Hey everyone! Here's Men In Black 2!!! I enjoyed watching MIB 2 and although the story and comedy may not be as strong as the first, it was still a fun cute movie to watch. I liked that it surrounded Agent J and how he's been since Agent K "retired" and how really no Agent has lived up to his partners expectations. It was a bit sad to see and the ending really didn't help BUT the movie had it's moments. It wasn't nearly as good as the first one in my opinion but I still really like the MIB universe so it was a good watch. I hope you all enjoy :)

Men In Black 2 Reaction | First Time Watching!
#MenInBlack2 #reaction #vkunia
So if you ever wondered why Johnny Knoxville‘s character just disappears from the movie and has no wrapup, it’s because in the original ending Agent J and Agent K battled aliens atop the World Trade Center, where Knoxville‘s character and a bunch of other aliens we’re trying to escape the planet… but then 9/11 happened and they had to re-film the ending and they just couldn’t find a place for him, which is sad for multiple reasons.
I did not know this. Huh.
@@JasonON It happened more than you think. They had to redo the Lilo and Stitch ending for the same reason. Instead of the spaceships weaving through mountains, Lilo and the gang hijacked a 747 to chase after Gantu. They even flew through a commercial district as well.
They had to restructure the plane to look like a spaceship.
@@StopReadingMyNameOrElse Then there was the scene in one of the Spiderman movies where Spiderman was chilling in a web spun between the Twin Towers...
Have any of you seen the videos of modern college students being unable to answer even the simplest questions about what happened on 9/11?
They had to do the same thing with Spider-Man2
This is definitely one of those cases where the sum of it's parts is greater than the whole. As a movie overall it fails to catch the same glow that the first one had, but on the scene to scene basis it's still a somehow enjoyable ride.
Really good way of putting it
Agreed.
Lots of good stuff in the movie but at the same time, it's kind of dead on the inside.
Three makes up for it wonderfully (TEN years later!), but by then the damage had already been done to the franchise.
@@chriskelly3481 Dont agree with that
But it can't stand on its own legs because of the many many callbacks to the first movie
Fun fact. The guy who goes down on the ground in the post office is in charge of the visual effects in this movie... And many other big movies, cool guy.
The director was looking around set for a strange looking guy to be an alien and saw him and told him to go to costumes dept to get ready.
Biz And Will turning beatboxing into an alien language was 🔥
will smith and the alien at the post office were beatboxing ( which is what rappers on the east coast mainly new york would do in the 80's) biz markie who played the beatboxing alien was a hip hop legend and his 1989 hit "just a friend" is 1 of the greatest 100 hip hop tracks ever
Barry Sonnenfeld, the director, went though a lot of issues with the studio and producers on this movie over changes they demanded, and had a heart attack on set. He said that when he was carried away in an ambulance he was thinking to himself something like "It would be terrible to die right now, but at least it would be great to not have to deal with this movie anymore."
I love how the men in black movies always have some mind-breaking reveal at the end
Definitely watch 3, it was better than this one and close to the first one.
I love the humor in this one. Frank, the locker people, the subway alien, K in the post office. But the best one is MIBIII the story is amazing.
"Groovy; that's so 2002"
uhh.. it's closer to 1968... lol
😂😂😂 Austin Powers’ still got it in 2002
Newton, the guy who owns the video store, is same guy who got attacked by the Bug alien at the morgue.
I like all 3 movies but Men in Black 3 is my favorite. It hits all the feels.
the end got me
Ahhh yes MIB2, me personally I loved this one equally as the first. Love your videos V🙏🏽
I don't see how that's possible, the comedy in this is so unfunny.
@@SebTheGreat84 go join the other horde of people falsely claiming 3 is the best
@@DiggitySlice I’ll join the horde that says 1 is the best
"I never worked in a funeral home" - classic Jones straight faced delivery.
MIB 2 had issues, but MIB 3 is PHENOMENAL.
Agree
Absolutely agree! I just really hope she doesn't wait long to finish off the trilogy. That Chris Hemsworth mib should not be mentioned lol
@@Jomanji1 Lol. True.
@@Jomanji1 Yeah, I hear ya about the Chris Hemsworth one.
THANK you! I was surprised how much I enjoyed 3, and NO ONE would believe me that it was good!
You will love the third one.
