Men In Black is coming back in an all-new avatar with a new entry subtitled International. The movie has a new star cast and a brand new director - all designed to give the franchise a new edge in accordance to the new audience, while keeping the old fans around. Chris Hemsworth and Tessa Thompson reunite after Thor: Ragnarok for Men In Black International playing the lead characters. We have already seen this pairing's chemistry as friends work like a charm in the MCU movie, and seems like that chemistry is the only thing going on for MIB 4 as well. Other than that, top critics have not been very kind to this movie directed by  F. Gary Gray. Here is what everyone's saying about the latest entry in the MIB franchise. Chris Hemsworth And Tessa Thompson Tour To Russia For Men In Black: International Promotion With Frank The Pug (And He Is Super Cute)!

While Variety appreciated Chris' comic timing and Tessa's strong screen presence, they added, "In terms of basic execution, “Men in Black: International” is a mess, and if the film were being graded purely in terms of technique, it barely passes muster (inserts, flashbacks and loose ends belie last-minute accommodations to baffled test-screening audiences)"

Variety's sentiments were shared by IGN. They wrote, Hemsworth and Thompson are undoubtedly charming together, bringing their Thor: Ragnarok double act into a new setting, right down to the former’s accent. Sadly, the writing doesn’t live up to their talents," Men In Black International Hindi Trailer: Sidhant Chaturvedi and Sanya Malhotra's Version is BOHT HARD! Watch Video.

Screenrant also loved Chris and Tessa's chemistry and wrote, "Men in Black: International is a decent summer popcorn movie with enough enjoyable action and banter between H and M for a fine moviegoing experience. Fans of Hemsworth and Thompson will likely find more entertainment in the movie than Men in Black fans, though given the franchise's track record, it's unclear if any franchise fans still exist. Still, there are enough new ideas here that the movie isn't a complete retread of the previous entries. It may be worth a watch for those interested in the latest Men in Black movie or in Hemsworth and Thompson's continuing partnership,"

But The Guardian had entirely different viewpoints. They, disappointedly, wrote, "All the sprightliness that Hemsworth showed in the Avengers movies and in the Ghostbusters remake is nowhere to be found: both script and direction mean that the spark isn’t there, and Thompson has no real chance to shine,"

IndieWire was also not impressed by the film. They wrote, "Fans of the series know that the sunglasses only go on when the neutralizer’s about to zap some poor sap’s recollection of past events. “Men in Black: International” aims to erase any memory that you’ve seen all this before, but only leaves you with the hazy sense of deja vu, and the lingering conviction that the last time was a whole lot better,"

All in all Men In Black International has not been well received by the critics. But the critical failure of success of a movie has rarely driven its box office returns. The movie just might be able to strike a chord with the audience. After all, even the harshest of critics have enjoyed Tessa and Chris's pairing. The movie opens in theatres this Friday.
