Monsters, Insane fights and Black suits

Aliens, fast cars and funny moments, that pretty much describes Men in Black: International, because it doesn’t have much to go on.

The Men in Black franchise is back, but with a group of new characters. No Agent J and Agent K, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing. The new movie takes the franchise where it hasn’t gone before, Europe. It introduces us to new E.T’s and new settings.

I read all the reviews online and went into the theatre expecting the worst, but I was surprisingly entertained. The story was predictable, the CG wasn’t the best and some jokes didn’t hit the mark, but thank goodness for Tessa Thompson and Chris Hemsworth.

The two stars make the movie an unforgettable experience. Their chemistry is shines throughout the film. Director F. Gary Gray also did an awesome job the action sequences. Another standout was the little alien Pawny.

I enjoyed the movie as a Men in Black fan, but I know it could have been better. The villain had little motivation and background and the secondary villains acted as if the whole film was a dance floor, but I guess it fits into the overall Men in Black feel.

The Men in Black have expanded to cover the globe but so have the villains of the universe. To keep everyone safe, decorated Agent H and determined rookie M join forces -- an unlikely pairing that just might work. When aliens that can take the form of any human arrive on Earth, H and M embark on a globe-trotting adventure to save the agency -- and ultimately the world -- from their mischievous plans.

My Verdict

The movie is the weakest link of the franchise, but that doesn’t mean it is bad. I definitely think it has some re-watch value. The characters are certainly the best part of the whole film. So if you enjoyed the first three, then you will definitely enjoy this one too.

My Rating: 6.2 out of 10 – Good
