First of all, the fact that the two stars are very calling in one set is no guarantee that their chemistry will carry over to the other. Despite Tom Hanks/Meg Ryan ("Sleepless in Seattle" "Electronic Love Letter"), Keanu Reeves/Sandra Bullock ("Speed of Life", "Untouchable Lovers") ”), the rapport between the unreliable Thor and the world-weary Valkyrie is based on the two characters’ shared backgrounds and conceited personalities. But the duo didn't have any really interesting and deep interactions in Men in Black: Global Hunt, apart from the on-screen face brushing.
In the previous series, the interaction between Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones was not only very vivid in contrasting personalities, but in the end the story always corresponded to an emotional release. On the contrary, when Chris Hemsworth and Tessa Thompson are faced with bland dialogues and scenes, simply selling stupidity and acting stupidly with Tucao can't turn corruption into magic, wasting their talents in vain.
On the other hand, director F. Gary Gray, despite having a stellar resume like "Fast and Furious 8," was at a loss for something as inspiring and witty as "Men in Black." Regardless of whether black directors and science fiction are incompatible (Awa DuVernay's "A Wrinkle in Time" and Stefon Bristol's "Meet Yesterday" are both disastrously bad), "Men in Black: "Global Hunt" is very lacking in imagination in terms of action scenes and special effects. Most of them rely on CG special effects to make up for cutting corners in the design. The expressiveness is far less effective than the previous works that used a lot of on-site special effects. As for the vital alien creatures, not only did they fail to climb out of the Uncanny Valley, but the design that was similar to other movies - such as the viral twins of "The Matrix", such as the tentacle elements that can be seen everywhere - is even more imaginative. lack.
So much appropriation, it boils down to making up for a bad script. Much of the writing duo Matt Holloway and Art Markum's work is pretty bland and clichéd, and it would be nice if the director and star could complement it (like Iron Man); Is the second "Transformers 5". The teasing of Spielberg's sci-fi flick and partner comedy buddy comedy in the early Men in Black films was one of the keys to the ease and effectiveness of the film. But whether it's a screenwriter or director, "Men in Black: Global Pursuit" is more like a Sony sci-fi movie, and has more common genes with "The Expendables", "Pixel Wars" and "Goosebumps", rather than A "Men in Black" movie with Barry Sonnenfeld's quirky ideas.
