Definitely a mixed bag but they really redeemed themselves in the third movie. And they really found the perfect new co-lead for it. He portrays the role immaculately. 😉

[@everything20205]

do MIB III too and also the continuation of Pirates of the Caribbean and please continue the other Lethal Weapons too , they're all good.

[@ronnyb5890]

you will love the third one, it equals the frst one if you're looking for character developement, this third installment has it

[@Dan_Geer_]

The line, “It came with a black dude but he kept getting pulled over”, was ad-libbed by Wil Smith on the spot. Tommy Lee wasn’t expecting it and it took all his will power not to bust out laughing. The director loved the reaction and kept the take in the film.

[@dante340]

Will also ad-libbed the "Raining black people in NY" line in the first movie lol glad he had room to inject his own charm

[@AnimalAlmighty]

yoo i never knew that LOL

[@arielrife3792]

@@AnimalAlmightythat’s what’s amazing about good ad-libbing, is you can’t even tell it’s ad-libbed by the actor/actress because it fits the character perfectly.

RIP to Biz Markie, the rapping/beat boxing alien at the Post Office.

He was just a friend..RIP

That line "it rains because you're sad baby " always gets me...😢

[@Qshafe]

For those who don't know, the ending for this film was entirely reshoot because it was supposed to take place at the Twin Towers. Due to 9/11 the studio decided to do rewrites and reshoots.

[@TenTonNuke]

I believe I heard that this is why Johnny Knoxville just kind of disappears. They couldn't use his death scene.

[@SosaBoii-t1c]

@@TenTonNukeBruh no way, I bet he fell out a window

[@ChadB1988]

Yeah, I agree MiB2 is a bit hit or miss but the chemistry between the leads is still there. Don’t let this sour you on watching MIB3, they close out the trilogy extremely well and I do think it’s the best of the trilogy

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

@@ChadB1988 we are relieved to hear that! Good to know they got back on track!

[@ChadB1988]

They did, I’ll be honest in saying I didn’t see the third film in the theaters like I did the first two and it wasn’t until years later that I watched it and after I was disappointed in myself for not seeing it sooner

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

@@ChadB1988have to agree with you! The third one was our favorite. Had a blast with it and they definitely got back on track 😃

[@weepingscorpion8739]

@@OfficialMediaKnights Oh, you already watched the 3rd one? Y'all work fast! :D

[@emosam07]

​@weepingscorpion8739 dang right!? 19h between comments is def enough time though haha

[@nerdwatch1017]

I just thought of something. They should totally make a MIB series about the adventures of rookie K to show us how he grew into such a badass agent. I totally would watch that

[@DarkKnightBatman420]

Maybe I got some good news for you. I really enjoyed the MiB animated series. Oh wait. You said K, not J. Here I was about to say it does a good job of that concept but the characters are flipped. Not even kidding man, I would really love that. It's what I'd love most from MiB, barring some new films that are good. I could take animated or live.

[@arielwilson9293]

You might like the third movie then.

[@QBITASSASSIN]

You could always watch the cartoon series.

[@nour2146]

MIB International was also a good idea but they ruined it with the whole annoying girl boss thing

"we need to find a guy who looks like he could be an alien"

[@Arashi257]

It's so funny that MJ is basically doing an agent's job, but they won't give him the position for it

[@raifthemad]

They couldn't erase his identity, even if they wanted to. Unless they faked his death and totally reworked his face to be nothing like him. Way too much work when people that they hire can just have some files deleted and that's it, because they're nobodies to begin with. When everyone in the world knows how you look and sound like, it's ridiculous to try.

[@Arashi257]

@@raifthemad Wow, I never even thought of that, You're right, no one would hire someone recognized by the world if anonymity was part of the job.

[@AnimalAlmighty]

@@raifthemadI agree.

[@BroNovaGaming]

I wonder how many people saw Michael in the theater back in 2002 and said "I KNEW IT!"

