Is it any good?


I liked 2 of the three previous films. Is the sci-fi / comedy stuff good or does it all get hijacked by political correctness? (ie Woman are stronger than men, all white people are garbage, etc.)

reply

It's meh, not worth watching really. Slightly better than part 2, but nowhere near 1 or 3. Bad writing, comedy sucks, not much sci-fi. PC doesn't rear it's head too much, but a couple of eye rolling moments do exist.

I liked it a lot. It was a lot better than 2 and about as good as 3.

It flopped. Obviously you are alone in that opinion.

YOUR DEFINITIONS OF POLITICAL CORRECTNESS GIVE AWAY YOUR OWN ISSUES CHIEF.

Haven’t seen the old ones with Will Smith but I enjoyed this so much, a had a few female empowerment moments but it’s not big deal.

Chris Hemsworth and Tessa Thompson have great chemistry and that makes the film easy to watch

You can't be serious? Watch the original three first!!

He/she seems quite serious to me. GTFOH thinking everyone must share YOUR opinion. The movie was very good.

reply

Not really. The first bit is rather enjoyable, but as it goes along, it kind of becomes just some movie. The scifi element leers into full blown fantasy territory. All the women are strong and capable, but not at the expense of turning men into boobs. It's not as family friendly as the earlier films. Lots of coarse language and sexual overtones. Surprisingly violent film. It's all about guns guns GUNS! And the macguffin of the story is the biggest WMD killer gun of all. And people are constantly beating the shit out of each other. Not even remotely clever and well thought out like the Smith films. Not particularly funny either. Just a lot of Hemsworth doing his Thor routine. The storyline of there being a mole in MIB also undermined the cool factor of the institution so none of those scenes were enjoyable either. The main thing missing in this movie: the fun. Pretty disappointing film.

No. Movies suck.

It's decent. Nothing special, and Will Smith & Tommy Lee Jones are missed, but it had some action sequences and funny lines. At least it wasn't as boring as MIB2. If I had to rank the franchise:

MIB
MIB3
MIB: International
MIB2

Cheesy and extremely predictable.

There were a couple cool action sequences, and a pretty sweet motorcycle... Other than that, just a big nothing burger that plays it safe and doesn't want the audience to think very much.
