Sooo... Men In Black isn't really a perfect franchise... but in the first 3 movies you're pretty much guaranteed some fun characters with great chemistry, some fun villains... and some actual LAUGHS.
This movie had... none of that...
And it's not like anyone in the movie or working behind the scenes of the movie is that bad. My boyfriend thought maybe the director was bad... he's directed some good movies including The Italian Job and Straight Outta Compton. The writers really don't seem that bad. Chris Hemsworth, Tessa Thompson, Liam Neison, and even Kumail Nanjiani who voiced Pawny are all good... so that doesn't make sense. Tessa Thompson and Hemsworth have also worked together in Thor and Avengers Endgame... so they do have great chemistry together... just nothing really worked in this movie.
It felt like it could have been an okay movie- but it went stale somewhere. It's the movie equivalent of a stale bag of chips. There was just nothing funny or interesting about it. I thought the saving grace of the movie would be the adorable Pawny voiced by one of my favorite comedians... Kumail Nanjianni but I can't say he was because he just seemed like an annoying rip off minion... and the jokes just didn't land.
The one thing I kind of enjoyed about the movie was the opening scene with Agent M as a little girl seeing the alien and setting it free and not getting nebulized... and I did like that that had payoff later in the movie.
This movie had both too much going on and not enough going on at the same time. It felt like there were a lot of subplots that they could have broke into different movies... but at the same time it was just kind of slow and instantly forgettable.
I don't know that I would totally write off seeing any other Men In Black Movies that might come out... but I don't think I'd go into theaters to see it again. This was just not the fun movie that the originals were... and I feel bad because I really like all the actors in the movie and I think they did a fine job... I just feel like something went wrong. Maybe there's some deleted scenes that would make this more watchable.
Let me know what you guys thought of the movie... Maybe I just watched it wrong or something? But it was bad.
Bye!
