Men In Black: International (2019) offers self-neuralyzing entertainment
For a franchise which has often been plagued with a sense of déjà vu (indeed its first sequel was an almost note for note remake of the first film and its second was themed around the redoing historic events), the most disappointing aspect of “Men In Black: International” is how familiar it all feels, despite the so-hot-right-now re-pairing of Tessa Thompson and Chris Hemsworth...

I was expecting so much from this film, but wow, it was eye-roll inducing. I love strange, off-kilter indies, and social satires, but this did not work for me at all. It was trying too hard.
Between seeing Tessa Thompson in this, and Annihilation earlier this year, I've come to the conclusion that Thompson can't really act (sorry, just my opinion).
Also, how much did they pay Armie Hammer? Or did they not? Did he do it for free to build more indie cred so he can get an Oscar eventually?The only reason I'm rating it a 3 is because I think that Lakeith Stanfield can act, and he was by far, the best out of the lot of them.
I'm so glad I didn't pay for the ticket myself.

Weighed, Measured and Found Wanting
Men In Black International is a 2019 sci-fi action/comedy directed by F. Gary Gray and written by Art Marcum and Matt Holloway. It is based on the Malibu/Marvel comic book series by Lowell Cunningham. The film was produced by Amblin Entertainment, Columbia Pictures, Image Nation, Tencent Pictures and MacDonald/Parkes Productions and distributed by Sony Pictures Releasing. The movie stars Chris Hemsworth, Tessa Thompson, Rebecca Ferguson, Kumail Nanjiani, Emma Thompson, and Liam Neeson.
Molly Wright (Tessa Thompson) witnesses her parents being neuralized by agents of Men in Black in Brooklyn 1996. Avoiding neuralization as her parents assumed that she was asleep, she helps an alien escape. Twenty-three years later, she manages to track Men in Black agents back to MiB headquarters in New York. Molly makes an impression on Agent O (Emma Thompson), despite being caught entering the building. She is assigned to the London branch on a probationary agent status as "Agent M".
This movie was very predictable. There really wasn't one part of the movie that surprised me plot wise. From the twists and turns that they try and throw at you to the big reveal at the end. A lot of critics said this movie was very forgettable with lackluster action and they are not wrong. However, the movie was quite enjoyable for myself and others. The chemistry between Thompson and Hemsworth was awesome and particularly the voice acting for Kumail Nanjiani's character. His character Pawney, stole the show and really made the movie good. He was the comic relief and center of any scene he was in. The special effects were great and they even threw in a couple of new aliens as they often do with the sequels of this series. The movie also didn't have near the emotional impact of the sequels. It was a decent movie but not as funny, surprising, or stupendous as the first film in the franchise. I give it a 7/10,

Fourth entry in the Men in Black series, reuniting Thor: Ragnoraknstars Tessa Thompson and Chris Hemsworth as agents of the MiB organisation.
And, unfortunately - and despite their best efforts - neither actors are able to bring the same sense of fun and camaraderie as in that earlier Thor film, or even as Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones did in the original Men in Black films.
Mainly set in Europe instead of in the United States (hence the 'International' in the title), the plot of this is straightforward enough, with Tess's character of Agent M mostly performing the same role as Will Smiths Agent J did originally.

Best of all, the soundtrack

Thor number 1, great film. Thor The dark world, not everyones cup of tea (i liked it), Thor Ragnarok, this has everything the others missed and more.
Comedy, action, fight scenes, soundtrack, Cameos it had it all. Its highly recommended even if most of the film he is without Mjölnir( not a spoiler if you watch the trailers) Plus some of the fight scences are behond epic. Still not the best Marvel based film but up there thats for sure mainly because it had Loki, Dr Strange and the fire demon Surtur.

This turned out to be pretty much what I expected: the weakest movie in the series.
This may be an unpopular opinion, but I'm not the biggest fan of Tessa Thompson to begin with. She's very bland, and this movie did nothing to change my opinion. I guess it was nice to look at Chris Hemsworth for a couple of hours, and there were a couple of moments that gave me a chuckle, but I found myself wistfully flashing back to that first MIB movie and wishing Hollywood would stop ruining things.
I mean, it was ok. By no means a bad movie, and at the very least it was mildly entertaining....but meh.
