The Men in Black have always protected the Earth from the scum of the universe. In this new adventure, they tackle their biggest, most global threat to date: a mole in the Men in Black organization.
Critics were nearly unanimous in dismissing Men in Black: International as a hollow franchise extension, with the central complaint being that the film has no compelling reason to exist beyond its stars' obvious charm. Thompson and Hemsworth's chemistry earned the most consistent praise, but reviewers found it wasted on a plot too thin and formulaic to do anything interesting with it.
“Men in Black, making another intensely tiresome and pointless reappearance”
Peter Bradshaw·The Guardian
“The connection between Tessa Thompson and Hemsworth is what saves the day, not anything their characters do onscreen”
Peter DeBruge·Variety
“Men 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.”
