Men In Black:International

The Men in Black have returned to protect the Earth against the aliens that live hidden amongst us (and the real baddies that want to invade us).  This time around Chris Hemsworth plays Agent H, a super-hot but rather laid back agent who teams up with rookie Agent M (played by Tessa Thompson).  They are tasked with a mission – to take down a hive species thing that takes them to Paris, Marrakesh and London.  Along the way, they pick up the obligatory cute wise-cracking little alien and must steal back the most powerful weapon in the universe, which seems pretty easily mislaid/taken/lost.  I found the whole thing kind of boring.  If you have seen any of the previous Men In Black movies, you have basically seen this movie.  There is the requisite mole ( I won’t tell you who, but you will figure it out anyway).  I loved seeing Liam Neeson and Emma Thompson as higher ups in the organization; but neither really had much to do with the plot or action, Thompson especially.  The special effects are top-notch and there were a few funny moments, but the story and writing fell flat.  They’ve gone to the well that one time too many.  I found myself looking at my phone several times just to see if it was almost over.  Honestly, if you are going to spend for a show and movie eats, there are better movies out there.  My suggestion is to watch the original Men in Black on Netflix.
