Better than the film
I really hate how difficult I find it to separate a book and the film adaptation. Whilst I didn't love the Birdbox film, i thought it was alright, however reading this book has really made me reconsider.

The book and film plots are similar, but the book seems a lot darker and creepier. The character of Malorie is different, nicer even but I dont think she is very well developed in this. This was a good book and an interesting take on the end of the world scenario, I just wish I'd read this before watching the film.

I hadn't heard of this film when my partner suggested watching it, I read about it and liked the idea but wasn't sure if I would enjoy it. I have to say I was pleasantly surprised. I enjoyed the humour which kept the film light hearted while still touching on some raw subjects. I enjoyed watching the characters develop and the relationships change throughout the film. There were some shocking moments but I enjoyed the film as a whole. The acting was outstanding from all involved, I couldn't fault it whatsoever. I'm really glad I watched thks film.

Average action film
Decided to give this a go although surprised at there being another MIB film. It's a fairly fun action film, not a serious film by any means. The scenes in London were quite good but overall the story is rather weak. It's not as funny as the original films and misses the chemistry of those films. On the other hand it's mildly entertaining for a light hearted action film. If you were a big fan of the original films you'll be disappointed though.
