This is NOT a spin off movie! This is from the same stable as the Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones camp. However.... The things that made the other MiB movies 'fun' got churned back out on too many occasions in this one and subsequently a lot of the good got lost in it.
I actually think that Chris Hemsworth was a good fit and as for Tessa Thomson, she was absolutely perfect, assuming that the role wasn't written wholly based on her playing it!
The story is the same old same old but that doesn't matter, the twists are few and far between (that is the reason a lot of reviews suggest that this is for the younger viewer - i.e. shorter attention span!) but they work. There are a couple of sequences that seem to have absolutely no bearing on the story, possibly some scenes were cut and they forgot that there were explanatory scenes earlier that could/should have been removed along with them.
The special effects are top notch and fit well, although some of the CGI is just there to prove that they can do that! You'll see what I mean when you see the 'references' to the previous movies.
Synopsis: worth a watch if you like the previous MiB movies but not for the story.