It’s definitely worth a watch.
Whatever the second MIB lacks, it gets made up for in the 3rd installment, which is really great and feels totally at home with the first one. You should definitely check it out.
That girl you thought you recognize from the video store you probably thought was Natalie Portman. It's actually Colombe Jacobsen-Derstine. She plays Julie "The Cat" in D2 the Mighty Ducks
22:04 Colombe Jacobsen, she was Julie "The Cat" Gaffney in The Mighty Ducks 2 and 3. She is now a chef and was on the 2007 season of The Next Food Network Star
I was soooo upset they separated K with his wife. He got a happy end in the last movie and it would be funny and interesting to see him juggle returning to MIB and marriage. Or maybe a drama of having to leave her again. But NOOOOO, Hollywood does not do functional marriages.
I was upset that the whole trilogy makes K some kind of horndog.
In MiB, he had his wife; in 2, he had Princess Laurana; and in 3, he's all flirty with Agent O.
Like...seriously?
Groovy! "That's so 2002"... everyone in 2002. Groovy! "That's so 1972! 😂
I think the 3rd MIB is also worth Reacting to 👍🏽
My favorite out of all the MIB's
Yeah, MiB3 is really good.
Lol there IS in fact an MIB ride/experience at Universal Studios, or at least there used to be. Idk if it's still open, but the queue line goes through MIB headquarters and everything and waiting in line is an experience in and of itself. The ride consists of going through a training simulator in a car with five other people while you shoot aliens in a few different environments. It's cool as hell. Last time I did it was like almost 20 years ago now when I was around 13 or 14. The ride had literally just opened at Universal Orlando like a week or two earlier.
It is indeed still in operation, I went to Universal in April! It is a fun time!
I’ve only been abroad twice in my whole life and I remember that! We went there from the UK in the year 2000, one of the best times in my whole life. I remember because everyone had a gun there were so many lasers everywhere and I didn’t know which one was mine or where I was aiming lol
Rosario Dawson also plays Ahsoka Tano in The Mandalorian and the Book of Boba Fett.
I keep seeing Ahsoka Tano pop into my nostalgia movies. 😂
MIB is like Pirates of the Caribbean for me: the "worst one" is still good. MIB 3 is fantastic though.
MIB 1 is amazing, it really got people into the Alien spirit and made a convincing argument of alien existence and how NYC is the best place for aliens to integrate among the human population. MIB 2 made weird choices to backtrack Jay's character progression as soon a Kay showed up and instead of showing even crazier mind-effing revelations, they just went back to weird aliens secretly inhabiting NYC and a pretty mediocre planetary annihilation threat, which is a typical Tuesday in MIB land, the weird aliens hidden in NYC are still interesting, but not new anymore. Especially when X-Men also came out in-between these movies.
MIB 3 steps it up and makes up for MIB2
MIB: The Series was actually pretty good for a 90's tv spin-off, between MIB 1 and 2, that basically continued the MIB alien encounters with Jay and Kay as if Kay never left.
I can't wait to see your reaction to the third movie! I love that one so much, it has the charm you felt was missing from this one. I think you'll enjoy it more than the 2nd
I prefer the third one, it was the most emotional one for me and a perfect wrap up
21:19 "I don't _like_ that. I _hate_ that."
I get the impression you said that a _lot,_ during this movie.
4:38 No, she regurgitated him.
29:00 the alternate version of the ending has J sent on a vacation, winding up on the planet from the train locker, but cos he travelled there “manually” he was the same size as the aliens, turned to see Knsmiling down and closing the door
Intro guy with grey hair..
Pilot in "Airplane!".
As a Philly resident I loved the bit you did about “Jawn”
It's most certainly in the top 3 of MIB movies.
Please don't wait 6 months to watch the 3rd MIB movie, it's the best one by far 🙂
Disagree
Hot dogs flying through the air and your first thought is to open your mouth. I can relate.
when you're thinking about watching a movie don't listen to other people or look up reviews. other people's taste, likes, and dislikes don't define you as an individual on your own taste, likes, and dislikes. if I'd listen to every person that said "that movie sucked" I wouldn't have ever seen so many awesome movies.
Yeah this is a decent movie. I like it. Is it one of my top 10 movies? No. but I'll watch it. Anytime.
