That was my impression, too. I read pretty much every single book about UFOs from my local library in the late 80s/early 90s. The MIB definitely did not strike me as a comedy duo. I remember being actually kind of surprised by the concept of the movie when I first heard about it.
One thing I love about this movie is the change of scenery. It starts in this godawful snowy winter in Detroit, and then ends up Los Angeles. It gives a sense of scope.

Reply to comment by SueSudio in After watching a few videos on the source of the real Men In Black conspiracy from which the comedy movie is based off on do you think they should reboot the movie and make it into more of a horror science fiction movie? by herewego199209
