Review Time: this film is excellent
Fundamental elements: there are
voice-over elements, cultural elements, background music, yes and no to
subtitles being used when another language is being used, time jumps and place
jumps.
The movement
of this project; well I may as well just come out and say it; this in itself is
straightforward, I am not criticizing this in the slightest, but it is one of
those occasions where I may as well just come out and say it as it is; the
movement and the other fundamental elements are happy doing their thing.
Origin storylines/Back stories/Storyline: we have two origin storylines in this project, one of our main
characters/performers and the other is of a supporting character/performer, the
back stories can be easily erased from anyone's memories thanks to the
Neuralyzer and replaced with better back stories.
The
storyline; generally speaking has our main partnership, then we have our
evildoer in his narrative and then we have the supporting character/performer
either on her own with other characters/performers in one way or another or
crossing over into one or the trio of our main characters/performers. Yes all
four of these characters/performers merge later on in the same storyline.
You see this
is why I said earlier on in this review that the movement was straightforward,
because this project goes to and from different narratives to keep up to date
with what this character/performer or what these characters/performers are
doing and yes obviously some time there are short-term crossovers or as I have
already said a merge later on.
If there are
any future filmmakers out there; take a look at this film from its mixture of
movement and storyline. Because there is a lot happening in this project, but
because of the way it has been designed; you can fit in two origin storylines
[yes the second origin storyline is short and done in scenes based around this
pathologist, back stories [be it in the dialogue exchanges or photographs or
monitoring or newspapers,] a main storyline in an all round sense is good with
a good ending with the potential of making a sequel [yes just for the record I
know there are two sequels and one reboot, if you want me to get technical
there is one glorious animated TV program as well, I should just point out if
anyone goes searching for this animated TV program; it is great I haven't seen
it for many moons but there is one thing I can easily remember about it and it
is this; it is done in a dark tone.]
But I was
specifically talking about from this perspective it would be incredibly easy to
build a sequel on to the end of this project as things are right here and right
now.
Action sequences/Comedy level/Artistic visions: the action sequences are weapons being used, combat and chasing. The
comedy level can be either seen/heard as a separate element or linked into other
elements of this project such as this mention of Captain America or this
logical/creative back story on this girl that gets shot in the head or the
coffee scene with these worms and moving on to the artistic visions as it
relates to the science-fiction side of things they still look good and at the
end of the film it just reminds us that we are just this small in the gigantic
picture of things.
Character developments/Performances/
Voice performances: the character
developments are well-designed from this perspective one of our main
characters/performers [Agent J./ Jay/Smith] is new into this much bigger world,
so it is his job to ask or make the mistakes the viewers would make if they
were in this position as well, basically he brings something different to the
table than the other Agents around him, whilst on the other hand his partner
[Agent K./Kay/Lee Jones] is highly experienced and calm, so you have this
chemistry/friction of the streets meets outer space and beyond
chemistry/friction and I can really appreciate these character developments
right at the end of the film [I just can't talk about them now, because that
would be giving too much of the film away and if you have been following
me/reading my blogs long enough you know that is something I really don't like
to do unless I have to point out something basically using my discretion, I
will bring them up more than once in the sequel/sequel review of Men in Black
II 2002, but for now I can still acknowledge that they are an excellent touch
nonetheless.] Now all of the performances/voice performances are good, there is
good chemistry/friction [depending where you are; is depending what you get.]
But the chemistry between Smith and Lee Jones is excellent, as I have already
pointed out in the character developments these two characters/performers come
from two different worlds, but they do click as a partnership straightaway at
the beginning of this film, even before they become partners so when I say at
the beginning of the film I mean when they first meet [regardless of how many
times the Neuralyzer gets used on James Darrell Edwards III a.k.a. Agent
J./Jay]
This film receives: 8/10, as I have
already said this film is excellent; but not only that but as this film was
released in 1997 it is still the best instalment from this live-action
franchise, there is only one way I could finish this review and it is by saying
"Oh look there are women in M. I. B. here there was no need to make a
mountain out of a molehill in the 2019 reboot was there? That is all I am
saying."
Just to
cover my back; I am not speaking as someone said once a white dude, but as a
white dude in a wheelchair with a mental health illness as well and I hasten to
add this was a rhetorical question/comment in the previous paragraph.
