Just got out. I enjoyed it. I thought it was fun. Very breezy. Movie moved at a good place. Kinda cookie cutter with a few good ideas. There is some generic stuff. Whatever. It worked within context of the movie.

Trailers are extremely misleading I think. Most of the trailer is from like 20-40 minutes of the movie.

I thought the space bad guys we follow were pretty cool.

I think the main detriments is character development is a little weird and the plot holes (mainly because the movie is paced to quickly to explain some things more in-depth)

She was fine. I like that it played with her being just real awkward.

They either shot scenes differently for the trailers or cgid stuff because there’s one scene in the trailer that just looks like a normal gun and in the movie it’s not at all

Based on the trailers, I've been indifferent. But I've got A-List so planning to see it tomorrow afternoon since it's free. As long as it's fun I'll be good with that.

It is fun. Nothing to be taken seriously but I thought it was fun enough.

I really like how they didn’t waste time on shite no one cares about. There is some cringe stuff but nothing that took me out. I think pacing is the best thing about it. I’ve seen worse movies this summer

MIB 3 was really good but I just don’t know anyone who was clamoring for another MIB. I wouldn’t expect it to do great

They were trying super hard to set up a franchise, and it was exactly what I was expecting, headed into it. My only gripe is that they didn't do the 21 Jump Street crossover that was originally planned.

I actually saw a couple of youtube reviewers saying they enjoyed it. The critics beat it to the ground though. I'm interested to see the audience score after this weekend.

I wasn't impressed. Way too trite.

However, I must state that I am not a big fan of these type of movies, anyway, because of that.

Impressed is an interesting word. Impressed. I don’t ever really go to a movie to be impressed. I go to get something out of it. Sometimes I know what that is and sometimes I don’t. Sometimes I hate good movies and sometimes I enjoy movies others don’t like. But, and not saying your guilty of this, but it gets really old how people approach movies these days. There are lots of modern day movies I hate for various reasons but I have real reasons. Feels like people are just wanting to hate shite

Meh, maybe I'm not an expert on word choices. Basically, I was just bored watching the movie, for it offered no real excitement, nothing happened that you didn't expect, and the characters were flat.
Probably the biggest twist to the whole movie is when they both got in the car and the steering wheel was on the right side.
So, really, I wasn't impressed with the movie. Or whatever you would like for me better to say.

‘Humans in Black’: Star of ‘Men in Black’ wants the franchise to have a more inclusive name
quote:

Tessa Thompson, who stars as Agent M in the film "Men in Black: International," said she wants to see the franchise's name changed at some point to make it more inclusive for women.

"I pitched some ideas like 'People in Black,' but that would be 'PiB,' which sounds like a sandwich. I pitched 'Humans in Black,' which would be 'HiB,' which sounds like something you don't want to get," Thompson said Tuesday at the movie's premiere.

"I think we can change the name at some point. But the truth is, I think it's really significant, and I hope we can get to the space where it's not noteworthy when women topline these films, and I think a film like this helps us get there."

Good news Tessa the movie bombed so hard they'll never make another one ever again so you don't have to worry about the name anymore.
