MEN IN BLACK (1997) MOVIE REACTION - SUCH A FUN SCI-FI BLOCKBUSTER! - FIRST TIME WATCHING - REVIEW

Welcome to our first-time watching as we react to Men In Black (1997). This sci-fi comedy film is exactly what we were looking for, a great time!
In "Men In Black," we follow Agent J (Will Smith) and Agent K (Tommy Lee Jones) as they protect Earth from extraterrestrial threats while keeping their existence hidden from the public.
The main antagonist played by none other than Vincent D'Onofrio was one of our favorite performances. The amount of physical work he put into his Edgar the Bug made the villain memorable!
We hope that you enjoy our reactions, commentary and review as we discuss the film's hilarious moments, groundbreaking special effects, and the dynamic chemistry between Smith and Jones.

so cool you guys are watching this. I honestly hope it leads you on a Will Smith rabbit hole cuz he was at the top of his game around this time. So some great ones would be Independence Day, which is a great Alien Sci Fi apocalypse feel good popcorn action flick. The first two Bad Boys movies are a must. kind of lethal weapon vibes buddy cop flick. And then of course you have to watch Enemy Of The State. One of his more serious roles which i wont say anything about other than its one of Jack Blacks first roles, if not his first role as a background character. Then if you haven't seen it, I Am Legend i think is a great movie. there's way more he's done but these would be my top picks, especially Independance Day and Enemy of The State

Tommy Lee Jones was initially frustrated because Barry Sonnenfeld told him to play his character completely straight while Will Smith had the comedic takes and Jones wanted to take on the comedy as well. When TLJ saw the finishing cut of the film, he told Sonnenfeld he finally understood the dynamic he was going for! The contrast in personalities between TLJ and Will Smith works so well!

Will Smith's line about "just be raining Black people in New York" after he jumps onto the tour bus was ad-libbed and kept in the movie by the director. Also, the tall alien meeting with Goldberg in the restaurant was played by Carel Struycken, who played Lurch in the Addams Family movie.

[@randomchord]

Vincent D'Onofrio is probably one of the most underrated actors of our time. From Private Pyle in Full Metal Jacket to Jack Horne in The Magnificent Seven to the alien here. So many actors, even ones like Tom Hanks, Brad Pitt, DiCaprio, etc, are them playing a role. D'Onofrio is hardly recognizable in his roles once he takes on the character. Chameleon actors are so rare.

Did anyone notice that during the shooting range scene that little tiffany is the only one on an actual shooting range track that comes forward as a target. All the other aliens are background civilians in a shooting range setup.

[@RaptorNX01]

i never considered that. makes sense considering there is a line in the original script of K telling Zed that J was the only one to get it right.

[@chrisd4228]

The delivery alone for the whole bit (10:30) "I am half the man that you are" just kills me no matter how many times I see it.

[@megatron1384]

In a cut part of the movie, with Will shooting “little Tiffany”, K tells Z that he’s the only one that got it right. So J is actually correct in shooting her

[@werwolfnate]

I'd argue it's still implied, given what you learn about MIB later, not assuming hostility in non humanoids and recognizing seemingly harmless threats would be what they look for in agents.

[@ericstaples7220]

I don't believe it.

[@Br0nto5aurus]

Yeah, the other aliens needed to be apprehended and have the rules explained. Little Tiffany was clearly an alien in disguise and wasn't idenfying herself as such to the authorities, which would cause them to percieve her as a hostile.

[@Jay20112968]

I mean, the entire shooting test is self-explanatory if you think about it. who would the MiB want? guys that will immediately shoot anything that isn't human in a clear stress situation, or the calm guy that carefully assesses the situation before acting? So yea, makes sense for them to delete that scene, because it is kind of obvious.

[@JackRabbitSlim]

Yeah, but there's a reason a scene like that gets cut, it goes against the 'show, dont tell' philosophy. The audience has already been shown that Will's character thinks differently and they imply through his explanation and Zed's reaction that he was right about Tiffany, we didn't need to have it explained to us, it's better that little details like that remain open to the audience's interpretation.

