	Author	Review
United States	Peter Debruge Variety	"In terms of basic execution, 'Men in Black: International' is a mess (...) The thermonuclear connection between Tessa Thompson and Hemsworth is what saves the day"	NEU
United States	Todd McCarthy The Hollywood Reporter	"This revamp is mildly engaging but also feels like it's expending a great deal of energy for quite modest entertainment returns (...) This is a fine and unexpected showcase for Thompson"	NEU
United States	Darren Franich Entertainment Weekly	"'International' is better than 'Men in Black II' and worse than 'Men in Black III', and they’re all bad, so erase this sentence from your memory."	NEG
United States	David Crow Den of Geek	"'Men in Black: International' is neither good nor bad, black or white. It’s an inoffensive, and unappealing, gray (…) Rating: ★★½ (out of 5)"	NEU
United States	Joe Skrebels IGN	"It feels like 'Men In Black' by numbers, a trudge from one set-piece to the next untidily glued together by weak gags and sharp suits, never getting us to care about its characters or the world-changing stakes."	NEG
United States	Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"Though the film feels born to be mild, there are still pleasures to be had. The effervescent biplay between Hemsworth and Thompson keeps us happily in the game. (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of 5)"	NEU
United States	William Bibbiani The Wrap	"Empty but entertaining, and carried almost exclusively on the multimillion-dollar charms of its stars (...) It lacks ambition or depth, but it’s delicious and filling"	NEU
United Kingdom	Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"It’s time once again for what must now be called the Meh in Black, making another intensely tiresome and pointless reappearance (…) Rating: ★ (out of 5)"	NEG
United Kingdom	Tim Robey Telegraph	"You can sit through it without much complaint, but you won’t need neuralysing to forget the whole thing an hour or two later (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEG
United Kingdom	Tim Grierson Screendaily	"It’s not simply Will Smith’s effortless magnetism that is missing — 'International' has none of the ingenuity or buoyancy of the 1997 original."	NEG
Canada	Molly Freeman Screen Rant	"Though Gray brings a new and exciting perspective to the sci-fi franchise and Hemsworth and Thompson have an established comedic compatibility, [it] never lives up to its potential (…) Rating: ★★½ (out of 5)"	NEU
Ireland	Paul Whitington Irish Independent	"There’s lots of furious activity (...) but none of it engages the viewer for long in a muddled film that’s trying way too hard (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEG
Ireland	Donald Clarke Irish Times	"You’ll need no help forgetting this one (...) The movie’s only purpose is to reassure you of its own unnecessary existence (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEG
Ireland	Harry Guerin RTÉ	"Things take too long to get going (...) Although Thompson and Hemsworth have the screen chemistry, they're badly served by a script that fails to make the most of it (…) Rating: ★★½ (out of 5)"	NEU
Ireland	James W. Anderson entertainment.ie	"[It] is not a terrible film, it is just terribly uninspired (...) You’d hope there would be at least some good action but that also disappoints (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEG
