-go-lucky comedic formula one step further, imagining a world where aliens walk among us disguised as "regular" (or irregular as the case may be) people. The possibilities with this concept were/are virtually limitless, and the film does a good job exploring them while reining in any tendencies to stray too far from the plotline. It can be a tad formulaic at times but the originality and creativity that is evident outweighs the film's obvious flaws.

The sci fi genre needs Spaceballs, Ghostbusters and MiB just as much as it needs The Day The Earth Stood Still, the Star Trek movies or Independence Day. None of it should be taken too seriously, but at least with this film and its thematic kindred, you probably won't be the only person in the theater chuckling at what's happening onscreen.

men in black
came right on time, in good condition, & very well enjoyed
100% happy with service

MIB, one of my favorites
My VHS copy had tape sticking out of the cassette and one of my cats spotted it and thought it was ribbon I guess. Needless to say, she tore sections out of it. So much for repairing it. I immediately went to Amazon and bought a new one. This time, DVD. Cat proof.