Loved seeing you react to it and looking forward to more of your insights/reaction. 😘
Barry Sonnenfeld, the director, does a cameo in this movie. He is the father sitting on the couch when the Men in Black go to the apartment to get weapons. When Barry saw himself he asked the computer guys to fill in the bald top of his head with hair. They refused, saying it would cost $10,000 more. The studio refused to pay. MIB 3 is great and the ending has a phenomenal twist. J & K go back farther than you ever imagined!
I’m soooo looking forward to you watching MIB 3. One of the best movies ever. All the sci fi fun of the first two but a story and characters that will melt your heart.
VKunia is Phoebe from Magic School Bus. "At my old school, they said jawn!" "At my old school, they had the MTA!" "At my old school I knew people who ate at Per Se!"
Anybody kept count of how many times she said "No! I don't like that!" in this reaction? 😅
I knew, but I think someone neuralized me.
If it was a drinking game, we would all need our stomachs pumped.
MIB 3 was awesomeness with the best baddie
Ngl i never recognized knoxville in this movie. So used to seeing him dressed up
Wow, I absolutely don't remember anything about this movie except the opening sequence where the alien becomes the supermodel. I keep thinking MIB 3 is MIB 2.
What I think is remarkable about this movie is that the little locker aliens came up with a set of religious tenets that is at least as good as (if not better than) any real religion and it came from a VHS rental card. Really puts things into perspective.
The princess was played by Rosario Dawson. Ahsoka Tanno.
"We are who we are, even if we sometimes forget it" my favorite line
8:15 "Wait, she looks very familiar."
Yes. That's Ahsoka Tano from the Mandalorian.
Awesome reaction video. If you loved this Men in Black and Men in Black 2, you'd loved Men in Black 3, maybe Men in Black International and the 90s Men in Black cartoon. Men in Black 2, Men in Black 3, and Men in Black International are the only ones I saw in Theaters.
First of all- I just found your channel and have been binging your videos, I love your reactions so far and I can't wait for you to check out more Movies/Shows in the future! Also a lot of people don't really like this movie but to be honest I think it might be my favorite I don't know what it is I just enjoyed it a lot (plus it does help that Frank was in it more and I love Frank, same with the little worm guys- sorry forgot what they were called) but yes this movie was great and very funny, also can't wait for you to check out the third one let me just say if you get sad easily definitely bring some tissues just in case!
The girl who works at the video store is Julie "The Cat" Gaffney from Mighty Ducks 2 and 3
Mars Attacks. Another star studded cast.
26:03 pitch meetings guy: actually it's going to be super easy, barely an inconvenience!
The pawn shop owner is Tony Shaloub who played the defective detective Monk.
3rd one is my favorite.
Please watch the third one. No need to watch the fourth movie tho
The guy narrating the opening, Peter Graves, is the pilot from Airplane! "Do you like movies about Gladiators?"
Mood lighting? Glamasaurus wrecked out. Is it Prom night?
if you watch closely in the HQ scene as all the weird species walk past, the couple in shiny black jumpsuits on fingers and toes are from Tool's Schism music video.
8:17 - I know, she looks JUST LIKE ROSARIO DAWSON!
25:00 I had that game but was never able to finish it. I remember him though, he had a name like Krew or something
Mib 2 original plot ending have a battle/persecution flying between twin towers, but u know? after 9-11, so that explains in part the lack of spectacularity, this movie is from 2003
I remember being in the theater watching MIB2 and I have to say that I had a great time laughing at the jokes, cheering when Michael Jackson showed up for that cameo, and overall having a fun ride with my whole family. However, you pretty much summed up a lot of what we felt about this movie afterwards. Great reaction over all! Looking back, I think what the problem was it feels more like a parody of the original then a sequel (a darn good parody but a parody none the less). MIB2 had its faults, but I feel it was the funniest of the first three films and there was nothing inherently bad about the movie other than maybe overriding Jay and Kay's character development from the original and that Serleena, the main villain, loses her presence as a villain towards the end. She's a threat and a good one but the movie doesn't convey the same menace that the bug had in the original. I do find myself rewatching the movie every now and then and though it's not a hidden masterpiece for me, it's still an enjoyable movie. For me, none of the MIB sequels perfectly captured the all around feeling of the first MIB, though MIB3 was a massive return to form and if not as perfect as the original, it's still an extremely close second. I do hope you'll give MIB3 a watch as it's a good send off to Agents Jay and Kay.
