Summary: Still Great, but Better
Comment: I still like this movie just like I did when it was first out, but now with it being in Blu-ray it's even better. The picture is so clear and the sound is amazing. It's crazy what they can do with movies now days.

Summary: Great movie. One of a kind. A+++
Comment: Very original movie with great special effects. Looks much better in blue ray. I love the pug dog. A lot of people own pugs due to this movie.

Summary: Brillant transfer to BluRay
Comment: Having watched this movie numerous times in the theater and on DVD, I am proud to own the BluRay copy now. I must say they did a BRILLANT job on the transfer. The color is vivid and the sound is truly top notch. Some transfers of older movies aren't that good, but they took their time with this one. The special effects are great but on some scenes you can tell that it is CGI. Minus that the transfer is great.

Summary: It's a bug-a-boo
Comment: People go through life oblivious to the reality around them. As pointed out in this movie, at one time everyone knew the world was flat; and now everyone knows we are alone in the universe. But what if we are wrong? Who will protect us? "Men in black used to be the term for the bad guys. This movie shows they are our last line of defense. This is a fun movie and there are many great actors to add to the fun.
Every one is so busy watching Tommy Lee Jones make his stoic looks and Will making one-liners that they miss the person that hold it all together. In addition, that person has to do act throughout the movie in an Edgar suit. Have you ever tried one on? Vincent D'Onofrio has to look unnatural and act natural. This was one movie where I felt sorry for the bug. He even drops his snack (Linda Fiorentino) near the end. It just shows that bugs lead a hard life.
If you are into recent bug movies, look for "Out There" where they mention bugs in a rug
Out There
------------------------------------
Now in the era of Blu-ray we can easily get the technology mixed with the story. I personally am re-watching all my old favorites as they come out in the new format. Some time it makes a difference; at other times it brings out flaws that were previous overlooked. Films made with Blu-ray in mind are exceptional in presentation. However without a good story and good acting all the Blu and the entire ray can not make a difference.
I do like the efforts to include more DVD extras.

Summary: So Funny
Comment: This is another movie I purchased on VCR form years ago. I loved it and wanted to keep it so I upgraded it to DVD and got it at a great price too.

Editorial Reviews:

This imaginative summer comedy from director Barry Sonnenfeld (Get Shorty) is a lot of fun, largely on the strength of Will Smith's engaging performance as the rookie partner of a secret agent (Tommy Lee Jones) assigned to keep tabs on Earth-dwelling extraterrestrials. There's lots of comedy to spare in this bright film, some of the funniest stuff found in the margins of the major action. (A scene with Smith's character being trounced in the distance by a huge alien while Jones questions a witness is a riot.) The inventiveness never lets up, and the cast--including Vincent D'Onofrio doing frighteningly convincing work as an alien occupying a decaying human--hold up their end splendidly. --Tom Keogh
