MIB INTERNATIONAL (Theatrical Release USA 2019)

 Ben Meyers’ Rating: 3.8|5.0 Starsììì 

MIB: International begins with good intrigue but cannot hold that throughout the movie. Chris Hemsworth seems uncomfortable with his lines. And, Liam Neeson seems just as unsuited to his assigned dialogue. The presentation does not equal the last three MIB movies mostly due to its weakly written script. And, the thought that this series may have run its course and entered its death stages comes to mind. Hopefully, the errors can be corrected and the movie freshens itself again. Emma Thompson absolutely works in this movie. It is intriguing to watch Tessa Thompson as her own personality projects and dominates her assigned character rather than integrating the character into her own.

Buy a ticket? Yes? No? Maybe? 

Maybe. This film is not as high quality as previous MIB films, but if one wants to see the latest film in the MIB franchise, this is it. It’s premise is good. But it has a long road to travel to keep pace with previously made MIB stories.
