Men in Black (1997)
Let's take a look at the Men in Black movies in order, starting with the first one from 1997. Welcome to the hidden world of extraterrestrial affairs at the MIB Headquarters in New York City. In this film, we meet the unforgettable duo of Agent J, played by the always charming Will Smith, and Agent K, portrayed by the witty and reserved Tommy Lee Jones. This film sets the stage for the whole franchise, introducing us to the Neuralyzer, the Noisy Cricket, and those unforgettable Worm Guys. Sonnenfeld directed this sci-fi action comedy, which is full of practical effects and a unique '90s vibe. It's the perfect start to your marathon, with a hilariously dry tone and a hefty dose of intergalactic threats.
Men in Black II (2002)
Next, we fast forward to Men in Black II. Five years later, we're back at the alien immigration agency. Agent J is now a seasoned pro, but he misses his partner K, who is brought back from retirement. This leads to the usual MIB chaos. This sequel introduces new characters like Laura (Rosario Dawson) and a new threat to Earth, while exploring more of the MIB hierarchy. It's not the strongest in the series, but it's got more Frank the Pug, more Worm Guys, and some fun callbacks to the first film. Plus, J and K's chemistry is still awesome.
Men in Black 3 (2012)
Then comes "Men in Black 3" (2012), where things get really interesting with time travel. Agent J has to go back to the '60s to stop an intergalactic disaster, where he meets a young Agent K, played by Josh Brolin. This installment adds an unexpected emotional layer, letting you see J and K's relationship in a new light. Boris the Animal, played by Jemaine Clement, is a memorable villain, and the retro '60s vibe is fun. This film is a cool mix of the past and present, and it gives J and K's story a surprisingly human touch.
Men in Black: International (2019)
International introduces new faces and locations. It's set in the London MIB branch and stars a new duo: Agent M (Tessa Thompson) and Agent H (Chris Hemsworth). This film is a global adventure with a fresh mystery within the organization. Liam Neeson plays High T, the head of the British division, and Emma Thompson returns as Agent O, which connects to the original trilogy. Not everyone was on board, but as the finale of your marathon, it's an entertaining nod to the MIB legacy.
