Men In Black: International

I was frankly having trouble writing this one up over the past few days. Weirdly enough I thought it would've been easier. Not because it's a massively terrible movie or anything but it was uninspiring. 

It also lacked the inventiveness of the original, the writing wasn't that great, and the need for political correctness in many parts of the movie seemed somewhat overbearing. 

It got me bored a few times, especially in the middle and right at the very end. If you've seen the original then you might even walk out of the movie feeling a tad bit disappointed. 

That's pretty much my summary of how I felt this was and my gut feeling was the same after watching the trailer prior to the movie. 

I went to watch this movie because of the casting. Chris Hemsworth, Tessa Thompson and Liam Neeson are great actors but their performance in the movie was just decent at best.  

The core of the issue is that it seems to be made for young teens and it comes across as such and this is partly why it fails. 

It tries to reshape itself as the first MIB and fails at that too. Neither Chris nor Tessa are able to pull off a Tommy Lee Jones and Will Smith with their roles. Fans of the original such myself were left wanting for more! 

It's a great weight to carry and unfortunately even though both their characters in the movie are likeable, they can't seem to get it right. The plot had elements that could've been improved upon to make it more engaging but never once did it make me feel excited. 

It's a lot to do with the clumsiness of the movie that tries to be some kind of spy drama with comedy that can be described as mostly goofy as best. 

My friend summed it up in one word: "Boring" as the movie ended and credits rolled up. I couldn't disagree with him. This was a needless extension of the franchise. 

I did however enjoy some of the visual effects in the movie. But there's so much more that could've been done if it had a better plot, writing, and a climax with great dialogues to go with. 

It has it's fun moments and you will appreciate those as they occur. However, the poorly made bits were hard for me to ignore. Even though i'm critical, i'm not completely dismissing this movie as it has many entertaining moments but just that the original was amazing and it's legacy need not have been tarnished by Hollywood by making this remake! 

I give it a 5/10 rating.

I felt like watching a comedy movie, which itself dint took seriously. 
It doesn't  justify the previous MIB movies. 
Most of movies these days are just money grab, movies with good plot are rare. Btw if you like mystery genre and like foreign movies then i would suggest you to watch "Svaha the sixth finger".  Its on Netflix
