Director F. Gary Gray’s movie starts with the UK’s finest MIB agent H and the branch’s head High T — played by Chris Hemsworth and Liam Neeson, respectively — taking down a dangerous mutating alien race called the “Hybrid.”
Meanwhile, Molly (Tessa Thompson) — who had a run-in with an alien and the Men in Black as a child — tracks down the top-secret agency and convinces O, the head of MIB’s US branch, to hire her as a probationary agent, M.
Smart, knowledgeable and headstrong, M teams up with H on a mission to guard alien royalty, but gets dragged into an intergalactic conspiracy when the mission goes horribly wrong.
Seeing the familiar fonts of the MIB series in the opening scene took me back to the late 1990s, when annoying dramatic close-ups were everywhere and “Wassuuuuuup” was a thing for some reason. It had me nostalgic and craving for a cheesy, cartoony film, even more so after Neeson’s “I hate Paris” line. Corny? Yes, but I was ready to eat it up.
Then the film slapped me awake from my delusion.
The tone of the movie was very different from the original. The MIB trilogy was more like a cartoon than the comics it was based on, which were actually not so light-hearted. Even the death scenes in “Men in Black: International” were somewhat grotesque, unlike the silly and gross ones in the original.
