Reasons why Men in Black Sucks


1. They risk the entire fate of the world based on a guy who can run fast and pull tables.

2. The uber-cheesy scene where K is watching his wife from a satellite somehow in slow motion and at the exact moment she looks up into space.

3. Will Smith and his stupid one liners.

4. K getting eaten by an alien cockroach and surviving without a scratch.

"1. They risk the entire fate of the world based on a guy who can run fast and pull tables."

You forgot he can also skillfully murder children that carry books at night. So say goodbye to any kid carrying books for their siblings or parents or whatnot.

It was just entertaining.

Don't be such a fussbudget.

Thank you for using the word "fussbudget".

Yes, it was stupid as hell. I enjoyed some of the humour. I would have a lot of gripes if I took it seriously.

1. He picked a maverick, but you are right it's stupid. A joke for people like Kay who have a problem with authority. Also the kind of dumb principle some job interviews would take seriously, the damn table is thinking out of the box. The weird chair with no desk setup was noticeable before the punchline of the exams.

2. Yes, that was idiotic.

3. Will Smith didn't write them - they were supposed to appeal to the average viewer who likes him and was watching the movie because of him - people who think his normie attitude is cool somehow.
