What a load of old toss. Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones looked bored and given the thin plot and awful script I'm not surprised. This has none of the charm of MIB I and is little more than a huge amount of computer generated effects which seems to be Hollywood's only way of making a big film these days.
The most annoying part for me was that wretched talking/singing dog. Not funny at all.
I think we have all been "had" with this movie and should all ask for our money back right now.

I'm not going to dwell on the plot or on the film - there are many other comments that have done that very well already. This is probably my favourite film (can anyone say they have an absolute favourite) because it is just so solid, tight and dynamic.
This film should really be used to demonstrate to modern day Hollywood producers and directors that it is very possible to make a film that grips the audience without the need for computer effects, pointless love story, glamorous females etc. but instead employs carefully crafted script, plot, direction and acting.
I hope they never do a remake as they are certain to:
1) Make it in colour.
2) Add some love intrigue.
3) Computer generate the steam locomotives.
4) Computer generate all the action sequences.
5) Give the lead role to someone wholly inappropriate.

This independent art house film was created on a budget so low that it is wonder that it ever came to the screen. Yet despite the lack of funding it is a masterpiece of creative film making that shows what can be done with determination and pure genius. Andrew Spencer, the writer and director, brings a film that is so full of disturbing imagery, superbly photographed, it puts many high budget films to shame. Throughout there is an undercurrent of doom and unrest which is cleverly concealed so that you are never quite able to say what it is that produces this feeling. This is the best of psycho/horror - the things you never see. Hitchcock and a few other knew this trick and so does Spencer. As a film it will only ever appeal to the discerning film goer who is prepared to put in the effort, it's not one for the casual viewer. Those making the effort will be rewarded with a visual style that is not copied from elsewhere but is new, fresh and inviting to the eye.