22:03 Fun Fact! In case you've seen the Mighty Ducks movies, she plays Julie (The Cat) Gafney. I think thats her last name. She's the other goalie besides Goldberg lol
Nice reactions to Men in Black 2, Vicky!!!🎬👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽I agree, the plot could have been better with this film, but I did enjoy the performances in this one. I think they did their best with what they were given. Bringing back Tommy Lee Jones was also a big plus for the film.
1. is great, 2. is realy bad, but suprisingly the 3. is realy good to and very touching in the end. you have to watch MIB 3 please. im sure you will like it! ❤
MiB 3 I think was pretty good. Didn't watch the movie after that one.
MIB 3 was pretty much the last semi decent movie that Will Smith did
MIB 2 was great in my opinion. You should check out Planes, Trains and Automobiles sometime.
3:27--"It's so tiny."
Me: I can't help it. I was born this way!
She's Claire, in Daredevil
Rule number one when starting to watch a new movie (for you): never read reviews, always listen to people
MIB 2 is a perfectly fine movie.. its just not as good as the other 2, and well bellow the first... the 3rd is an excellent book end and equal in quality to the 1st, and in some ways even better in my own opinion.
My biggest issue with MIB 2, is the fact that if I let my hair grow, and have 3 or more bad nights sleep... I look like the spitting image of Jarra (the ozone stealing alien), im not kidding. Not easy watching something that reminds one of that.
1:37 - "Dramatic reenactment" 🤣
Apparently, the woman from the video store is now a famous TV chef
"GROOVY" that's SO Ash from the Evil Dead!
When do you will see MIB3? It's the best of trilogy
I thought this movie was solid, not as good as the first, but a decent sequel and it has a good amount of scenes I'll re-watch for the laughs when it's on streaming(the love angle, not so much). Now part 3, I thought was terrible, but looking at some of the comments here, I may be in the minority on that one, as several seem to have liked it. Different strokes for different folks I guess.
I think the third one is different from the first two movies. I did not like it as much either though I do not think it was terrible either.
MIB 1 and 3 are good. MIB 2 I tend to forget exists.
I liked it. As you say, not as fun as the original, but some of the B plot devices (J zapping everyone in sight) were enjoyable.
#3 may change your mind.
8:15. “She looks very familiar” - well, that’s Ahsoka :-)
I love the 3rd MIB
“Joey, do you like movies about gladiators.?”
“And I be like nah” Idk why this is so funny to me 😂
When you're playing mass effect: 1:47
Hope you'll do the third one too.
Lol that WAS a universal studios ride. I went on it when I was a kid
22:05 That's the actress that plays Julie from the Mighty Ducks... correct me if I'm wrong though.
Who else wants to see VKunia do a video for the 1932 classic, "Freaks"?
Oh hey, David Cross! I forgot he was in this. I put him in a headlock and dragged him offstage at a club in Boston once (it was part of a bit) a loooong time ago.
The people saying its the worst are absolutely on the money. Its still fun but its not a patch on the original. And the third movie is way waaaaaaay better. Its still fun though. Has a very 'Temple of Doom' kind of feel in terms of how ot compares to the rest of the trilogy...
Will you do the 3rd? That one is really good
My favorite is MIB3 because of Josh Brolin
The 3rd one was the last semi decent movie Will Smith did
This one is different, I quite like it, but it is not the same as the first one. I think the third one is quite similar, maybe bit more polished but it is not the first one either:) Still worth watching.
While I feel this isn't as special as the first one I do enjoy it a lot like K's dead pan humor is great and getting some back story on him I liked it was fun seeing Will smith as always be funny
The waiter you know her because she is Rosario Dawson, who plays Ahsoka Tano in The Mandalorian and The Book of Boba Fett.
Part of the problem was that this was yet another film slated for a summer 2002 release that had to quickly change up some things because of 9/11
J and Ks dynamic make the movie. of course it's not as good as the first but that's ok because it's still a fun watch. never expect sequels to be better than the original especially if the original is a classic
Be sure you film a reaction to Men in Black 3
Men in Black 3 was the last semi decent movie that Will Smith did
