My 2 syllable review for MIB 2: Ho-hum.
Granted, I haven't seen much of the original MIB (just bits and pieces), this film was screaming for some personality, and I'm afraid it all went to Frank, the talking dog.
There's a lot of "heart" missing in MIB 2, it just goes about its business, and never really makes you think any of the characters are in peril or even cognizant of any impending sense of danger/doom/demise.
I can't say it's really horrible, just lackluster, with the audience only laughing at Frank's dialog for the most part. Will Smith was totally sleep-walking through the film, though at least Tommy Lee Jones had an excuse for doing the same, it felt tired, hardly any fresh energy present at all in the film. The only thing I'm grateful for was Lara Flynn Boyle's initial appearance in the film.
I give it 2 stars, or a grade of C.
