Men in Black [Blu-ray] [1997] [Region Free]

Usual 2 stars excellent

With it's sublime blend of sci-fi action and comedy, Men In Black is a winning mix, whether you like this sort of thing or not. It really does have something for everyone.If you don't like action there's plenty of comedy. If you don't like sci-fi, there's plenty of action. And there's even a broad range of comedy to suit everybody's humour.Tommy Lee Jones and Will Smith couldn't be better suited to each other. With Smith's over the top enthusiasm, coupled with Jones dry wit, this is one of the best cinematic pairings ever on screen. They play off each other, complement each other, and are the best thing in a fantastic movie.For the first time you watch Men In Black, the storyline is actually quite gripping, as the two intergalactic secret agents try and solve a crime before the end of the world. It does keep you guessing, and intrigued. Of course, by the 100th time you watch this film - and it really is that good that you will watch it a lot - the storyline will be known inside out, but you will keep watching because of the sharp banter between the two leads.The special effects even hold up well today, particularly Mikey, the first alien character you meet. A nice blend of Rick Baker puppetry, to neat ILM CGI.An impressive cast, a well paced film which will leave you breathless with its action, while trying to laugh at its jokes at the same time, Men In Black is a serious modern classic.Ufortunately the same can't be said of the DVD extras. (If you are a DVD extras kinda person, then maybe this film should only get 4 stars, but I only judge a DVD from the film. Extras, whether they are good or not, don't change a poor film.) Because Men In Black was one of the first DVDs to come out, the extras were quite groundbreaking, but we've been spoiled recently, and so they have paled in comparison.They tend to focus on the technical side of things - make up, effects, storyboards - and can get a bit boring. But there's a semi-decent effort with a retrospective look at the film, and Will Smith's excellent video to his Men In Black theme song.

love this film

It's wicked

This is a great film all the way through.

Great family movie, also I found it very funny. I have watched it multiple times and still enjoy it. If you like this they have made 2 others

I have 100+ Mbps broadband service, hardwired into my 4K Tv. Sometimes the film was 4K but a lot of it was out of voice sink and the quality was very poor

I watched this with my 10th at old son, we saw Men in Black 3 advertised and decided we will watch them all. Still a great watch and funny for all ages.

Jetzt ist die Sammlung vollständig :)

This a funny, unique sci-fi action comedy. Will Smith and Tommy Lee are excellent, with wise-cracking, sparkling dialogue, and deadpan delivery during the most startling scenes! The dvd includes an interesting audio commentary, and choice of Full- or Wide- screen viewing.A word of caution - a nifty feature of the old VHS was the music video of Will Smith performing 'Men in Black', after the closing credits. It is not included in this package. You may need the Blu-ray, or a deluxe edition with a second DVD.

J'avais vu ce film au ciné et ça avait été un coup de coeur et je l'ai revu bien des fois depuis! Et pourtant, j'ai souvent du mal avec les extra terrestres...Le duo d'acteurs est parfait, l'histoire est originale, on rigole beaucoup, tout tient la route à tous les niveaux et le film passe à travers les années sans prendre une ride!C'est un des ces films qu'on se doit d'avoir vu!

Los animales y los personajes

Juste un film ni meilleur, ni pire qu'un autre, juste un bon film à voir!
