MIX UP REVIEWS:


Jan (Age 12): ★★★

"Cool film, I enjoyed it. To be honest when I read what the film was about, I thought it was comedic version of Ghostbusters, it kinda was. Will Smith is one of the best actors I have seen, alongside Jackie Chan, Jim Carry, and Rowan Atkinson. The storyline was great but kinda creepy...

If you like it when a dead man's ear falls off, and his face reveals a tiny monster (alien) the size of a palm of an adults' hand, then this movie is perfect for you! K and Z were boring characters, but J was really good. The alien in the skin of Edgar was scary, it gave me the creeps when it revealed it's true body.

Overall, this film was mediocre and I hope to see better in 'Men In Black II'.."

  10. Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2014 TV) - n/a


There's a few aliens within the sci-fi Marvel extravaganza, and a very cool lead in Spider-Man: Into the Spider- Verse. In Kingsman our hero is taken into a secret organisation and there's more Men in Black in the rest of the series. More aliens and transforming cars to be found in Transformers: Robots in Disguise.
