Day 38 the men in white

Day 38

Careful for spoilers

Men in black is what everyone movie goer wants. they want comedy, action, romance. I argue that there is a romance in men in black but it is unaddressed because there was a more interesting story to tell. There is clearly comedy with 1990's will smith and a good amount of action.

Who ever decided to cast this movie was a genius. They created the ultimate odd couple. We have a young, black, smartalec cop in will smith and we have an older, white, by the book, agent in tommy lee jones. At first you would think they would conflict the whole time but agent K ( tommy lee jones) was open to J ( will smith). the resistance came from a natural " learning the ropes" period. 

There is always the debate of what movie put will smith on the map. most would say independence day, other Bad boys. i say it is Men in black becuz he showed that he can produce movies that children could still enjoy. The first time i saw men in black, I saw it one day before i saw men in black 2 in theaters. While it does have a handful of adult jokes such as an alien pregnancy, suicidal jumps, and "the size of the gun", children could enjoy this more than indencedace day or Bad boys. 

Just to cover the franchise im going to rank them and how the overall franchise ranks. 

MIB2  7/10

MIB    6.5/10

MIB3  6/10

MIB 2 is the by far the best because it took the elements established in MIB and expanded on them. It also gave us a villain we could understand. MIB and MIB3 the villains are hardcore 1970s sci fi aliens the ones that look creepy but have no substance. MIB unfortunately just holds up as the starter it had great moments from an origins film but there was a lack of standing out. however! it does have some of the best comedic moment of the franchise. THE " we are the best of the best of the best sir!" i still use to this day. And not we must talk about MIB3 not a bad movie but after 10 years there were just money grabbing. there was no need for a third one and tommy lee jones is barely in the thing. Which upsets me becuz it was the chemistry of young and old that made K and J work. with the time travel aspect J was the old guy and josh brolin was the young which wasnt as good. 

I do enjoy all the 3 films. as a whole the final verdict is 7/10 you ask " how is it possible to have a 7/10 when two movies were below that. ill tell you.... if some says " ive got MIB 1,2,3 i m watching them. They are enjoyable. some days they are 10s some days they are 5s but for today i say they are 7s.
