Men in Black: International review thread

33% RT with 4.47/10 average score, with 29 reviews: Rotten Tomatoes41 Metacritic score with 16 reviews.Some reviews:In terms of basic execution, "Men in Black: International" is a mess, and if the film were being graded purely in terms of technique, it barely passes muster.Peter Debruge, VarietyYou can sit through it without much complaint, but you won't need neuralysing to forget the whole thing an hour or two later.Tim Robey, Daily Telegraph UKMiB: International tries to invoke the original, but fails to match its key achievements: it isn't funny or exciting.Joe Skrebels, IGN MoviesIt lacks ambition or depth, but it’s delicious and filling, proving (as if anyone still needed proof) that Tessa Thompson and Chris Hemsworth are two of the most likable movie stars in the galaxy.William Bibbiani, The WrapInternational is better than Men in Black II and worse than Men in Black III, and they’re all bad, so erase this sentence from your memory.Darren Franich, Entertainment WeeklyMen in Black: International, which launches Tessa Thompson and Chris Hemsworth into a bland variation on the same “MiB” routine, lacks the energy or ambition to make its intergalactic stakes into anything more than baffling cash grab. This misconceived attempt to inject a tired franchise with new life ends up as little more than an empty vessel.Eric Kohn, IndiewireIt’s time to wave the neuralyzer in the face of every executive involved and murmur softly: forget about this franchise.Peter Bradshaw, The GuardianMen in Black: International isn’t bad; it’s an improvement over “Men in Black II” (2002) and “Men in Black 3” (2012), sequels that even its makers may have forgotten.Michael Phillips, The Chicago TribuneUnasked for, unnecessary but unexpectedly enjoyable.James Dyer, EmpireThis sequel-slash-spinoff comes across as a lifeless piece of content, bearing a brand name and a glossy look but little else to remember it by.David Sims, The Atlantic via /r/movies http://bit.ly/31CyfTk
