Men in Black : International

Un pur film-détente qui signe un retour aux sources assez dignes. Évidemment, de nos jours, que les hommes en noir ne laissent pas de place aux femmes serait politiquement incorrect ; mais peu importe, Tessa Thompson est sympa sur toute la ligne. Quant à mon cher Liam Neeson, il ne me déçoit décidémment jamais. Un film parfait pour un dimanche après-midi morne et pluvieux. (24/01/2021)

I’m unable understand how it's possible for the director of Law Abiding Citizen, Straight Outta Compton and Fast and Furious 8 can make such a sterile and uninteresting borefest. The film doesn't offer interesting visuals or action, the acting is alright, but Chris Hemsworth overacts quite a bit and the humor works rather infrequently. I really don't know what went wrong, but Men in Black: International comes across as second or third rate compared to what normally goes to the cinemas. 40%. (21/07/2019)

An absolutely superfluous sequel which only shares the name with the original trilogy. It also shares Emma Thompson as the head of the organization, whose name also happens to be the same, to my bewilderment. To make the movie more interesting, Hollywood created a new, totally improbable duo, in which the supposedly safe bet – Chris Hemsworth –  has no space to be properly funny, and his fairer half Tessa Thompson just sort of exists in the movie. Unfunny, boring, without invention – in short an unnecessary sequel whose only purpose is to make money. (28/02/2020)

Young agent M and British veteran H must join forces to stop a threat that wants to destroy the entire planet. And so they travel between London, New York, Africa and Paris. And it’s boring. The new Men in Black lacks wit, ideas, a clever story and interesting protagonists. And they have nothing to offer either fans of the franchise or casual fans of great sci-fi comedies. A useless film. (13/06/2019)

A weird pastiche with nice visuals, but unfortunately the directing is uninventive. It’s strange that there is no chemistry at all between the central actor duo, while their chemistry together in the last Thor movie was so great. A weak screenplay. Try an R-rated restart in a couple of years’ time. (06/09/2019)
