<em>'Men in Black: International'</em> done more for me than anticipated, it makes for a fairly good reboot in my opinion. Chris Hemsworth and Tessa Thompson reteam up (after the MCU) to solid effect, with Liam Neeson and Kumail Nanjiani in...

Good idea - let's refreshen the cast, relocate to jolly-old England and hopefully we can re-ignite this tiring format by putting a devious fifth columnist amongst the "MIB" organisation to cause mayhem and mischief. Well, I'm afraid they we...

They've changed the setting, the leads, the journey cycle, the effects, (most of) the supporting cast, the tone, and the timeframe, yet somewhere we still have the exact same plot. Four for four on _Men in Black_ with the EXACT. SAME. PLOT....

Chris Hemsworth just makes everything better. The only good parts of Ghostbusters was Hemsworth. His Thor movies were the best of the MC individual movies and his presence made the Avengers movies that much more enjoyable. Similarly, his ...