[@tysonngubeni8545]

A Hall of Fame performance from Vincent D'Onofrio. Absolutely sensational work 🫡🔥

[@WhiteWolfDarkpaw]

The scene where K shoots out of the Bug, Will Smith absolutely hated being covered in the "bug guts" slime, but Tommy Lee didn't mind, so he had a private laugh by telling the crew to keep pouring more on them. Also, to help him struggle with his Edgar Suit, Vincent wore knee braces and taped his ankles. But the upper body physical acting he put out was still absolutely amazing. ESPECIALLY trying to look casual.

[@praxton]

The comic this is based on is a lot darker too. Put it this way; J and K don't carry laser guns and neuralizers. They carry .38s and quick lime. EDIT: Also, J's assessment of "Little Tiffany" is true. In the animated show that came out not long after, the same bug-like species Edgar is tried to invade with their Queen, who used a disguise that *looks* like Little Tiffany.

[@nugget3687]

A legendary performance from Vincent denofreo

[@ThatSamoanGuy]

The target practice scene and Jay's reasoning for shooting Lil' Tiffany is a parallel to the opening scene with Kay and Mikey. Kay's method of finding Mikey hiding amongst a group of immigrants is almost the exact same as Jay's attention to detail and reasoning for shooting Tiffany: Both aliens were using a disguise but didn't realize the context of their disguise made them stand out. Maybe not to regular, even well-trained people like the other military cadets Jay was with, but it did to Jay. They want his natural instincs, which is something that can't be trained. And showing the audience that Jay and Kay act differently but think the same is a great way to show (not tell) that they make a good team.

The ending is a closer philosophy and possibility of how reality works than many probably realize. Highlighting how everything is just a matter of ones perspective. Every macrocosm is just another microcosm ad infinitium. If you never seen it, look into the theory of atoms being their own universe.

Men in Black was based on a comic created at Aircel. Aricel later became Malibu Comics, and then sold off the movie rights. A few years later Marvel bought Malibu Comics to prevent DC Comics from doing the same and getting a one-up on the comic book sales market. When the movie began production, it was through Malibu. By the time it was released in theaters, Marvel owned Malibu outright. The original credit was for both Malibu and Marvel, but subsequent video releases changed it solely to show Marvel. In reality, Marvel only ever released 4 issues of Men in Black back in 1997 as a mix of reprints and movie tie-ins. Marvel pretty much abandoned all the Malibu properties around 25 years ago. The popular theory is that the original Malibu creator contracts awarded them royalties and residuals for use of the characters and Marvel did not want to compensate them. So, while they own the IP to several properties, they are likely never going to see the light of day again. This movie was written by Ed Solomon, who co-created and wrote the three Bill & Ted films and later wrote (or co-wrote) the two Now You See Me films.

Edgar with "the Bug"running into the door, grunting in annoywnce and then opening it is one of the funniest understated moments. The scene with Frank the Pug being "shaken down"will never not be funny. The way that his eyes go all wide as he is shaken kills me, as well as Tommy Lee Jones corpsing and J's weak explanations for the dog being shaken or talking. I like the conventional effects used in the movie. Originally, the Bug was going to be a puppet(you can find images of the finished one online)but it got switched out, which is probably for the best. That final cockroach alien was pretty epic in CG. The novelization goes into a bit more. Beatrice guesses first that it isn't Edgar because it was "too nice". J. got every test right. The first was knowing the right questions(he asked why they were there and the military cadet didn't even know, so he just parroted what Z said.) The written test was problem solving, with the one table being used as the writing surface being the quickest and easiest method. And J was right about all the aliens, showing he didn't judge by appearances(scary alien vs innocent little girl. There was an MIB animated series(pretty good too, since it went pretty dark)which had some fun stuff. It ignored the movies ending and had L(doctor Weaver)as a character, while K was not neuralized. Had other members of the Bug hive come(with the Queen putting a bounty on L for killing "Edgar", her favorite)and it explains Jeebs can regenerate from his whole body being destroyed, as long as he has oxygen, he can regenerate. Frank the Pug is just a green dog with antenna underneath the fur suit, lol. The bouncing device makes me laugh every time. "A practical joke by the Great Attractor, he thought it was funny as hell." Vincent D'Onofrio trying to lean in the truck is one of my favourite moments. You should watch the other two for sure!

