Men in Black: International [SteelBook] [4K Ultra HD Blu-ray/Blu-ray] [Only @ Best Buy] [2019]

I almost skipped this movie because I heard it was terrible from both critics and reviewers. I decided to just go and see it and what do you know? I ended up enjoying it very much. I haven’t liked an MIB movie this much since the original one. I really thought that that the sequels to the original with Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones were weak and uninspired whereas this actually does breathe life back into the franchise and has a great plot, great acting, great action, and great chemistry between the characters. Chris Hemsworth and the woman agent who played Valkyrie in Thor: Ragnorok are great together and Emma Thompson and Liam Neeson are exceptional in their respective roles. The alien sidekick is hilarious and awesome and adds to the movie instead of coming off as hokey. The story is really well thought out and was very entertaining; it had elements of humor and serious elements that balanced out very well. I enjoyed this much more than the sequels to the first one and I hope they make more of these with this cast because this reboot proved that Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones were not what made the franchise, it was the writing; I’m glad they stopped following formula and actually wrote a cool story this time around. Don’t listen to all the cynical critics and reviewers, and see this with and open mind. MIB international is the kick in the butt this franchise needed!!!

I wasn’t looking forward to this incarnation of MIB. I am a completist, so I bought it and gave it a shot. It was on par with the other MIB movies. None of the movies have been stellar/classic. This movie is no better than previous entries with the exception that the fully CGI characters are better realized. Don’t expect much and you’ll be fine, but just realize, it is about two hours of mediocrity. The presentation is fantastic and the audio is stellar and it is all wasted on a par-level movie.

Very surprised this movie did poorly in the theaters given the cast and the strength of the series, but I confess that I did see it until it came out on BluRay. Overall great movie. Excellent casting, I was actually surprised by some of the people in it having not reviewed it beyond the cover before making my purchase. This movie has a strong story although it is overall predictable - save the world, plot twist, heroes defeat, struggle and finally save the world again. Finally, this movie has great special effects as one would expect from an MIB offering.

It was a fun movie, but when I finished it I felt like there was a lot missing from the experience...for instance, character building was minimal and lackadaisical. This is one of those movies that I am a bit ambivalent with. On one hand, this isn’t as good as the original, but it is entertaining and worth a watch.

To be honest, the MIB sense of humor feels somewhat dated to me, but this film wasn't bad. I think the original cast is what gave the original trilogy its charm, but the addition of Kumail Nanjiani helped a lot. Fans of the original MIB trilogy will surely enjoy this film.

I really enjoyed the movie. Then again I'm easy to please on these type of movies. It's a nice continuation of the series. I love all steelbooks although I thought this could've been much better. I actually wish Best Buy would stop with these ugly PopArt editions and stick with the original movie art.

Chris Hemsworth is still really enjoyable in any role, just like Thor and Tessa Lynn Thompson is great and continues her run in action films like her roles in the Marvel movies. The two actors work well together and figuring out the villain keeps you guessing ‘til the end. The aliens are as entertaining as they were in the first three “ Men in Black” movies. Two thumbs up !

I thought the new MIB was alright. However, I did miss the original character that was in the earlier ones. I just felt like all I was wondering while looking at this one was it could have been so much better with the original actors in it. Enough said.
