Men in Black II

Kay and Jay reunite to provide our best, last and only line of defense against a sinister seductress who levels the toughest challenge yet to the MIB's untarnished mission statement – protecting Earth from the scum of the universe. It's been four years since the alien-seeking agents averted an intergalactic disaster of epic proportions. Now it's a race against the clock as Jay must convince Kay – who not only has absolutely no memory of his time spent with the MIB, but is also the only living person left with the expertise to save the galaxy – to reunite with the MIB before the earth submits to ultimate destruction.

Men in Black II landed with a thud for most critics, who found it a pale retread of the original with little of its charm or surprise. The alien creature work from Rick Baker drew some admiration, but the comedy felt recycled and the sequel struggled to justify its own existence — audiences were more forgiving than critics, though not by much.
