Leave your thoughts about Men in Black: International.
| The Film StageDan MeccaThis is breezy stuff, a welcome respite in the hot summer months. |
| TheWrapWilliam BibbianiIt lacks ambition or depth, but it’s delicious and filling, proving (as if anyone still needed proof) that Tessa Thompson and Chris Hemsworth are two of the most likable movie stars in the galaxy. |
| The VergeTasha RobinsonIt’s rare that a blockbuster movie feels this competently, serenely middle-of-the-road, but maybe being this safe in an era of easy outrage is its own form of mild, moderate, entirely bland achievement. |
| Washington PostMichael O'SullivanKumail Nanjiani is the best thing about Men in Black: International. That’s saying something, considering that the actor never appears on camera and that the character he lends his expressively plaintive voice to is a CGI alien the size of a gerbil. |
| Chicago TribuneMichael PhillipsMen in Black: International isn’t bad; it’s an improvement over “Men in Black II” (2002) and “Men in Black 3” (2012), sequels that even its makers may have forgotten. |
| EmpireJames DyerUnasked for, unnecessary but unexpectedly enjoyable. |
| VarietyPeter DebrugeThe connection between Tessa Thompson and Hemsworth is what saves the day, not anything their characters do onscreen. |
| The Hollywood ReporterTodd McCarthyIn and of itself, this revamp is mildly engaging but also feels like it's expending a great deal of energy for quite modest entertainment returns. |
| VoxAlex Abad-SantosTessa Thompson and Chris Hemsworth’s chemistry and rookie/vet dynamic is almost enough to make you forget about the missed opportunity and just relish in all the alien tomfoolery. |
| CNNBrian LowryThe movie conjures some of the goofy charms associated with the franchise, but sags in its midsection like "Endgame"-vintage Thor before nicely rallying at the finish. |
