From Entertainment Weekly:

Some motion pictures portray ultimate passion; others create ultimate thrills. ''Men in Black II'' achieves ultimate insignificance -- it's the sci-fi comedy spectacle as Whiffle-Ball epic. To call it a popcorn movie seems almost an insult to the salty, caloric butter rush of great popcorn. Once again, we get too-deadpan-for-the-room buddy repartee + product placement + attitude + rubbery extraterrestrial F/X + corporate hip-hop cred over the closing credits. Like the first ''Men in Black,'' only more so, what unspools here is something close to a new definition of a Hollywood movie, less a story or even an adrenaline ride than a rambunctious, self-referential fantasy bauble at once overblown and weightless -- a couple of hours (or, in this case, just 88 minutes) of Stuff to Watch.
