Plot:<\/strong> The movie is about a recruit Molly\/Agent M, who finally achieves her long-lived dream of joining the \u2018Men in Black\u2019 or \u2018MIB\u2019. She is sent to London for her probationary mission, where she meets Agent H and High T (who heads the \u2018MIB\u2019 London division). Agent M and Agent H are sent on a mission, which leads to a chain of alien attacks that take them around the globe.<\/p>\n

Movie Review<\/h2>\n

The movie is a major letdown to the \u2018Men in Black\u2019 series. I personally am a fan of the \u2018MIB\u2019 series. I have grown up watching these movies and the cartoon based upon the same. This movie somehow lacks the essence of the previous \u2018MIB\u2019 movies. There is only one reference and one old character which binds it to the \u2018MIB\u2019 universe. I had such high expectations from this installment and thought it would make me nostalgic, but I have been disappointed. This is altogether a different movie. It is rather a lighthearted comic-alien chasing film. The actors have done their job. Chris Hemsworth looks handsome and charming. He has done justice to his role the way it was written. Tessa Thompson has been the backbone of this film. Unlike previous \u2018MIB\u2019 movies, her character does not have much of depth. You will keep wondering how so fast, and so perfectly, she knows almost everything there is to know about \u2018MIB\u2019 (their tricks and traits). Liam Neeson does not have much of screen time. He looks elegant and convincing. The script doesn\u2019t have much to offer. It has been loosely written and hence does not give much of a room to the director or the actors to hide. The only good thing about this movie is the little alien called \u2018Pawny\u2019.<\/p>\n

Since the title of the movie has the word \u2018International\u2019<\/strong> in it, they have literally tried to cover the globe. They have taken New York, London, Middle East, Europe and whatnot to make us believe that it is indeed \u2018International\u2019. Even the 3D effects could not save this one. It has nice one liners and a few comic punches, but they don\u2019t even impress us much. Unlike the earlier \u2018MIB\u2019 (though comic and everything), this one fails to leave a mark.<\/p>\n

Our Verdict<\/h3>\n

Don\u2019t go and watch this if you are an \u2018MIB\u2019 fan. This is a new comedy film with new characters and a different storyline. The only reason to watch this is the good looks of Chris Hemsworth and a few funny punches.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
