Parents advised reading before viewing the film as some scene may contain scenes unsuitable for younger viewers.
Sex & Nudity: There are references to a woman's apparent 'fetish' for aliens, which is promptly denied. A woman refuses to 'fornicate' with an alien
Violence & Gore: Moderate violence, including crunchy fist-fights and laser shoot-outs.
Two men are somewhat gruesomely melted by aliens.
There's a large shootout in a street in which a man and woman shot at two aliens. Lots of destruction occurs in this scene.
Profanity: Uses of 'd*ck', 'd*mn', 'p*ssed', 'bl*ody', 'scr*w', 'cr*p', 'b*gger', 'jack*ss' and 'h*ll'.
Alcohol/Drugs/Smoking: Aliens can be seen drinking alcohol or in small parts in the movie
Frightening/Intense Scenes: women are somewhat gruesomely melted by aliens.
An alien threatens to take his own life; he doesn't seem serious, however, and doesn't go through with it.
Story: The Men in Black have always protected the Earth from the scum of the universe. In this new adventure, they tackle their biggest threat to date: a mole in the Men in Black organization
Likes: First of all not a reboot of the franchise, it's just a continuing franchise that not based in America, this time it goes around the world to the London branch of MIB where the character has been assigned to find a Mole in MIB.
All though the film doesn't quite have the charm and Humour as Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones did in the first two films, Chris Hemsworth and Tessa Thompson do a great job with the entertainment side of the film. Not to say that the film is a little weak in places with the writing Chris and Tessa try their best with what they are given to give the audience a good film.
There are a few calls back to the original with the return of certain aliens and Picture in the office that actually expands the universe of the films, but ultimately this film lack sometime with it humor and the story writing is a little predictable with some character being a throwaway character.
Though it a film that not your standard comedy humor it very sarcastic humor with the Banter so it a case of you funny sarcastic humor funny you might not get the humor which could ruin the film for you.
Rebecca Ferguson looking beautiful as ever adds some flare to the film although it a cameo. give's the film some entertainment, as ive said the film is good for some entertainment but not really a film I would rush out to watch.
Dislikes: The issue here with this film is its weak story writing and storytelling as the story seem simple and not really anything new. feel like the film tries to capture what the first film did yet flaws short.
Overall: Good entertainment, but lack in a certain area, Good performance with what is given
Rating: 4.3 out of 5 for Entertainment / 7 out of 10 for concept and continue to the franchise.