[@BETMARKonTube]

I agree with you. The second one is not as terrible as its own CGI, but is a step back from the first one. For me the third brings back the right feelings (even if I think its villain is not that interesting, or menacing, compared to the others). I'll look up for your reaction to that.

[@whatseatontim918]

The little girl in the post office scene was director Barry Sonnenfeld's daughter Chloe. She makes a second cameo appearance in MIB 3. She's easy to miss, but you should be able to recognize her when you see her in the third one. 😊

[@koldsteel1904]

The first Agent J zapped did the voice for Kronk in the Disney's Emperor's New Groove Cartoon!

[@dubiumguy]

MIB 2 is the pretty good MIB film you have to watch in order to get to excellent full of heart box of tissues at the ready MIB 3!

[@WayneQuashie-qe7xd]

The Rapping Alien was portrayed by the late, great Biz Markie!!!!!

[@collinmclane7318]

I definitely don't hate this film at all. It's not as good as the first, but it's positives still outweigh the flaws of the story. But Tommy Lee Jones is one who very seldom gets to express real and genuine emotions in his characters, and this was a perfect opportunity for him to do it more. I don't mind it being ambiguous as to whether Laura was K's daughter as I don't like being spoonfed in stories, but with what little interaction we got between him and Laura in the end, Tommy Lee Jones and Rosario Dawson had a great connection that should have been explored more earlier and could have added so much more depth to K's character. I'm really glad bringing him back at least served a point in the story and was the narrative was built around that aspect rather than just bringing him back for convenience-sake for J to have his old partner back.

[@jasonruggles4622]

Agreed but the 3rd is the best

[@RaptorNX01]

it does suffer from not-as-good-itis, but still a good movie in its own right.

[@kiranpunnoose2441]

34:30- That man in the middle is Barry Sonnenfeld, the director of the MIB trilogy.

[@collinmclane7318]

And the little girl next to him is actually Tommy Lee Jones's daughter, Victoria!

[@benmason9755]

He also had a similar cameo in his first The Addams Family movie, as a tiny man who finds himself on one of Gomez' toy trains.

[@phoenix00717]

Agree that they missed the opportunity to display the depth of the characters and K's connection to the princess. If they leaned into that, it would have made a greater movie. Also thanks for the shout-out (if it was me) it took me by surprise!

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

The shoutout was indeed for you Phoenix! Thank you for your support and your generosity. Exactly! Wished we got some more backstory instead because to us that was way more interesting than what was going on.

[@divyanshsahai]

@@OfficialMediaKnights Please make sure to watch the Men In Black 3. Please. A lot of reactors never watched it. Please make sure to put it in your schedule.

[@mattg5791]

@divyanshsahai Dude, you gotta stop harassing them, I've seen you reply the exact same thing in a couple comments. I appreciate your enthusiasm for the movie and your desire to watch the media knights react to it, but repeating the same reply ad nauseum isn't going to accomplish anything. So relax and be patient, and if they decide to react to it, all the better. If not, maybe learn a lesson.

[@warhawk_yt]

@@divyanshsahai In another comment, they confirmed that they already have watched the third movie.

Before Rocket Raccon there was Frank The Pug.

[@thehorrorcounselors4747]

20:30 I might be wrong but I’m pretty sure that man with the ponytail is non other than Rick Baker! The man responsible for some of the most iconic practical effects in cinema history including American werewolf in London!

[@CannonRaw]

You're not wrong. I think it's a fun Easter egg of this movie. Industry pros in front of the camera. If you know, you know.

[@luxleather2616]

yes this one is a bit rushed but they definitely make up for it in MIB 3

[@johnnyrock46]

I never realized that till now but now I’m seeing this reaction with the movie the script felt a little rushed.

[@slchance8839]

That Biz Markie beat boxing scene is one of the most original and memorable ones in all the science fiction movies I've ever scene. It was so unexpected and I just love it.