12:06 I remember seeing the behind the scenes for this movie a while back and I fell in love with the amount of thought and lore that went into the guns. K's "Deatomizer" is an "intense microwave focuser". Not your typical ray gun. When you shoot someone with it, it gives them an intense burst of microwave radiation so they "pop" like they were stuck in a microwave for too long. Which is why Jeeb's head explodes like that. (I would not like to see what it does to Humans 😬) If you look at the scene I timestamped again, there is no bullet or energy blast either. Because radiation is invisible!

Will Smith's character is a blonde guy that had his first alien contact when he was just a 5 year-old kid, when he heard a noise, woke up, went to the backyard and saw a ufo where an alien kid waves at him before going back to the spaceship. And K is even more badass, if that's even possible. I remember he fighting an alien hand-to-hand on a gas station, kicking him in the teeth, lighting a match and blowing the all place. The comic is way more violent.

The tall, bald alien sitting with the old alien in the pierogi restaurant was portrayed by actor Carel Struycken, Lurch from the Addams Family movies in the early 1990's!!!!😉

15:39 Fun fact: in the book they mention that J was the only one to pass that test, THE ONLY ONE, no one before him had passed that test.

[@jillfromatlanta427]

The pug appears in this one and the second one (singing I Will Survive... What a hoot)...fyi

[@klipkultur3680]

To me Vincent D'Onofrio steals the show. Smith I'm done with...

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

Vincent’s performance was fantastic! The physical work he put into the character sold it 😄

[@petejones6827]

the Men In Black album was actually pretty good

[@MagicalX3000]

It's an absolute honor, meeting you both

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

Honor is ours! Nice to meet you ❤️😄

[@MagicalX3000]

I believe that you guys had a request of mine before, about Ace ventura when nature calls by Jim Carrey. Trust me, y'all, he is one very funny dude​@OfficialMediaKnights

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

Got it on our list! Can’t wait to check it out 😄

[@keenenbenton9843]

J And K not moving as the ship crashes towards him is in my top5 favorite scenes of all time I always get chills seeing it

[@danielsharp590]

If by "versatile" you mean "Danny Elfman music always sounds exactly the same and you can ALWAYS tell it's him" then yea. Versatile.

[@VDOTU5]

Awwwwww yeahhhh. When I get the time, I gotta watch this one! Major rewatch movie for me as a kid in the 2000s. I still hum the score at times. 😆

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

Haha the score is fricken awesome! Danny Elfman is a genius, this movie was so fun and has great rewatchability!

[@stace2086]

You know the only complaint I have about this reaction, is that I caught it 12 hrs have it was uploaded and now have to wait to see you reaction to MIB 2! I love this channel!! Awesome reaction!

[@liamrichardson6830]

Some trivia: In the scene where K is shaking the dog, you can see Tommy smile a bit. He almost broke character interogating to the pug.

[@c1xcx]

Fun fact: J's dialogue at 20:29 is so much better in Spanish, he basically says "Black suits me"

[@autopreneur]

Cool fact: Not only is this a comic book movie, it is also technically a Marvel Comic movie (Malibu Comics, which owns the Men In Black franchise, was bought by Marvel Comics in the 90s).

[@thefallofoscar]

Tommy Lee Jones is fluent in Spanish due to him being a native Texan :)

31:54 Not sure if the quote "There's always an Arquillian Battle Cruiser or a Corellian death ray..." is a nod to Star Wars or not (I like to think it is), but the Millenium Falcon is a ship made by the Corellian Engineering Corporation. Just a cool Easter egg if it was intentional.

[@VelociraptorsOfSkyrim]

There was a joke that cropped up sometime after the first Thor movie released, saying that Agent K was Agent Coulson's father. It was a favorite headcanon of mine, and somewhat helps explain why no one was any the wiser of Aliens existing on Earth until 2012. 😂
