Film #25 - Enemy Of The State (1998)

Right, I'm not going to properly review this film. Partly because it doesn't deserve to be properly reviewed, partly because I want to go and watch a really good film before I go to sleep.

So then, Enemy Of The State.

Will Smith put his serious face on and tried acting again, by acting I mean he was being Will Smith again.

According to this film, politicians are corrupt and also lie. I cannot even describe how much that shocked me.

Jack Black was in it, that automatically made this film worse than it was before he appeared.

To summarise: This film is really quite bad, only not in the funny way. Just in the bad way. Please don't watch this, if you ever get tempted too watch this film tell me and I'll send you a list of 50 films you could watch instead of this film. But hey, sometimes you need to watch a bad film to help you appreciate just how good other films are.

Film #13 - Men In Black II (2002)

Pro tip ladies and gentleman, if you loved a film as a small youth and it wasn't made by Pixar or maybe Disney, please don't go back too it when you're older. The realisation of rose tinted glasses is often painful, your golden memories of the days you spent watching the same film over and over again are destroyed by your mind's local council to be replaced by a more realistic but altogether uglier view of your past. There are still things I like about this film, mainly Tommy Lee Jones as Agent Kay. He has some great comic timing and really knows how to make a scene his own. In fact, I could use this space to complain about the overall underuse of TLJ but this is no time for rants.

Will Smith overall played Will Smith Comedy Mode in this, pulling the 'Will Smith Comedic Face' about a billion times and just overall becoming quite grating by the time the credits rolled. Apart from the leading two, the performances overall were nothing special and quite forgettable which is exactly how you could also sum up this film. It has it's moments, and sit a child under the age of 10 down in front of this and they'll no doubt love it just as I did. Let's just hope that they focus it more on Tommy Lee Jones than on Will Smith when Men In Black 3 comes out this summer.