[@turntsnaco824]

"A filler episode of a Men in Black show" is the best summary of this film I've ever heard. This is exactly the kind of mild, semi-predictable character story with a villain B-plot you expect from one of many episodes of a show, but not what could be, like you said, the last shot you ever get at a full cinematic release. It's not that there's anything necessarily WRONG with what they did....it just really doesn't do anything to take advantage of the scale of the medium available to it. MiB3 is like the antithesis to that, though. I thought MiB2 was decent....then I saw MiB3 and realized just how far of its full potential it really fell. MiB3 feels like everything MiB2 should have been. At the end of the day I'm just glad they got the opportunity to squeeze it out, because like others have said, it's easily my favorite of the three.

[@JustGrowingUp84]

Yeah. We also get more of K's backstory, which is what Ari wanted.

[@WayneCoston-kj1go]

The man introducing the VHS at the beginning is Peter Graves - Captain Oveur in Airplane and the OG Jim Phelps in Mission: Impossible. Shame they couldn't get back Linda Fiorentino from the 1st MIB. This one feels like it's copying the 1st ones homework.

[@RaptorNX01]

dunno if they had anything to do with her. even the animated series basically sidelined her character into a support role as Agent L.

[@Moviemaniac28]

33:15 you might’ve missed that when he is going to talk to his mom he was carrying a shovel, so maybe not for the better for her

Did you recognize the guy with the glasses at the video rental. That's the same guy that got stuck to the ceiling by the bug alien in the first movie.🤣

[@zzzroxyzzz]

Didn't have the same feeling as the first but I still love it. So ready for 3, I think they did 3 perfectly.

[@purpleYamask]

Fun fact, the post office worker with the big ears (and his isolated top half) is this film's VFX director! He has a very funny story about them looking for a crew member who "looked like an alien" to fill that extra slot-

[@alexandervelez9507]

i’m probably in the minority who prefer serleena as a villain as opposed to edgar from the first. she had sass and looked fabulous. lol

[@luzbiensuave]

I kinda like her character, then I remember she made filming kinda troubling for everyone (as she did post-Twin Peaks)

[@purpledragon1945]

i like her too, youre not alone

[@yzskick]

The issue isnt her character its how short her screen time was they could have fleshed her out alot more the way they did it made her seam insignificant and un-noteworthy, whereas edgar felt overpowering and in control up to the very end.

[@whatseatontim918]

34:30 That is the director himself, Mr. Barry Sonnenfeld. He makes cameo appearances in every single movie he has ever made. 😁

[@imajinallthepurple]

I can't believe I never noticed the constant pie references in MIB II. 😂 I wonder if they were already setting up the stage for the third movie in this one.

[@Hey_Jamie]

MIIB is not as good as the first, but the third is DEFINITELY worth the watch. SO. GOOD. Glad you guys watched it…. Excited for it to be up on KZbin!

[@CasabianN-xr5sc]

Next one is quite possibly the best Men in Black movie.

[@TenTonNuke]

As with most sequels to box office hits, it's a bit too aware of its audience. It pays too much fan service. It allows itself to be so confident in its brand that it becomes slapstick with how little they try to keep it believable. The good news is that part 3 is actually a good movie. It makes a solid attempt to build on the lore instead of just going, "Hey, guys! Remember the dog? Remember the alien whose head grows back? Remember the cockroaches?"

[@belvagurr403]

Tony Shaloub is so fantastic as Jeebs, quite a change from MONK.

[@emilywilhite5807]

I also loved him in Galaxy Quest.

[@CannonRaw]

If you want another law enforcement comedy. See if you can find Dragnet with Dan Aykroyd and Tom Hanks.

[@BlackGirlMarvel]

I must be the only person on the planet that loved this film. Its essentially a film about loss and gaining new perspective. It was a touch sillier than the first but that didn't bother me. All the characters were fun and it gives background to Kay as Laura, at least to me, is his daughter and he had to give her up for the better of her people, same as Jay who states he feels alone at the start of the film as he was opening up to her and feeling his feels.

