To properly review Men In Black, one most cast their mind back to the time in which it was produced. The year is 1997. Hollywood audiences were enjoying the resurgence of the summer blockbuster and the reinvention of the disaster and science fiction flicks. The special editions of the Star Wars Trilogy put the science fiction genre back in front. Will Smith was also coming off the back of the massive hit the previous year; Independence Day. Men In Black arrived after a hugely successful ad campaign that ensured that the film would be nothing other than a massive hit. Even the films tie-in theme song of the same name, performed by Will Smith was a worldwide hit, charting at number one in Australia.
