I went to see MIB: International last week, partially to celebrate getting a pay raise at work, partially because I will watch literally anything with Tessa Thompson. All three previous Men In Black movies are cherished in my family, and have been since we saw the first one in theaters back in 1997. We still quote them endlessly. Yes, all of them, although the first is a definite favorite.
So I approached the new entry with equal parts excitement and trepidation. It was . . . fine. I laughed out loud a fair few times. I liked most of the characters. The plot was straightforward and easy to follow, no surprises really, but it was fun. So yeah, it was fine. About on par with the other two sequels, but not going to overtake the original in a hurry. Pretty much what I expected. It was also one of the most sparsely attended opening nights I've been to in a while.
My overall impression can accurately be summed up with this awkward thumbs-up GIF:
Chris Hemsworth and Tessa Thompson exchanging thumbs-up, her with a slightly pained expression.
