Men In Black: International

image source

Molly (played by Tessa Thompson) has spent most of her life searching for the Men In Black. When she finally manages to find them, she sent is sent to London on a probationary trial. From there, she helps Agent H (played by Chris Hemsworth) to save the world from an impending invasion. As usual, the creature designs are pretty good. Further props should go to the visual effects and the makeup. Tessa Thompson and Chris Hemsworth have good chemistry together. The action is pretty fun, and is decently well done. OK, plot-wise, this really doesn’t add much that’s new to the Men In Black franchise. It’s got some similar beats to the first film. Granted, it isn’t a carbon copy, and I’m thankful for that because it easily could have been. I don’t really know why F. Gary Gray directed this movie. He comes off as weird choice to me. It felt more like he was trying to emulate the style that Barry Sonnenfeld brought to the first three movies, as opposed to just bringing his own style to this fourth film. The final result is a film I can best describe as decent. I didn’t love it. I didn’t hate. It was a fun enough way to kill two hours. This isn’t the best Men In Black movie. That would still be the first film. But, it certainly isn’t the worst either. That distinction still goes to Men In Black II for me.
