Jumanji and Spiderverse seems to be the only recent bright spots
The most pertinent MiB info is here...
You haven't truly made it as a writer until the Hollywood accountants get you.

The trailers were godawful, not that you can review a movie based on that clearly(Aladdin), but still...Looked horrendous with absolute zero chemistry between the lead actors.
Will Smith stays winning, as he should. Give me a new follow up MiB with him, and while you're at it Hollywood, get me a Wild Wild West sequel! I enjoyed it!

I'll have you know Men in Black 3 was rated fresh, sorta...
I meant was 3rd stinker in a row in terms of the overall summer movie box office. First Godzilla, then Dark Phoenix, and now MIB:I.
But yeah 3rd stinker in a row for the MIB franchise as well lmao (although it does look like some folks here did enjoy it).
Fourth, don't forget Aladdin
And yeah, I know the general public likes Aladdin, but they also like Godzilla and will probably like this. Critically it's been panned.
At least that one made money, the rest are iffy at best (we'll see MIB).
Well, we'll just have to see about that.
Not to mention we gotta see how Tom Holland's Uncharted would looked like first.
I mean it had a pretty good opening weekend, no? That and it's got pretty good legs so I wouldn't count it.
Good box office, audiences liked it, but overall critics didn't like it. 2 out of 3 ain't bad.
If they put the same level of quality in their future movies/series than their own games, it's a done deal but yeah we'll see
Unfortunately, Uncharted with Tom Holland is a Sony Pictures project, not overseen by PlayStation Productions
And the 20+ year old Saturday morning kids cartoon continues to be the only clever/well-written MiB sequel, the only worthy successor to an amazing first installment. Why am I not surprised that this turned out to be trash?
MiB is getting that bullshit "Sonic/Crash was never good" narrative lol

Wow, i didn't expect it to be that low especially with a decent trailer like that! Gaming Forums

MiB 3 was a good film and actually dared to do something different. It did the Infinity War "infinite possibilities" before it was cool.
Yeah, I really loved it. It's not as good as the first, but that's legit one of the best action comedies ever made, so that's fine.
I always loved this scene for example:
Shows how the insignificant can sometimes mean so much more.
A pity, I liked where they were going with the actors and a fresh start. They just needed to figure out a good story to tell. I guess the crossover with 21js would have been better.
I have no idea why Sony still meddles with their movies this much, when they have different teams that are able to put out inspired Blockbusters.
They manage to fuck up with a consistency that's mind-blowing.

I honestly think Will Smith is to MiB as Johnny Depp is to Pirates. It simply won't work without him.
I don't think so, he was great in the first one, but I don't think he saved the second or third one. The buddy cop formula is somewhat needed for this franchise to work though. There has to be someone grounding the whole thing.
I think he is legit the only reason people went to see those films at all.
Wow this was absolute dogshit. The only thing I liked was Kumail Nanjiani's CGI alien. The performances were totally bland and phoned in - Tessa Thompson was fine but the material did nothing for her. Hemsworth was on autopilot, while the likes of Thompson/Neeson/Ferguson were just totally wasted.
The direction was bad, the visual effects outside of Pawny were awful, the twin villains were a big fat nothing. Most of the jokes didn't land outside of Pawny, the action was generic and forgettable.
Everything plot-wise was either super predictable or just dull.
This series really didn't need the globe-trotting treatment. I came out of it feeling tired and drowsy, which is pretty much the worst thing you can say for "dumb fun" like this.
I hated it. It was worse than Dark Phoenix. At least that film had McAvoy giving it his all and some not-terrible visuals. This thing was so, so soulless in a summer that's been filled with mechanical entertainment.

Everybody is blaming Gary but he wasn't the issue, the issue is that the writers are a bunch of hacks that somehow still have jobs
It was my month to pick the movie my wife go to see and it was between this, Shaft, and everything else. Looks like I'm going to gift her the choice. We'll probably end up at Late Night, which sounds pretty good at this point.
Hey they did
"Check Wikipedia"
Iron man (the movie that was basically improvise)
And Transformers last night and punisher war zone
Hmm you may have a point
The producers are the ones who keep messing this series up, not the writers.
They are chasing the Marvel Studios money. They didn't try to hide that. Lots of people are, but it's extremely difficult to be successful. Remains to be seen. I think VG properties can make good movies and TV shows, but not sure they can make huge billion plus blockbusters. I doubt any TLOU or GoW movie/tv show will be as good as the games.
He's at least partially to blame. His direction was dull and lifeless, and he should've been able to better utilize the cast.
He was good in Rush ........
That's pretty much his only other good movie
HOT TAKE:
everyone is wrong. If you dont go in expecting the slapstick humour of MIB will smith edition.... this was actually quite entertaining. I certainly enjoyed it more than Xmen:DP and lots of recent movies I've watched. The whole way through I expected it to tank but it didn't actually. Rather good. They also kept you guessing re: the mole too. This person, that person with some succinct casting of liam neeson and ralph spall (both played villians of late).
so
7.8/10
I wonder why so many critics hated it. I thought the leads were charming and their chemistry was still there.. The little pawn thing had a few laugh out loud lines and it was pretty solid. Better than 2+3

Calling Hemsworth a great actor is being a little more than generous. Hes okay.
I said I didn't hate it; it's average but definitely a creatively bankrupt movie. And Hemsworth and Thompson can be way better, as we've seen in Ragnarok.
