Here are review links for this film submitted by our members:

  • Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
    • Excerpt: Even Chris Hemsworth, that sex symbol with a sense of humor, doesn’t enliven the proceedings, his best bit an in joke involving a smaller version of Thor’s hammer.
  • Herman Dhaliwal @ Cinema Sanctum
    • Excerpt: It’s hard to have any strong feelings on something like Men In Black: International when it seems like the film itself seems to not have much care or energy put into it.
  • [New] | M Enois Duarte @ High-Def Digest.com
    • Excerpt: As a spin-off reboot meant to reignite interest for a new generation, F. Gary Gray’s Men in Black: International sadly crash lands with a sleep-inducing dud, despite the cosmic charisma of stars Chris Hemsworth and Tessa Thompson.
  • M. Enois Duarte @ High-DefDigest.com
    • Excerpt: As a spin-off reboot meant to reignite interest for a new generation, F. Gary Gray’s Men in Black: International sadly crash lands with a sleep-inducing dud, despite the cosmic charisma of stars Chris Hemsworth and Tessa Thompson.
  • Mark Hobin @ Fast Film Reviews
    • Excerpt: The plot is pretty standard stuff. However, this amiable production coasts on the smooth easygoing chemistry of its two leads.
  • MaryAnn Johanson @ FlickFilosopher.com
    • Excerpt: Performs a complete charmectomy on its usually hugely charismatic stars, leaves them to flounder about with a bizarrely inept script, and actually seems to be trolling us with its pseudo feminism.
  • Charlie Juhl @ Citizen Charlie
    • Excerpt: Claims to refresh and expand the MiB universe, yet it sullies and cheapens the first film already maligned by sequels which tripped over their shoelaces instead of carrying the baton.
  • Jeremy Kibler @ The Artful Critic
    • Excerpt: As a summer blockbuster, “Men in Black: International” is a flat, underwhelming mediocrity that doesn’t reinvigorate the franchise at all and just neuralyzes its audience’s memory as it plays out. More like “Meh in Black.”
  • Dan Lybarger @ Arkansas Democrat-Gazette
    • Excerpt: Picking a favorite Men in Black sequel is like choosing between Larry, Moe and Curly. Although each has his merits, one still has to select a Stooge.
  • Mike McGranaghan @ The Aisle Seat
    • Excerpt: This is the first unadulterated bomb of the 2019 summer season – a joyless, unfunny, ill-conceived mess.
  • Simon Miraudo @ Student Edge
    • Excerpt: Tessa Thompson’s great, but Men In Black: International just isn’t good—or gross—enough to earn any space in your memory.
  • Aaron Neuwirth @ We Live Entertainment
    • Excerpt: For all the clever gadgets and alien designs … , there’s not much here to make the film standout.
  • Eddie Pasa @ Gunaxin
  • Jason Pirodsky @ The Prague Reporter
    • Excerpt: Keeping Men in Black: International afloat, in addition to the colorful effects, globetrotting locals, and all-around first-rate production design – are two colorful central performances from Thompson and Hemsworth, who help breathe some fresh life into the franchise.
  • Don Shanahan @ Every Movie Has a Lesson
    • Excerpt: Tessa and Chris might glow like radium, but Men in Black: International is an inert gas, fleeting and faint.
  • Amir Siregar @ Amir at the Movies [Indonesian]
    • Excerpt: Another bland entry on the already forgettable – no neuralyzer needed – movie series.