[@PatrickPrejusa]

MIB 3 MAKES EVERYTHING MAKE SENSE.

[@LordBaktor]

They tried to cash in too much on the jokes and silliness instead of having a good story to tell. Good thing the third one has more heart at the core.

[@LordBaktor]

@@kdot8340 Well, they do tell better stories in the first and third movies in my opinion, so there is proof that even these same filmmakers are capable of doing better.

[@bidwell13]

16:29 I think the photo is the same they used in the tabloids at the end of the first movie. He’s got the same head tilt and smile.

[@aka_Slinky]

When I watched the MIB films, I never really applied that cinematography/screenwriting lens to it, so the specific strengths and weaknesses of each film did elude me. But your analysis of the differences between the first and second films do resonate with me. For what it's worth, the third film doubles down on the character building focus (like this film) rather than a world building focus (like the first), but they do so with much greater cohesion of story and memorable impact, at least IMO. Greatly looking forward to your reaction of the third film!

[@markjackson-nv8ic]

I never thought I would be watching someone watching movies when i could just watch them myself 🤣 but the content is awesum, your chemistry is spot on and yeah keep it up ❤ oh and give No one lives with luke evans a go 😊😊

[@tylerdurden6917]

U guys will love the 3rd one I feel like it redeemed itself

[@jamesplunkett8912]

Rosario Dawson is the actress who played Ahsoka Tano in the show Ahsoka 👏. I don't remember her much in Man in Black 2 because I thought the 3rd movie was better andvit was my number one favorite of the Trilogy since my parents loved number 3 as me.

[@usernamenotavailablee]

2 is definitely the weakest of the trilogy. But OH BOY I CANNOT WAIT till you guys get to 3. It's just mwah absolute chefs kiss 🤌🏻🤌🏻

[@ChrisMovieMisfit]

Men In Black 3 is my second favorite behind the first one. Men In Black 2 is fun but it does feel very much like a middle piece. There's also a fourth with Chris Hemsworth called Men In Black: International. Its different from the rest but I enjoyed it. A lot of people didn't but I am curious how you guys would feel on that one in particular.

[@lordcrispen]

Keeping the reaction fun while keeping the "meh" until the end (but leading with it) is pretty solid. Good job you two!

[@QBITASSASSIN]

Definitely need to finish the saga third one. It really good.

[@Xenotric]

my issue is that its basically the first film again, alien crashes, searching for item, love interest has it, misc action to showdown but j getting introduced to mib was way more compelling than k getting his memory back because we were also getting introduced while k getting his memory back is him telling us things while we dont really get to learn anything new and we dont really get the emotional moments because we really arent attached to elara.

Love both of you, great reactions

Yes. Also, "International"doesn't exist.

[@Reality-Flash]

I don't know about everybody else but I think the third one is my favorite MIB 3

[@merchillio]

The first one is an impeccable set up for the MIB universe, the second one builds very well on J and K’s relationship. The 3rd one is by far my favourite

[@NathanMalnaa]

12:20 audience loved Frank the pug from the first one so much they gave him a bigger part in this one. They actually used the same dog from the first movie and they had to use make up to hide his grey fur cuz it was 6 years later lol 13:04 my dog actually did that once. Rolled his head on the car window by himself lol 17:05 Will would beatbox in between takes and the director heard him and wanted to put it in the movie lol the guy he's beatboxing with is making all those sounds himself which doesn't make sense with the way his mouth moves lol

[@Tommieboy2009]

it's funny that Peter Graves made the intro. Her was the team leader in the Mission Impossible TV Show..a secret service show. :-)

I think that every movie including International were fantastic entries in the series that each played heavily to what was popular at time of release

[@zacharyhobson4043]

I read some years ago it was originally another script and they uad filmed somewhere around 20% of it just before 9/11. One of the major surprises was supposed to be that the towers were actually spaceships but given what had happened they scrapped the whole thing and rewrote it. I think it happened to a couple of other films from that era too.
