Guillermo del Toro has established himself as one of the most renowned and esteemed filmmakers in the business with his unique fusion of dark fantasy, in-depth storytelling, and meticulous attention to detail. While selecting seven perfect movies in his opinion, the celebrated director chose one sci-fi movie from 1997 which he considers as the greatest one in that genre.
Written by Ed Solomon and directed by Barry Sonnenfeld, this $589m movie starred Will Smith who has never failed his audience with his performances. So much so that Guillermo del Toro also agrees with this.
Guillermo Del Toro Praises Men in Black
The Oscar-winning director has a very much positive thing to say about the Men in Black movie released in 1997. The movie created a buzz among the audience.
”The first Men in Black movie is a perfect movie,” praises del Toro. ”The way it introduces you to that secret wall and the inner workings and the inner sanctum of that secret world is perfect from every aspect of it.”

Adds Guillermo del Toro, ”Everybody in the movie was sort of in a state of grace: Rick Baker, Barry Sonnenfeld, the actors, Danny Elfman, everybody.”
The original Men in Black continues to be recognized as one of the most popular sci-fi comedies in cinema history, even though the sequels and reboot of the M.I.B. have surely done much towards hindering the brand.
Men in Black: The Unforgettable Sci-Fi Comedy Phenomenon
Men in Black stands out for its fresh take on the sci-fi genre. The movie follows the adventures of two secret agents, Agent J (played by Will Smith) and Agent K (played by Tommy Lee Jones), who work for a secret agency that keeps an eye on and regulates extraterrestrial activity on Earth. Audiences enjoyed the movie’s blend of humor, action, and creative alien designs, which helped it, become a box-office hit and spawn a franchise.

The movie’s success also lies in its imaginative world-building. The film introduces audiences to a hidden universe populated by countless alien species, all coexisting with humans in New York City.
Men in Black quickly rose to fame at the box office after releasing in the summer of 1997, earning over $589 million overall. The movie’s success went beyond the box-office, having an enduring effect on popular culture. Even years after the film’s initial release, Men in Black continues its public appeal as an excellent blend of science fiction and comedy.
