Men in Black: International's reviews
Media reviews
The Wrap
"It?s unreasonable to criticize the nutritional value of a Cheeto. A balanced meal wasn?t what Frito-Lay was going for, and you could say the same thing for ?Men in Black: International.? It lacks ambition or depth, but it?s delicious and filling".
The Hollywood Reporter
"The best thing about the revamped Men in Black series is actually a woman. Stepping in after three very successful entries starring Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones for this reboot, Tessa Thompson shines brightly".
Variety
"Director Gray doesn?t have Barry Sonnenfeld?s skill for juggling live-action and visual effects, which leaves the actors looking awkward as they react to computer-generated aliens that never convincingly appear to share their reality".
El País
"The movie, far from giving originality, plays over a safe spot with a safe chemistry: the one that Tessa Thompson and Chris Hemsworth already proved in the Marvel universe".
Rolling Stone
"The makeup and special effects departments work overtime to dazzle us, but the aliens are never the terrors they once were. Have we reached the creature saturation point? Looks like".
Chicago Sun-Times
"The over-the-top sequel, with no Will Smith, also lacks the original?s freshness".
Entertainment Weekly
"International is better than Men in Black II and worse than Men in Black III, and they?re all bad, so erase this sentence from your memory".
Indiewire
"'Men in Black: International' aims to erase any memory that you?ve seen all this before, but only leaves you with the hazy sense of deja vu, and the lingering conviction that the last time was a whole lot better".
The Guardian
"The earnest introduction of gender and migrant issues can?t save this space-invaders caper from CGI-dependent mediocrity".
