This film got a lot of praise going into the Oscars season this year for not only being a commentary of society in the same way Joker does, but doing it through the lens of a Korean family. by doing this it forces the film to have a different feel from any film of its type. Many Americans don't understand the class system of other countries, and getting to see another countries class system being represented on screen gives the film a very different type of feel.

In Korea there are a lot of stricter gun laws that stop people from getting to them so in order to make a kill you would have to use other methods, and that does play a role within the context of this film and adds to the complete and utter fear that can come from it.

There are also a issue for more flooding for the poor in Korea in which this film also addresses in a lot of big and massive ways throughout the film as it becomes the catalyst for why the family makes many of the choices that they choose to make within it.

Parasite really does manage to capture the essence of what truly matters in our society for the poor and the rich and their differences

When going into Men In Black International I didn't have many expectations for the film. I had never really watched any of the Men In Black movies aside from the film halve of the first film. However I wanted to enjoy this film hoping it would reenergize the franchise and give us many more MIB movies. There was also the factor that the movie had Thor and Valkerie in it who had just made me laugh and chuckle a lot in Thor Ragnorok. So going in I was pretty interested in it. Of course the reviews were very poor, but I tried to stay stern. I still was going to see this film and judge it for myself.

And I was very disappointed. I really tried my hardest to connect with the film on some emotional level, but that never came for me. I wanted to have fun with this movies, and for all intensive purposes it wasn't doing anything I hated. There wasn't anything about the structure that felt off and the jokes weren't bad. In fact a lot of them were funny. I especially loved the "girl power" line from Chris Hemsworth's character to Tessa Thompson's character. But at the end of the day I just didn't like this film.

Tessa's character was probably the biggest issue I had with this movie. The movie was all about her, but I found that I just couldn't connect with her emotionally. She has a decent backstory, she has great lines, and how she get into MIB was solid, but even with all of that I just never once cared about her. She just doesn't work.

In contrast Chris Hemsworth's character does work for me. I found his lines were far stronger and funnier. His lazy attitude and stuck uppityness was a treat to see. In many ways he felt like he should have been in this movie more. Sadly he doesn't even come in until after we get done with boring Molly's backstory. Also his name being Agent H like Agent Hemsworth was funny to me.

The villains are pretty bland. Not much more to say there

There is a twist in the film that I didn't see coming, but at the same time it also does a bit of damage to rest of the movie as a whole and feels like the twist hurts other better scenes in the film.

In conclusion MIB International is a pretty meh and average blockbuster with not much to offer itself. The best thing about it was Chris Hemsworth's character while everyone else comes off very plain.
