I like that this is not a reboot. Instead, it is the story of the MIB, 20 years on from the last time we saw them. Molly met an alien when she was little and didn't get neuralized. So she spends the next 20 years becoming an expert and hunting down the MIB organization. When she finds them, she gets herself hired on as a probationary agent, and promptly sent to London to work with H (Hemsworth). The first walk through headquarters is a modern Mos Eisley, and still just as fun. The story is really the same - bad aliens are coming to destroy the earth - MIB must find and destroy - who can you trust - it all works out in the end. A particular highlight was Kumail Nanjiani as Steve. The voice and character were perfection. This is low key entertainment, so as a high stakes summer blockbuster it will be considered a failure. But is you see it, you will enjoy it.
